GENERATOR
The air cooled generator produces 600Q,watts of direct current. The
voltage is either 115 or 230 volts, as indicated on the plant nameplate.
The
generator is directly coupled to the engine, the armature turning
at crankshaft speed. The generator field is compound wound and has two
interpole coils for better commutation. The generator\iS self-excited.
The armature is supported at the inner end by the engine rear ma:in bear-
ing, and at the outer end by a large ball bearing.
An extremely large commutator is mounted at the ball bearing end of the
armature. All generator windings are thoroughly impregnated with in-
sulating varnish and baked, to minimize the possibility of internal
short circuits. '
A
ce~trifugal weight type, gear driven governor controls the speed of
the engine, and so the output voltage of the generator. The normal
speed
is approximately 1800 r.p.m.
CONTROLS
Automatic or line transfer equipment is not available for the DC plants.
Pages 4 and 5 -'Delete the information under the subject WIRING, and
substitute the following information.
BATTERIES.- Two 6-volt batteries are connected in series by a short
jumper cable. Conne~t the cable which is attached to the start solenoid
switch to the remaining positive (+) post of the two batteries. Connect
the cable which is grounded on the cylinder head to the remaining nega-
tive (-) post. If the plant was boxed for export shipment, service the
batteries as directed on the tags attached to the batteries.
GROmmING.- If grounding is called for in local underwriters I codes, or
radio interference requires it, drive a 1/2
11
diameter pipe or rod into
the ground as ,close to the plant as is practicable. This pipe must pene-
trate moist ground. Fasten an approved ground clamp to this pipe, and
run a number 8
or larger insulated wire from the clamp to the negative
output terminal post on the plant. .
WIRING.- Observe any applicable underwriters' codes when connecting the
load wires to the plant. Use sufficiently large, insulated wire. The
size of the wire depends upon the distance and permissible voltage drop
between
the load and the plant, and the amount and kind' of the load.
Connect the positive wire of the main line to the positive ( .. ) DC OUTPUT
terminal located behind the control panei. Connect the negative wire of'
ttte main line to the negative (-) DC OUTPUT terminal. Some model plants
are equipped witJ::[ a duplex receptacle mounted upon the, control panel,
which may be used to connect a load not to exceed 15 amps. at 115 volts,
or 10 amps. at 230 volts for each outlet. If the plant is not equipped
with a circuit brefl;ker, install a switch in the main line as close to the
plant as is practicable.
