PROBABLE CAUSE
B. Defect in manual voltage
control portion
of excitation circuit
(1) Defective AUTO-
MANUAL switch (33,
Fig. 1)
(2) Defective rectifier
(CR 3) (Sect
1-1; 14, Fig. 7)
(3) Defective resistor
(R11) (See,
Fig. 2)
(4) Defective rheostat
(R61) (32,
Fig. 1)
A. In addition to defective
wiring and
connections in the AC
and DC load contactor
actuating circuits,
the load contactor
may be prevented from
closing for any one
of the following
reasons:
(1) Blown fuse (F1)
(1-1; 16, Fig. 8)

TEST, CHECK, AND/OR
REMEDY
A. Check as follows:
(1) Check contacts and oper-
ation of AUTO-MANUAL
switch. Replace if de-
fective.
(2) Jumper resistor (1, Fig.
2). If normal voltage
(depending on rheostat
setting) is produced,
replace resistor.
(3) Jumper resistor (1, Fig.
2). If normal voltage
(depending on rheostat
setting) is produced,
replace resistor.
(4) Connect a jumper across
rheostat. If maximum
(manual control) voltage
is produced, replace
rheostat.
A. After checking fuse (F1) in
step (1) below, check all
wiring and connections in
the load contactor circuits
on the engine control panel,
protective relay tray, and
power module. Then check
components as follows:
(1) Remove and inspect fuse.
Replace if blown.
