WARNING
All specific cautions and warnings contained in this manual shall be strictly adhered to. Otherwise,
severe injury, death and/or damage to the equipment may result.
HIGH VOLTAGE
is produced when this generator set is in operation.
DEATH
or severe burns may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions. Do not operate this
generator set until the ground terminal stud has been connected to a suitable ground. Disconnect
the battery ground cable before removing and installing components on the engine or in the
electrical control panel system. Do not attempt to service or otherwise make any adjustments,
connections or reconnection of wires or cables until generator set is shut-down and completely
deenergized.
DANGEROUS GASES
Batteries generate explosive gas during charging; therefore, utilize extreme caution, do not smoke,
or use open flame in vicinity when servicing batteries. Exhaust discharge contains noxious and
deadly fumes. Do not operate generator sets in enclosed areas unless exhaust discharge is
properly vented to the outside. When filling fuel tank, maintain metal-to-metal contact between
filler nozzle and fuel tank. Do not smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity. Use extreme care,
should a selenium rectifier malfunction, to avoid inhalation of poisonous fumes.
LIQUIDS UNDER PRESSURE
are generated as a result of the generator set. Do not expose any part of the body to a high
pressure leak in the fuel or hydraulic system of the generator set. Relieve pressure from radiator
before removing radiator cap.
NOISE
operating level of this generator can cause hearing damage. Ear protectors, as recommended by
the medical or safety officer, must be worn when working near this set.
LIFTING
Do not allow personnel under or near generator set or equipment used in conjunction with
generator set when hoisting or lifting. Death or severe injury may result.

result.
HEAT
Do not allow personnel to open or close exhaust discharge door when unit is hot. Serious burns or
personal injury may result.
CAUTION
DAMAGE
to the equipment may result if personnel fail to observe the cautions contained in this manual. If
generator set is shutdown by the operation of a safety device, do not attempt to operate the unit
until the cause has been determined and eliminated.
WARNING
Hot refueling of generators while they are operating poses a safety hazard and should not be
attempted. Hot engine surfaces and sparks produced from the engine and generator circuitry are
possible sources of ignition. Severe injury, death to personnel and/or damage to the equipemnt
may result.
WARNING
Generator maintenance solvents (Methyl Ethyl Ketone and dry cleaning solvent) may prosent fire
and chemical hazards if used without proper precautions. Observe manufacturer’s warning labels
and the warnings and cautions in this manual. Ensure sufficient ventilation exists, protective
equipment is used, and sources of ignition are removed.

h. Wiring diagrams and schematics located in the manual, are valuable aids in troubleshooting. An
explanation of their use follows:
(1) Some of the wiring diagrams are too large for all the information to be included on a single sheet.
These are separated into more than one sheet. The sheets are numbered accordingly.
(2) individual wire numbers are shown at each item location. There is also a symbol that indicates where
that wire terminates. Some wires continue to another sheet; they are indicated as to the sheet it is continued to
or from.
(3) Both the ac and the dc systems are shown. All of the schematics are titled to aid in the identification
of functions.
(4) Further wire aids are included in some troubleshooting malfunctions and some maintenance
functions. These are all reflected in the schematics.
3. The intent of this new format is to provide you with a manual that will let you do your job quickly, easily and
with a minimum of confusion. The maintenance tasks in chapter 3 are arranged in modules. Each module
contains all the information you need to do a complete task. The illustrations associated with the task will be on
the same page or a facing page where possible, making it easy for you to match the illustrations with the text.

