GA-3.6RZ2 — GENERAL INFORMATION

GA-3.6RZ2 FAMILIARIZATION

Generator

The Multiquip Model GA-3.6RZ2 generator has been designed as a portable lightweight power source for 60 Hz (single- phase) vibrators, lighting facilities, power tools, sermersible pumps and other industrial and construction machinery.

This generator employs the highly reliable ROBIN engine. The alternator, a brushless revolving-field type, single phase is permanently aligned to the engine through rigid coupling.

The entire generator is mounted on rubber vibration isolators that have a steel base backplate which is attached to the protective steel pipe carrying frame. The protective carrying frame is made of steel tubing and fully wraps around the generator to protect against damage.

This portable generator is supplied with a electrical control box. To reduce vibration caused by the engine, the control box is also placed on rubber isolators.

Control Box

The control box has the following: ( outputs are 60 Hz, single phase)

λOne 120V output receptacle.

λOne 240V output receptacle.

λOne 120V output receptacle (GFCI protected).

λOne main 13.5 amp circuit breaker.

λAC Voltmeter

λIdle Control Switch

λFull Power Switch

λGround Terminal

Excitation System

All GA-series generators use a magnet attached to a flywheel to produce AC voltage from a lamp coil beneath the flywheel. As the magnetic passes the coil it produces approximately 19-22 AC volts.

This voltage (19-22 VAC) is then sent to the control box that contains three rectifying diodes:

λExcitation (diode 1)

λBattery (diode 2)

λSlow Down (diode 3)

The AC voltage will pass through the excitation diode that converts the voltage to DC power.

This DC power is then sent to the excitation windings housed within the main windings commonly called the "stator".

This voltage is then transferred into the rotor through induction.The rotor contains two diodes within it which rectify the DC voltage and send it out through the main windings, as AC voltage.

Engine

The four-cycle air-cooled ROBIN gasoline engine is designed to meet every performance requirement of this generator. Reference Table 1, page 8 for engine specifications
