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 how much power is being supplied, produced at the UVWO terminals lugs.

Before taking a reading from either gauge, confi gure the Voltage Change-Over Board (Figure 13) which produces the desired output voltage.

AC Ammeter Gauge Reading

Place the AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 16) in the U position and observe the current reading (load drain) on the U terminal as indicated on the AC Ammeter Gauge (Figure 17). This process can be repeated for terminals V and W.

NOTICE

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

AC Voltmeter Gauge Reading

Place the AC Voltmeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 14) in the W-U position and observe the phase to phase voltage reading between the W and U terminals as indicated on the AC Voltmeter Gauge (Figure 15).
