EXCITER
CIRCUIT
MODEL
These generators have dual Hertz and no-load voltage adjust-
ment connectors at each capacitor. There are five connectors
available
for
each capacitor.
Two
connectors are for Hertz
selection,
60
Hertz or 50 Hertz, and three connectors, #7, #8,
and
#9,
are
for no-load voltage adjustment.
When making Hertz change or no-load voltage adjustments
proceed
as
follows:
1.
Shut the generator down.
2.
Select the appropriate Hertz connection
to
plug into each
capacitor
#60, 60 Hertz, 1800 RPM or #50 Hertz, 1500
RPM.
The three other connectors at each capacitor, #7,
#8, and #9, will have
an
effect on the no-load voltage
produced
by
the generator. One connector from each
group can be plugged into each capacitor. No-load voltage
will
increase or decrease approximately 8 -
10
volts
between connectors used in any pair combination
to
. achieve the prescribed no-load voltage.

WARNING:
Make
certain
the
insulating
covers
on
the
unused
leads
are
in
'place
and
are
NOT
in
contact
with
each
other
or
in
contact
with
the
generator's
housing.
NOTE:
When changing Hertz produced by the generator; an
engine speed adjustment
at
the governor
must
be made.
The
AC
output connections on the terminal blocks
must
be
selected
for
the voltage and Hertz to be produced The
Hertz plug connection
at
the capacitor must be changed
for
50 Hertz (#5)
or
60 Hertz (#6). The frame ground wire
must
be moved when changing from
115
volts,
50
Hertz to
230 volts,
50
Hertz. Refer to the
AC
TERMINAL BOARD
CONNECTIONS.
3.
On later model BC generators, a
50HzJ60Hz
connection
is
provided for the DC battery circuit. When changing
hertz, connect the proper
lead (50Hz or 60Hz)
to
the
bridge rectifier.
