GENERATOR OUTPUTS/ GAUGE READING

How to Read the AC Ammeter and AC Voltage Gauges. The AC ammeter and AC voltmeter gauges are controlled by the AC ammeter and AC voltmeter change-over switches.

Both of these switches are located on the control panel and DO NOT effect the generator output. They are provided to help observe the phase to phase voltage and the current flowing to the load at the UVWO output terminals lugs.

Observe that the voltage change-over board (Figure 17) has been configured for 3Ø, 240V operation.

AC Ammeter Gauge Reading
Place the	(Figure 20)

to the U position and observe the current reading (load drain) on the U terminal as indicated on the

(Figure 21). This process can be repeated for terminals V and W.
