DCA-600SSV — 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 generator control panel and DO NOT effect the generator output. They are provided to help observe how much power is being supplied, produced at the UVWO terminals lugs.

Before taking a reading from either gauge, configure the volt- age change-over board which produces the desired outputvoltage. When the voltage change-over board is jumpered for 3Ø, 240V operation (See Figure 15).

AC Ammeter Gauge Reading

Place the AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 18) in the U position and observe the current reading (load drain) on the U terminal as indicated in the AC Ammeter Gauge (Figure 19). This process can be repeated for terminals V and W.

The ammeter and voltmeter gauges will only show a reading when the Output Terminal Lugs are connected to a load and in use.

ACVoltmeter Gauge Reading

Place the AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 16) in the W-U position and observe the phase to phase voltage reading between the W and U terminals as indicated in the AC Voltmeter Gauge (Figure 17).