Section Ill. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
2-5. GENERAL.
a. The engine and generator are rigidly bolted together at the engine flywheel housing. This assembly is
mounted on the skid base at three points, the front engine trunnion and the two generator feet. Rotation and
cooling of the generator is accomplished by a blower and coupling disc assembly which is bolted to the engine
flywheel. This arrangement allows the engine and generator to be removed as an assembly or independently of
each other.
b. To remove the engine, it is first necessary to remove the radiator and shell assembly and disassemble the
front housing assembly, rear housing assembly, and relay table (including relay table components, see Section
XII, Chapter 3). Engine accessories may either be removed or remain on the engine during removal.
c. To remove the generator, remove the rear housing assembly with cooling grille as a single unit. The relay
table with the two side brackets can be removed as a unit by removing four bolts at base of side brackets and
disconnecting wiring harness. Prior to loosening the bolts which couple the generator housing to the engine
flywheel housing, the engine supporting bracket must be installed between the engine rear lifting bracket and
the center support assembly.
d. In rare cases, it maybe beneficial to remove the engine and generator as an assembly. To accomplish
this, the housing assembly must be disassembled completely (a combination of the disassembly of
sub-paragraphs b. and c. above) and the center support assembly removed. The lifting mechanism must be so
arranged as to support both the engine and the generator to avoid undue stress on the engine-generator
coupling.

3-7. SPEED SWITCH.
a. General.
(1)

The speed switch provides sequenced control of circuits during engine startup, and protection
against engine overspeed during operation. Three sets of contact elements, S9-1, S9-2, and S9-3,
contained in the speed switch, are set to open, close, or transfer at certain engine speeds. The
speed switch drive gear is designed to drive the speed switch at one-half engine speed.

(2)

At an engine speed of 580 to 620 rpm (accelerating) element S9-1 transfers two sets of contacts,
energizing the field flash circuit and de-energizing the crank relay to stop the starting motor.

(3)

On tactical precise sets, when the engine reaches the speed range of 1180 to 1220 rpm (50/60 Hz),
1650 to 1700 rpm (400 Hz), element S9-2 closes, energizing the electro–hydraulic governor which
takes over control of engine speed.

(4)

Speed switch element S9-3 consists of two sets of contacts which are set to transfer at an engine
speed of 2425 ± 25 rpm to shut down the engine and prevent damage to the equipment. Shutdown is
achieved by de-energizing the stop-run relay and the fuel solenoid, cutting off fuel to the engine.

(5)

Elements S9-1 and S9-2 reset at 100 rpm (decreasing) below actuation speed. Element S9-3 is
manually reset by a pushbutton on the speed switch housing.

(2) Attach the connector and cable to J37 of the speed switch.
(3) Connect 24 volts dc to pins E, G and I with the polarity indicated in the test circuit.
(4) Using the VOM, test for the conditions listed below:
Element No. 1:
Pins A & B . . . . . . . . . . . continuity
Pins A & C. . . . . . . . . . . open circuit
Element No. 2:
Pin D . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 volts dc to ground
Element No. 3:
Pins F & J . . . . . . . . . . . open circuit
Pin H . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 volts dc to ground
(5) Connect the VOM to read continuity between pins A and B.
(6) Slowly bring up shaft speed of the tester. At 290 to 310 rpm Element No. 1 should trip causing an
open circuit to appear between pins A and B.
(7) After Element 1 has tripped, check with the VOM for continuity between pins A and C.
(8) Proper tripping of Element No. 1 is indicated by meeting the conditions of steps (4), (6) and (7).
(9) Connect the VOM to read voltage on pin D with respect to ground.
(10) Slowly increase the tester shaft speed while monitoring the VOM. When Element No. 2 trips, the
reading will go from 0 volts to 24 volts. Trip speed for Element No. 2 (50/60 Hz) is 590 to 610 rpm.
Trip speed for Element No. 2 (400 Hz) is 825 to 850 rpm.
(11) Continue increasing shaft speed while monitoring pin H for voltage. It should be at 24 volts, dropping
to 0 volts when the third element trips. Trip speed for Element No. 3 is 1200 to 1225 rpm.

