BC GENERATOR SINGLE PHASE
NOTE:
WESTER./JEKE r_ecommends that the following generator tests
and Cu:ljustnients be performed
by
a qualified technician.
DUAL EXCITER CIRCUIT MODEL
These generators have dual Hertz and no-load voltage
adjustment connectors at each capacitor. There are five
connectors available for each capacitor. Two connectors are
for
Hertz
selection,
60 Hertz
or
50 Hertz,
and
three
connectors, #7, #8, and
#9,
are for no-load voltage
adjustment.
When making Hertz-change or no-load voltage adjusunents
proceed
as follows:
1. Shut
the
generator down.
2.
Select the appropriate Hertz connection to plug into each
capacitor
#60, 60
Hertz,
1800 RPM
or
#50
Hertz,
1500
RPM.
The three other connectors at
each capacitor,
#7,
#8, and
#9,
will have an effect on the no-load voltage
produced
by
the generator. One connector from
each
group
can be
plugged into
each
capacitor. No-load voltage
will
increase or decrease approximately 8-10 AC volts
between connectors used in any pair combination to
achieve the prescribed no-load
volta~e
as illustrated.

GENERATOR BACK END
When changing Hertz produced by the generator,
reference the DC Wiring Diagram for the ECU P8
connection change.
The
AC output connections on the
terminal blocks must be selected for the voltage and Hertz to
be produced. The Hertz plug connection at the capacitor
must be changed for 50 Hertz (#5) or60 Hertz
(#6).
The
frame ground wire must be moved when changing from 115
volts, 50 Hertz to 230 volts, 50 Hertz.
A
WARNING:
Capacitors must be diScharged before
handling
as they
store electricity and can pack
a
poten·
tial/y lethal charge even when disconnected from their
power source.
NOTE:
Simply cross the capacitor's two terminals with
an
insulated (plastic handle) screwdriver. This will discharge
any
excess electricity.
Shore Power Connections
If the installer connects shore power to the vessel's AC cir-
cuit,
this
must be done by means of the Shore Power Transfer
Switch. Set the transfer switch shown
in
the diagrams to the
OFF
position. This switch prevents simultaneous connection
of shore power to generator output.
A
CAUTION:
Damage to the generator can result if
utility shore power and generator power are connected
at the same time. This type of generator damage is not
covered under the warranty;
it
Is the installer's responsi·
liflity to make sure all AC connections are correct.
