EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

This equipment is a revolving field, alternating current generator set. The generator was designed to supply electrical power for the operation of compatible electrical loads-when the UTILITY power supply is not available or has dropped to an unacceptable level.

The generator'srevolving field is directly connected to and driven by an engine by means of flexible discs. Generators with a four- pole rotor are driven at rated speeds of 1,800 rpm to supply a frequency of 60 Hertz.

Refer to the data label on this specific generator or to the data label affixed to the unit for rated AC voltage, wattage, amperage, number of phases, etc. See "Identification Code" for an explanation of the way to identify the unit'sfeatures.

STANDARD GENERATOR FEATURES

This generator incorporates the following generator features:

•The rotor insulation system is Class "H" rated, and the stator insulation is Class "H" rated as defined by NEMA MG1-22.4 and NEMA MG1-1.65.

•The generator is self-ventilated and drip-proof constructed.

•The voltage waveform deviation, total harmonic content of the AC waveform and "telephone influence factor" have been evaluated and are acceptable according to NEMA MG1-22.

•All prototype tested models have passed three-phase sym- metrical short circuit test to ensure system protection and reliability.

General Information

ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES

The stationary emergency generator may be required to operate for long periods of time without an operator on hand to monitor such engine conditions as coolant temperature, oil pressure or rpm. For that reason, the engine has several devices designed to protect it against potentially damaging conditions by automatically shutting down the unit when the oil pressure is too low, the coolant temperature is too high, the coolant level is too low, or the engine is running too fast.

NOTE:

Engine protective switches and sensors are mentioned here for the reader'sconvenience. Also refer to the applicable control panel manual for additional automatic engine shutdown infor- mation.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENDER

This sender automatically shuts down the engine if the engine coolant temperature rises above a safe level.

LOW COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR

Should the engine coolant level drop below the level of the high coolant temperature switch, it is possible for the engine to overheat without automatic shutdown. To prevent such overheating, the engine has alow coolant level sensor. If the level of engine coolant drops below the level of the low coolant level sensor, the engine automatically shuts down.

OIL PRESSURE SENDER

This sender monitors oil pressure in the engine. If oil pressure drops below a safe level, the control system automatically shuts down the engine.

OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN

A speed circuit controls engine cranking, start-up, operation and shutdown. Engine speed signals are delivered to the circuit board whenever the unit is running. Should the engine overspeed above a safe, preset value, the circuit board initiates an automatic engine shutdown.

OVERCRANK SHUTOOWN

After a prespecified duration of cranking, this function ends the cranking if the engine has failed to start.

RPM SENSOR LOSS SHUTDOWN

If the speed signal to the control panel is lost, engine shutdown will occur.

DC FUSES

These fuses are located inside the front panel of the control sys- tem. They protect the panel wiring and components from damag- ing overload.