3-33

ARMY TM 9-6115-464-34
AIR FORCE TO 35C2-3-445-2
NAVY NAVFAC P-8-624-34
(12) After Element No. 3 has tripped, connect the VOM between pins F and J to check for continuity.
Continuity should exist after Element No. 3 has tripped.
(13) Slowly decrease shaft speed while monitoring pin D with the VOM for voltage. There should be 24
volts present, dropping to 0 volts when Element No. 2 resets. “Reset speed” for Element No. 2
should be no more than 100 RPM below the trip speed noted in step (10).
(14) Continue decreasing shaft speed while measuring for continuity between pins A and C with the VOM.
Continuity should exist between these two pins until Element No. 1 resets, then an open circuit
should exist. Reset speed for Element No. 1 should be no more than 100 rpm below the trip speed
noted in step (6).
(15) Decrease shaft speed to 0 rpm. Monitor pin H for voltage with the VOM. Element No. 3 should still
remain in the tripped condition, resulting in 0 volts on pin H, and continuity between pins F and J.
(16) Depress and release the reset switch, S1, on the speed switch. Pin H should now read 24 volts on
the VOM, and an open circuit should exist between pins F and J.
NOTE
There are no repair or adjustment procedures for the electronics and base assemblies.
If this portion of the speed switch is malfunctioning, replace both assemblies as a unit.

(1)

Connect a variable speed drive device to the speed switch drive. The drive device must have a
tachometer in order to determine the speed of the device in rpm’s.

(2)

With an ohmmeter on the R1 scale, reading from the speed switch connector, check for the contact
conditions of elements S9-1, S9-2, and S9-3 illustrated in figure 3-16, sheet 2.

(3)

When contact conditions are verified, as shown in figure 3-16 sheet 2, start variable drive and
gradually increase speed, with ohmmeter connected to pins B and A. At a speed of 290 rpm the
ohmmeter should indicate that contact A-B opens. Hold the variable speed drive at that speed and
transfer the ohmmeter leads to pins A and C. The ohmmeter should indicate a closed contact.

(4)

Leave the ohmmeter leads connected to pins A and C and gradually reduce speed. In the range of
190 to 210 rpm, the contacts of element S9-1 should reset to the condition illustrated in figure 3-16,
sheet 2. To verify operation of element S9-1 contacts A and C, increase drive speed gradually and
observe that the contacts close in the 290 to 310 rpm range.

(5)

Connect ohmmeter leads across pins D and E and verify an open circuit. Increase drive speed and
observe that element S9-2 (contacts D and E) closes in the speed range of 590 to 610 rpm (Mode l),
825 to 850 rpm (Mode II). Gradually reduce speed to 490 minimum rpm (Mode l), 725 minimum rpm
(Mode II). Observe that element S9-2 resets to the condition shown in figure 3-16, sheet 2.

(6)

Connect ohmmeter across pins H and G and verify a closed circuit. Increase drive speed gradually.

Section Il. MAINTENANCE OF ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
3-15. GENERAL.
Fuel for generator set operation is supplied from either the integral main fuel tank or an auxiliary source as
determined by the fuel selector valve. Fuel is pumped through the strainer and filter assembly and fuel solenoid
valve into the day tank by two electrically driven fuel transfer pumps. The day tank fuel level and low fuel cutoff
switch controls the operation of the fuel transfer pumps and the fuel solenoid valve. Fuel from the day tank is
drawn through the secondary fuel filter assembly by the fuel injection pump. This single cylinder, opposed
plunger, inlet metering type pump forces a metered amount of fuel under high pressure and in timed sequence
to the fuel injection nozzle holders in the engine cylinder head. The nozzle holders spray a metered amount of
fuel into each combustion chamber. Unused fuel is returned to the day tank through the fuel return line.

measuring the length (0.538 inches minimum).

CAUTION
Do not handle the rotor shank. Do not force the plungers into their bore. Failure to
observe this caution could result in equipment damage.
(3)

While holding the rotor under fuel, insert the plungers into their bore. With thumb and forefinger over
the guide slots, tilt the rotor from side to side several times to insure complete freedom of movement
of the plungers. Interchanging or reversing their individual positions may be necessary, as these are
mated parts. Replace defective parts. If plungers are not visibly damaged, clean them with a soft
brush and a lacquer removing solvent such as lacquer thinner or acetone.

(4)

Examine the radii of the rotor which is contacted by the leaf springs, and the weight retainer for wear.
Check all slots, charging and discharge parts of the hydraulic head for chipping or erosion of edges.
Check the rotor shank for scratches.
NOTE
The rotor and hydraulic head are matched parts and shall be replaced as a unit.

