Dual Exciter Model - Westerbeke 5.5 kw EDC 60 HZ Operator's Manual

5.0KW Be GENERATOR SINGLE PHASE
DUAL EXCITER CIRCUIT MODEL
These generators have dual Hertz and no-load voltage adjust-
ment 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 adjustments
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, #50 Hertz, 1500
RPM. The three other connectors at each capacitor, #7, #8,
and #9, will have an effect on the no-load voltage pro-
duced 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 voltage as illustrated below.

WARNING:
Capacitors must be discharged before
handling as they stol'l1electrlclty and can pack
a
poten-
tially lethal charge,liVen 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.

NOTE:
When changing Hertz produced by the generator, an
engine speed change must be made. This is done at the ECu.
The AC output connections on the terminal block must be
selectedfor the voltage and Hertz to be produced. the Hertz
connection (s) on the capacitor(s) changed and the ground
wire from the neutral of the AC terminal block moved to the
correct neutral terminal.
