Engine (1) General The engine used in the Jet-Ex 4D generator set is a Perkins four-cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection diesel engine. It has a 236 cubic inch (3.86 liter) cylinder displacement and a 16:1 compression ratio. Engine firing order is 1-3-4-2.
OM-2063 / Operation and Maintenance Manual Jet-Ex 4D / Specs 7003A-3 and 7003B-3 / Generator Sets 7. Generator The generator (9, Figure 2) is a multi-phase, synchronous salient pole, revolving field, AC generator whose output is rectified. The output is rectified by a rectifier assembly (6) made up of twelve rectifiers connected into a full wave configuration.

Overvoltage module The overvoltage relay (2) is a solid-state protective device on a printed circuit board. A normally closed relay in the circuit is wired into the load contactor coil circuit. An overvoltage condition causes the relay contacts to open, which in turn prevents the contactor from closing, or opens the load contactor and discontinues the power delivery.