Section Ill. MAINTENANCE OF ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
3-26. GENERAL.
The engine cooling system is a circulating pressure type system. It consists of a radiator, a belt driven
cooling fan and centrifugal water pump, a coolant control thermostat, a thermostatically controlled shutter
assembly, and a protective grille. The water pump receives coolant from the lower radiator hose and circulates
it through the engine cylinder block and cylinder head. As it circulates through the engine, the coolant absorbs
heat generated by engine operation. When the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the coolant
control thermostat opens and the coolant returns to the radiator through the upper radiator hose. As the heated
coolant circulates through the radiator, the cooling fan blows air through the radiator air passages which
dissipates the heat. The shutter assembly blocks the flow of cooling air until the coolant in the radiator reaches
normal engine operating temperature.

Section IV. MAINTENANCE OF ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
3-34. GENERAL.
The engine oil pan serves as a reservoir for lubricating oil. It is equipped with a bayonet type gauge for
checking the oil level in the pan. Oil is drawn into a gear type, positive displacement pump through a screen
which prevents the entry of coarse abrasives. The oil pump forces the oil through a full flow type oil filter, which
removes minute abrasives. From the oil filter the oil flows into the header, a drilled passage in the cylinder
block, from which it is distributed to the internal engine components. A pressure transmitter measures oil
pressure in the header and transmits it electrically to the oil pressure gauge. Header oil pressure is also
measured by a low oil pressure switch which shuts down the engine if oil pressure falls to a dangerously low
level.
3-35. LUBRICATION OIL FILTER.
Refer to the Operator and Unit Maintenance Manual for lubrication oil filter maintenance procedures.
3-36. OIL LEVEL GAUGE.

Section V. MAINTENANCE OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
(ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC GOVERNOR EQUIPPED PRECISE SETS ONLY)
3-39. GENERAL.
The hydraulic system provides a means of precise frequency control on all MEP-103A and some
MEP-113A precise generator sets. The system consists of a sump, a replaceable element type filter, a gear
type positive displacement pump and a hydraulic actuator unit. The hydraulic pump draws oil from the sump
and forces it through the filter. From the filter, the oil flows to the hydraulic actuator unit. An electrically
controlled set of valves alters the path of the oil which determines the positioning of the governor control
linkage. The position of the governor control linkage determines the fuel pump governor setting, which sets
engine speed. Changes in engine speed causes a corresponding increase or decrease in generator output
frequency.

Section VI MAINTENANCE OF INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS AND BREATHER
344. GENERAL.
a. The intake system consists of a dry type air cleaner assembly with a reusable type filter element. The
assembly removes dust and dirt from the engine combustion air. It is equipped with a restriction transducer. The
restriction transducer measures vacuum in the air cleaner housing. When the filter element becomes sufficiently
clogged that the vacuum begins to impair engine performance, the restriction transducer transmits an electrical
impulse to the air cleaner condition indicator on the engine control panel.
b. The exhaust system consists of a muffler assembly. The system muffles the noise of engine operation
and provides a means of expelling exhaust fumes from the generator set. The exhaust pipe end of the muffler
assembly is fitted with a rain cap which prevents the entry of foreign material when the engine is not operating.
c. The breather system provides an escape for gases which accumulate in the engine crankcase during
engine operation. The gases pass through the breather which traps oil vapors, and is drawn into the engine air
cleaner housing through the breather tube.
3-45. AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY.
Refer to the Operator and Unit Maintenance Manual for air cleaner assembly maintenance procedures.
3-46. EXHAUST PIPE AND MUFFLER.
Refer to the Operator and Unit Maintenance Manual for exhaust pipe and muffler maintenance procedures.

