Page 15: Wet Stacking
PTI-25-30-T4F Operators Manual Wet Stacking Diesel engines are designed to operate with a load. When a diesel engine operates considerably below the rated output level the engine can start to over fuel or “wet stack”. Diesel engines perform moste efficiently at 70-80% of the rated output. When an engine operates for a prolonged period of time below 40% of its rated out it begins to over fuel. -

Page 22: Exciter Field Coil Voltage Source
PTI-25-30-T4F Operators Manual EXCITER FIELD COIL VOLTAGE SOURCE Field coil DC voltage is obtained by rectifying the voltage from the phase to neutral line of the generator output, or either appropriate terminal to provide the needed voltage reference. The rectifier bridge is an internal part of the static regulator. The static regulator senses a change in the generator output and automatically regulates current flow in the exciter field coil circuit to increase or decrease the exciter field strength. - Page 23 PTI-25-30-T4F Operators Manual Page 23 of 24...
