OM-2053 E. Control Box Assembly The control box (Fig. 6) is a sheet metal enclosure which houses and provides mounting facilities for generator controls, and engine and generator monitoring equipment. For access to components mounted inside the control box, it is necessary to remove two 1/4 X 20 - 1/2-inch hex bolts, and to pull down the front panel, which is hinged to the control box at the bottom.
OM-2053 (a) Sensing modules The voltage sensing module (4) and frequency sensing module (6) are connected to gener- ator output leads between the generator and load contactor. These solid-state modules sense any abnormal condition of voltage or frequency and signal the solid-state circuitry of the mem- ory and time delay module (7) to open the load contactor and disconnect output to the air- craft.
Page 25
OM-2053 Trip values for protective circuits are as follows: Overvoltage trips at 130 V to 134 V Undervoltage trips at 102 V or below Overfrequency trips at 415 Hz to 425 Hz Underfrequency trips at 390 Hz to 395 Hz Undervoltage time delay (adjustable) Overload circuit trips at any value over 125% rated load capacity.
Page 26
OM-2053 (g) Fuse-interlock relay The function of the fuse-interlock relay (8) is to interrupt the load contactor holding coil circuit and remove the load in case of a “blown” fuse (8, Fig. 6) in the protective relay coil circuit. (h) Auxiliary underfrequency relay The function of the auxiliary underfrequency relay (9) is to automatically open the excitation- deenergization relay and disconnect the voltage regulator any time generator frequency drops to 380 Hz or below.
OM-2053 (c) Oil pressure gage and oil pressure switch The oil pressure gage (10) is a bourdon tube type and indicates engine lubricating oil pres- sure. It is graduated from 0 PSI to 75 PSI. An oil pressure switch is mounted in a tee fitting di- rectly behind the gage.
OM-2053 (d) Engine starting circuit The pushbutton start switch (13 ) and permissive toggle switch (15) serve to connect power to the starter solenoid which functions to engage the starter gear with the flywheel ring gear and apply power to the starter motor to crank the engine. The permissive toggle switch (15) also stops the engine when the toggle is placed in the STOP (down) position.
Page 31
OM-2053 (3) Overload module The overload module is located inside the generator control box. This overload module (5, Fig 7) is a solid-state device designed to interpret a signal from the current transformers and to send a signal to the protective monitor module (7, Fig. 7) when an overload condition exists in any gener- ator output phase.

OM-2053 SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENT/TEST 1. General Adjustment and test procedures are most applicable to testing and adjusting the generator set after a ma- jor repair, replacement of parts, or overhaul. 2. Generator Set Test A. Pre-operational Test Procedures (1) Connect cables from the generator output terminals to a load bank. Use cables of the same size and length as those to be used in service.
Page 60
OM-2053 (2) Check operation of engine instruments: DC ammeter (14, Fig. 1) , coolant temperature indicator (18) , oil pressure gage (20) , and hourmeter (16) . (3) Check engine idle speed. Should be 825 to 875 RPM. Adjust, if necessary, in accordance with in- structions in Engine Operator’s Manual.
Page 61
OM-2053 (16) Release the switch (17) and allow it to return to the center ON position. The load contactor should open immediately, and the generator “on” indicating light should go OFF. This is because the plug interlock relay (Ref. 1-1; 1, Fig. 8) is not receiving power from an outside source of 28 V DC. It in- dicates that the plug interlock contacts are OPEN as they should be when the interlock coil is not re- ceiving 28-V DC power.
Page 62
OM-2053 (30) Check operation of the line switch (5) . A normal voltage of 115 V AC should be indicated when the switch is in LINE-TO-NEUTRAL position. A voltage of approximately 200 V AC should be indi- cated when the switch is placed in LINE-TO-LINE position. (31) Check accuracy of frequency meter.
Page 63
OM-2053 (c) If the load contactor is not opened at 103 V to 93 V, refer to the Trouble Shooting Chart, Sec- tion 3-1, to determine which component of the undervoltage protective circuit is defective. (d) If the undervoltage circuit performs satisfactorily, return the unit to normal operation by adjust- ing the voltage to 115 V, pressing the reset switch, and closing the load contactor.