MAINTENANCE

OF

ENGINE

ASSEMBLY

3-48. GENERAL.
a. The engine assembly is a four cylinder, four cycle, fuel injected, compression ignition, liquid cooled diesel
engine. The assembly consists of the cylinder head, rocker arm assembly, timing gears and housing, camshaft,
flywheel and flywheel housing, main bearings and crankshaft, piston and connecting rod assembly, and cylinder
block.
b. The cylinder head is a one piece casting and is detachable. Valve seats are part of the casting, but valve
guides are removable.
c. The rocker arm assembly is mounted on the cylinder head. It functions to open and close the valves.
d. The timing gears determine the sequence of valve opening and fuel injection. The gears are enclosed in a
housing, the cover of which contains the front crankcase oil seal.
e. The cam shaft actuates the rocker arm assembly which operates the valves. It is driven by a gear which
meshes with the crankshaft gear.
f. The flywheel is made of cast iron. It is machined to accommodate the coupling disc of the generator
assembly. The flywheel is attached to the crankshaft by six bolts, one of which is off center. This permits the
flywheel to be installed in only one position for timing purposes. The flywheel housing serves as a cover for the
rear of the cylinder block and oil pan and as a partial enclosure for the flywheel. It provides the mounting for the
starter assembly and also contains the rear crankshaft seal.
g. The crankshaft has five main bearing journals and four connecting rod bearing journals. This arrangement
places each connecting rod journal between two main bearing journals. All bearing journals are surface
hardened and are drilled for oil passages.

h. The connecting rods are heavy alloy steel forgings with precision type bearings for the crankshaft and
bronze bushings for the full floating piston pin. The pistons are made of aluminum and are the solid type (no
saw slots or splits in the skirt). Each piston is fitted with five rings. The top three rings are compression type and
the fourth ring from the top is an oil control ring. The fifth ring is an oil scrapper ring.
i. The cylinder block and crankcase are cast as a single unit giving ridged support for the crankshaft. Cooling
is obtained by water jacketing the entire length of the block. When installed in the generator set, the block is
supported by the front engine support with rear support supplied through ridged coupling to the generator
assembly housing.

Section Vlll. MAINTENANCE OF GENERATOR SET CONTROLS
3-58. GENERAL.
This section contains maintenance instructions for the generator set controls. The control cubicle assembly and
sensing monitors contain the controls, instruments and indicators for controlling and monitoring the operation of
the generator set. Precise models of the generator set incorporate a governor control unit which signals the
actuator unit to change the fuel injection pump governor setting which controls engine speed and, thus,
generator frequency. This function is assumed by the manual speed control on utility models. The
interconnecting wiring harnesses provide electrical connection between major assemblies and the control
cubicle and fault locating indicator.

d. Testing and Repair.
NOTE
Disconnect leads to components prior to testing to avoid erroneous readings.
(1) Test individual components using figure 3-66 as a guide and perform the following steps:
(a) Using a VOM, check for continuity between the following test points of transformer T1, figure 3-66:
TP1 and TP2, TP8 and TP9, TP15 and TP16, TP5 and TP6, TP6 and TP7, TP5 and TP7, TP12
and TP13, TP13 and TP14, TP12 and TP14, TP19 and TP20, TP20 and TP21, and TP19 and
TP21.
(b) If continuity is not indicated in all of the above checks and open circuit exists in the transformer
windings, replace transformer (25, figure 3-64).
NOTE
Continuity of secondary windings of transformer T1 can be checked by using pins K
and A, L and B, and M and C of plug P7 if desired. This method could show continuity
if the connector P7 is faulty, even though the transformer has an open winding.
(c) Using a VOM, check for open circuit indications (infinity) between the following test points of
transformer T1, figure 4-13; TP1 and TP5, TP1 and TP6, TP1 and TP7, TP2 and TP5, TP2 and
TP6, TP2 and TP7, TP8 and TP12, TP8 and TP13, TP8 and TP14, TP9 and TP12, TP9 and TP13,
TP9 and TP14, TP15 and TP19, TP15 and TP20, TP15 and TP21, TP16 and TP19, TP16 and
TP20,TP16 and TP21, TP7 and TP12,TP14 and TP19, TP2 and TP8, TP9 and TP15.
(d) If continuity is indicated in any of the above checks, replace the transformer (25, figure 3-64).
(e) Using a VOM, check diodes (1 through 6, figure 3-66). Check diode CR1 by placing the positive
probe of the VOM on TP3 and the negative probe on TP5. The VOM should indicate continuity.
Reverse the probes: the VOM should indicate open circuit. If the diode fails either of these tests,
replace the diode (26, figure 3-64).
(f) Check the remaining diodes, CR2 through CR6 using the same procedure. Replace any diodes
found to be defective.
(2)

Install load measuring unit in the test circuit shown in figure 3-67.

