OPERATION START-UP The following procedure should be followed when starting the generator set for the first time. PRE-START INSPECTION The generator output must be disconnected from the Before starting the generator for the first time, the following load. Be sure that the main circuit breaker or fused inspection checks are recommended: disconnect is in the open position.
If the reading drops below the minimum, the generator should be cleaned and dried at an authorized service shop. Consult Marathon Electric for more information. TO MINIMIZE THE LIKELIHOOD OF ELECTRO- STATIC BUILDUP, DO NOT CLEAN OR WIPE...
Forced Air that the generator’s air gaps (main rotor and exciter) are free Another method to dry the generator is to run the set with no from obstructions. If possible, rotate the generator manually excitation (see startup procedure item #2). The natural flow of to ensure free rotation.
Insulation Test When the positive test probe is connected to the diode's anode and the negative test probe is connected to the diode's cathode (forward biased), the diode will switch on and Insulation resistance is a measure of the integrity of the conduct electricity (Figure 4).

Reassembly note: Before the bearing bracket is seated against the frame, a threaded rod may be used to help align the inner bearing cap with the bearing bracket. Failure to remove the exciter field leads from the automatic voltage regulator during flashing procedures may destroy the regulator.

WARNING HIGH VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT AT THE GENERATOR’S TERMINALS WHEN THE UNIT IS RUNNING. SOME ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS SPACE HEATERS MAY BE ENERGIZED FROM AN OUTSIDE POWER SOURCE WHEN THE UNIT IS AT REST. TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, CLOTHING AND YOUR BODY MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF ROTATING PARTS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.

GENERATOR PRODUCES LOW VOLTAGE WHEN LOAD APPLIED CAUSE CHECK AND REMEDY Excessive load Reduce load. The load on each leg should be evenly balanced, and rated current should not be exceeded on any leg. Large motor starting or low Motor starting currents are too large for the generator. When starting multiple motors, load power factor sequence the motors and start the largest motors first.
Page 22
Distorted voltage waveform Analyze load. Excessive SCR (thyristor) loading will cause distortion. Some equipment may be sensitive to distorted waveforms. Refer to Marathon Electric.. Improper generator voltage or frequency Check name plates of devices comprising the load. Compare required voltage and frequency with that of the generator.
