5.0KW Be GENERATOR SINGLE PHASE
6.
12 volt DC excitation (low or no AC output voltage) the
generator may be excited using 12 volts DC taken from
the engine's starting battery. This voltage is applied
across the
#50
and
#9
leads of the exciter circuit wind-
ings with any other numbered leads unplugged from the
capacitors(s). The generator's reaction during flashing
will help determine its fault.
7. During 12 volt excitation, output voltage ranges are as
"follows:
Single
Capacitor
22 - 26VAC
Dual
Capacitor
24 - 28 VAC
Dual
Exciter
12 -14 VAC
a. A slight rise in the output voltage with the loading of
the engine and/or a growling noise from the generator
end will indicate a fault in the main stator windings.
b. No rise or very slight rise in the output voltage will
indicate a fault in the exciter windings.
c. Normal output voltage as specified above, check
exciter circuit capacitor(s).