(3)

Remove load measuring unit cover.

(4)

3-64. ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC GOVERNOR CONTROL UNIT.
a. General.
(1)

The electro-hydraulic governing system is a speed (frequency) sensing system used to maintain
prime mover speed constant and therefore generator output frequency, during periods of unchanging
load and when load additions or deletions occur.

(2)

The system consists of a control unit, load measuring unit and hydraulic throttle actuating unit.

(3)

The control unit inputs are the generator output voltage, and a dc voltage (O-9.8 Vdc) proportional to
the generator load, supplied by the load measuring unit. The generator voltage input is applied to a
frequency sensing network and reference voltage network. The differential output of these two
networks determines the control current of two magnetic amplifiers whose outputs drive separate
coils of the hydraulic actuators pilot valve. The actuator pilot valve positions the actuator power
piston which is connected to the input arm of the fuel injection pump. The actuators hydraulic system
is comprised of a reservoir, engine driven pump (300-320 psi, 2 gpm), cooler and filter.

(4)

Any deviation of engine speed, reflected as a change in frequency at the input of the governor,
produces a change in the magnitude and direction of magnetic amplifier control field current. This
change in control field current will increase the strength of one coil of the pilot valve while decreasing
the strength of the other. The resultant difference repositions the pilot valve in turn repositioning the
power piston which changes the output of the fuel injection pump, changing engine speed and
consequently restoring generator frequency to its nominal value.

(5)

The load measuring units (LMU) input to the governor control provides for automatic load sharing
when two or more sets are operated in parallel. Each set is equipped with an LMU.

(6)

If the load added to the system is not equally divided, the LMU inputs to their respective governors
will differ. The resulting difference acting through additional windings of each sets governor (which
are connected in parallel) will reposition each sets actuator power piston such that fuel flow in the
more lightly loaded set is increased. Since the power input of each prime mover has been
readjusted, equal division of true power (Kw) occurs with no deviation in frequency of any set.

b. MaIfunction. The following procedures are to be performed in the generator set unless otherwise
specified.

3-157

ARMY TM 9-6115-464-34
AIR FORCE 35C2-3-445-2
NAVY NAVFAC P-8-624-34
(1)

If the FL-NL or NL - FL transient exceeds 1-1/2 percent of rated speed and/or does not
reestablish stable engine operating conditions within one second, realign the control unit in
accordance with paragraph 3-64j. Also follow this procedure if the engine speed hunts. If the set
cannot be stabilized, check sockets A and B of plug P-21 (figure 3-97) for 24 Vdc (A is positive).

(2)

If the engine speed increases to above nominal operating speed, check sockets A and B of P-17
(figure 3–97) for 120 Vac. If it is missing, troubleshoot the generator set wiring. Refer to schematic
and troubleshooting diagram plates located on inside of left and right engine compartment doors
(figure 3-97). If it is present, check the resistance of the frequency adjusting circuit consisting of R4
(250 ohms) rheostat R1 frequency adjust (500 ohms) and R6 (250 ohms) fixed resistor. Measure the
total circuit resistance across N and T of harness plug PI 7 (figure 3-97). The circuit resistance
should be 1000 ohms (5 percent tolerance). After testing for correct total resistance, test the
operation of the frequency adjust rheostat by connecting an ohmmeter across pins M and T and
revolving the frequency adjust rheostat through its entire travel. The resistance should vary from 750
ohms to 250 ohms. Repeat this procedure using the ohmmeter across pins M and N of the harness
plug. If the problem persists, check sockets A and B of plug P-21 (figure 3-97) for 24 Vdc (A is
positive).

