Alternator AC Lead Connections
The electrical wires in the unit's AC connection (lower)
panel should be installed according to number of leads
and voltage/phase required for the application. The
voltage and phase are described on the generator data
label. The number of lead wires can be identified using
the Specifications section and power output rating on the
generator data label. For example, if generator produces
130kW, 277/480 volt, three-phase power, generator has
12 alternator output leads.
stator power winding connection for the generator.
Four-Lead, Single-Phase Stator
See
Figure
8-1. Four-lead alternators are designed to
supply electrical loads with voltage code "A" (240V, 1-
phase, 60 Hz). Electrical power is produced in the stator
power windings. These windings were factory-connected
to the main circuit breaker as shown.

Three-Phase Alternators ("Y" Configuration)
The Stationary Emergency Generator is designed to
supply three-phase electrical loads. Electric power is
produced in the alternator power windings. These
windings were factory-connected to the main circuit
breaker with a "Y" configuration as shown in
through
Figure
8-6.
Rated voltage between circuit breaker terminals E1–E2,
E1–E3 and E2–E3 is 480V, 208V or 600V depending on
model.
Rated voltage between each circuit breaker terminal and
the neutral point 00 is 277V, 120V, or 346V depending on
model.
