100D20 / Generator Sets
(10) Measure governor magnetic pickup signal, See Para. 4, E, (4), (b).
(11) Check high-speed limiting governor. Engine limiting speed governor should limit engine speed
to just below trip point of overspeed governor. Overspeed device should trip at 2400 RPM.
(12) Check adjustable voltage range in automatic operating mode.
a. Observe voltmeter (3, Fig. 1) and turn rheostat (35) CLOCKWISE to full clockwise position.
Maximum voltage should be at least 134 V AC, or higher.
NOTE: If voltage should decrease when the knob is turned clockwise, it indicates that internal wiring of the
voltage regulator is incorrect. Replace the complete regulator tray assembly.
b. Observe voltmeter and turn rheostat knob to full COUNTERCLOCKWISE position.
Minimum voltage should be 108 V AC, or lower.
(13) Observe voltmeter and adjust rheostat to obtain 115-V AC voltmeter reading.
(14) Check adjustable voltage range in manual operating mode.
a. Open the generator control tray (15, Fig. 1) and place the automatic manual switch (31) in
MANUAL position.
b. Observe voltmeter (3) and turn manual control rheostat (30) CLOCKWISE to full clockwise
position. Maximum voltage should be 160 V AC.
c. Observe voltmeter (3) and turn rheostat (30) to full COUNTERCLOCKWISE position.
Minimum voltage should be 95 V AC or less.
d. Adjust voltage to 115 V AC, then return automanual switch to AUTOMATIC position.
(15) Position load bank switches, etc., to apply a light load to the generator.
(16) Place the load contactor "on-off" switch (21, Fig. 1) in the top, spring loaded, CLOSE position.
Hold in this position momentarily. The indicating light (23) should glow GREEN and an
amperage value should appear on the DC ammeter (19) .
(17) Release switch (21) and allow to return to center ON position. Load contactor should open
immediately, and generator "on" indicating light should go OFF. This indicates that the plug
interlock contacts are OPEN as they should be when the interlock coil is not receiving 28-V DC
power.
(18) Open protective relay tray and place the test bank switch (32, Fig. 1) in TEST BANK position.
(19) Again place load contactor switch (21) in the top, CLOSE position. Light (23) should glow
GREEN and remain ON when the switch is released and allowed to return to the center ON
position. This indicates that the test bank switch (32) is functioning to by-pass the plug interlock
relay.
(20) Return the test bank switch to AIRCRAFT position. The load contactor should open at once
and the green indicating light (23) should go off.
(21) Connect a source of 24-V DC power (two 12-volt batteries connected in series) to terminals "N"
and "F" (or "E") at the output terminal panel. Polarity connection should be: MINUS to terminal
N and PLUS to terminal E or F.
(22) With test-bank switch in AIRCRAFT position, hold the contactor operating switch (21) in top,
CLOSE position momentarily. The generator "ON" indicating light (23) should glow GREEN
and remain ON when the switch is released and allowed to return to the center ON position.
This indicates that the load contactor is closed and the plug interlock relay is functioning
properly.
(23) Apply 1/3 to 1/2 load at the load bank and allow the unit to run for 15 to 30 minutes. Observe
operation of all monitoring instruments.
