Gauge Reading - MQ Power WHISPERWATT DCA600SSV4F3 Operation Manual

HOW TO READ THE AC AMMETER
AND AC VOLTMETER GAUGES
The AC ammeter and AC voltmeter gauges are controlled
by the AC ammeter and AC voltmeter change-over switches.
Both of these switches are located on the control panel and
DO NOT affect the generator output. They are provided to
indicate how much power is being supplied at the UVWO
terminal lugs.
Before taking a reading from either gauge, configure the
voltage change-over board (Figure 19) to produce the
desired output voltage.

AC Voltmeter Gauge Reading
Place the AC voltmeter change-over switch (Figure 20)
in the WU position and observe the phase-to-phase voltage
reading between the W and U terminals as indicated on
the AC voltmeter gauge (Figure 21).

GAUGE READING

AC Ammeter Gauge Reading
Place the AC ammeter change-over switch (Figure 22) in
the U position and observe the current reading (load drain)
on the U terminal as indicated on the AC ammeter gauge
(Figure 23). This process can be repeated for terminals
V and W.

The ammeter gauge will only show a reading when the
output terminal lugs are connected to a load and in use.
