If the voltage rises above the generator over voltage percentage threshold set point value, then the over voltage timer will begin timing. When the timer expires, the generator over voltage event is made active if the voltage has been above the threshold level continuously while timing. If the voltage drops below the generator over voltage percentage threshold, then the generator over voltage event will be made inactive. The timer will be reset.
If an over voltage condition is detected, then "GEN OVERVOLTAGE SHUTDOWN" or "GEN OVERVOLTAGE WARNING" will be displayed on the EMCP 3. The message is used to inform the operator of an over voltage condition.
Note: The severity of the over voltage condition will determine if a warning or shutdown event occurs.
The code for generator over voltage is generated when the EMCP 3 determines that a generator over voltage condition has occurred.
Test Step 1. TALK TO THE OPERATOR.
- Determine the conditions that caused the over voltage condition.
Expected Result:
An over voltage was caused by an occurrence known to the operator and the operator would like to put the generator set back into service.
Results:
- OK - The operator can determine the cause for the over voltage condition. The condition has been repaired, and the operator wants to put the generator set back into service.
Repair: Reset the generator set. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.
STOP
- NOT OK - The over voltage condition was not caused by an occurrence that is known to the operator. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Test Step 2. CHECK THE SET POINTS.
- View the generator over voltage set points. Make a note of the set points. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, RENR7902, "Electronic Control Module (Generator Set) - Configure". Compare the set points against the default set points of the particular generator set.
Expected Result:
The set points are correct.
Results:
- OK - The set points are correct for your particular generator set.
Repair: Reset the generator set. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.
STOP
- NOT OK - The set points are NOT correct.
Repair: Reprogram the set points. Reset the generator set. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.
STOP
Test Step 3. VERIFY VOLTAGE CAN BE ADJUSTED.
Verify that the generator output voltage can be adjusted from the EMCP 3 display.
Expected Result:
The generator output voltage can be adjusted from the EMCP 3 display.
Results:
- OK - The generator output voltage can be changed from the EMCP 3 display.
Repair: Adjust the generator output voltage to meet site requirements. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.
STOP
- NOT OK - The generator output voltage cannot be adjusted. Proceed to test step 4.
Test Step 4. CHECK CAT DATA LINK BETWEEN THE EMCP 3 AND THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR.
Refer to the generator set electrical system schematic in the service manual. Check the data link wiring between the EMCP 3 and the voltage regulator. For more information on troubleshooting the data link, refer to Troubleshooting , RENR7902, "Data Link Circuit Fault ".
Results:
- OK - The data link wiring is correct.
Repair: Refer to the appropriate voltage regulator service manual and perform an operational check of the voltage regulator. Replace the voltage regulator if necessary. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.
STOP
- NOT OK - The wiring is not correct
Repair: Repair the data link wiring or replace the data link wiring. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.
STOP
