On the above listed Gen Set, power looms can become damaged at various places between the generator and the breaker, either during assembly or during use in the field. Also, the insulation may become pulled back from the termination, resulting in an exposed copper braid.

1. Insulation exposing copper braid. Insulation may become exposed during assembly or shortly afterwards, as shown in Figure 1. This is addressed in the solution below.

2. Protection against chaffing/scratches. The loom insulation may become damaged due to chaffing and/or scratches, either at assembly or during re-configuration of the genset in the field. This is shown in Figure 2. This is addressed in the solution section below.

3. Loom termination fixing onto generator busbar. The insulation on the loom may come into contact between the generator busbar and the face of the loom terminal, as shown in Figure 3. This is addressed in the solution below.

4. Generator looms making contact with adjacent busbar. If there is excess length of the looms within the generator, it is possible that one loom may come into contact with an adjacent generator busbar. Over time, wear may occur, resulting in a short circuit between phases. See Figure 4. This is addressed in the solution section below.

1. Insulation exposing copper braid. To prevent the sleeving from moving, exposing the copper braid, follow the steps below:

Note: The turret mats should then similar to that shown in Figure 11.
