Section 7 Generator Reconnection
7.1 Voltage Reconnection
The reconnection procedure explains voltage
reconnections only. Adjust the governor and voltage
regulator at the time of frequency adjustment.
The following information illustrates the reconnection of
4-lead generator sets. In all cases, follow the National
Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.
Refer to the following procedure and the connection
schematics. Follow all the safety precautions and
instructions at the beginning of this manual and in the
text below while performing the reconnection
procedure.
Note: Order voltage reconnection decal 246242 and
affix the decal to the generator set after
reconnecting to a voltage different from the
nameplate.
Accidental starting.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect the battery cables before
working on the generator set.
Remove the negative (--) lead first
when disconnecting the battery.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last
when reconnecting the battery.
WARNING
Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can
cause severe injury or death. Before working on the
generator set or connected equipment, disable the generator
set as follows: (1) Move the generator set master switch to the
OFF position. (2) Disconnect the power to the battery charger.
(3) Remove the battery cables, negative (-- ) lead first.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the
battery. Follow these precautions to prevent starting of the
generator set by an automatic transfer switch, remote
start/stop switch, or engine start command from a remote
computer.
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
Moving rotor.
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible
whenever electricity is present. Open the main circuit
breakers of all power sources before servicing the equipment.
Configure the installation to electrically ground the generator
set, transfer switch, and related equipment and electrical
circuits to comply with applicable codes and standards. Never
contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water
or on wet ground because these conditions increase the risk of
electrocution.
Short circuits. Hazardous voltage/current can cause
severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily injury
and/or equipment damage. Do not contact electrical
connections with tools or jewelry while making adjustments or
repairs. Remove all jewelry before servicing the equipment.
