Usage:
Observe the safety precautions that follow and the instructions contained in this manual when installing, operating, testing and making repairs to this equipment.
De-energize generator set starting circuit before making repairs, connecting test instruments or removing or making connections to or within the voltage regulator. Dangerous voltages are present at the voltage regulator terminal boards and within the voltage regulator when the generator set is running. These include the sensing voltage, power to the voltage regulator and the voltage regulator output. Accidental contact with live conductors could result in serious electrical shock or electrocution. |
NOTICE |
---|
Regulator sensing circuit must never be opened while power is applied to the regulator input power terminals. Loss of sensing voltage will result in maximum regulator output. The voltage regulator dc output (terminals F+ and F-) must never be opened during operation. To do so will produce inductive arcing that could destroy the exciter or voltage regulator. Therefore, never place circuit breaker contacts or voltage shutdown switch in he exciter field circuit. |
NOTICE |
---|
Megger or high potential test equipment must not be used when testing the voltage regulator. Disconnect interconnecting conductors between the generator and voltage regulator when testing generator or exciter with megger or high potential test equipment. The high voltage developed by megger or high potential test equipment will destroy the solid state components within the voltage regulator. |