(3)

If the engine speed remains below the nominal operating speed, adjust RI. If there is no
improvement, check the resistance of the frequency adjust circuit. Disconnect P–17 and check the
resistance of the frequency adjust circuit consisting of R4 (250 ohms) fixed resistor, RI frequency
adjust rheostat (500 ohms) and R5 (250 ohms, 5 percent) fixed resistor. Measure the total circuit
resistance across N and T of harness plug P-17. The circuit resistance should be 1000 ohms (5
percent tolerance). After testing for correct total resistance, test the operation of the frequency adjust
potentiometer by connecting an ohmmeter across pins M and T and revolving the travel. The
resistance should vary from 750 ohms to 250 ohms. Repeat this procedure using the ohmmeter
across pins M and N of the harness plug. Disconnect actuator electrical connector before making this
measurement. Push actuator piston all the way down and adjust engine speed with manual throttle.
If this value resistance is measured, check sockets A and Bat plug P–21 for 24 Vdc (A is positive).

(4)

If the set is operating at a constant load and voltage and during an eight–hour period the change in
ambient temperature does not exceed 60°F, the set frequency should not drift beyond 1/2 of one
percent of rated frequency. The above requirement assumes that the set temperatures were
stabilized at the initial and final ambient temperatures.
NOTE
If the drift in paragraph (4) is excessive, realign the control unit following the procedure
outlined in paragraph 3-64j.

(5)

At constant ambient temperature, constant load, constant voltage and constant barometric pressure,
the set frequency should remain within a bandwidth of 1 percent of rated frequency for a period of 4
hours. If this bandwidth has been exceeded, realign the control unit in accordance with paragraph
3-64j.

(6)

If the preceding solutions to the specific problem do not resolve the problems, replace and repair the
control unit, actuator (paragraph 3-43) or load measuring unit (paragraph 3–63) as required.

c. Removal.
(1) Tag and disconnect electrical connectors to governor control unit.
(2) Remove nuts (1, figure 3-68), Iockwashers (2), nuts (3), Iockwashers (4) and bracket (5), threaded
rod (6) and lift governor control unit from mounting bracket.

Place the container in a temperature controlled oven. Set the oven temperature at +180 to + 185°F
(+82.2°C to +85°C) and allow the container to soak 11 to 12 hours or until potting compound is
completely melted.

(4)

Prior to installing the printed circuit board, remove the container from the oven and make sure that
insulation paper is positioned next to the container shell.

(5)

Using heavy gloves and safety glasses, slowly lower the printed circuit board into the potting
compound.
WARNING
Use care not to splash hot potting compound on operating personnel. It can cause
severe injury. Failure to observe this warning could result in servere personal injury or
death.

(6)

Position the printed circuit board and allow compound to cool.

(7)

When compound has cooled and is substantially solid, install top cover and hardware.

i. Installation

(2) Position governor control unit to install threaded rod (6, figure 3-68), bracket (5), Iockwashers (4),
nuts (3), Iockwashers (2) and nuts (1).
(3) Connect electrical connectors to governor control unit and untag.

NOTE
Desired speeds must be obtained by trial and error adjustments of linkage, position of
control arm and performing the alignment procedures in paragraph 3-64j.
j. Alignment Procedure. See figure 3-83 for identification of controls and perform the following procedures.
(1) Set R11, R14, R16 and R18 rheostats at mid-point.
(2) Set R15 full counterclockwise.
(3) Set R12 approximately 3/4 turn counterclockwise.
(4) Refer to Unit Maintenance Manual and start engine. If engine oscillates rapidly, adjust R16 and R18
until operation is stable.
(5) Once set has been stabilized, adjust R1 rheostat on control panel to obtain 60 Hz or 400 Hz.
(6) Connect a dc voltmeter with 0-10 volt range across test points 3 and 4. Test point 4 is positive.
Adjust R14 until voltage across test points 3 and 4 is zero at no load.

3-180

ARMY TM 9-6115-464-34
AIR FORCE TO 35C2-3-445-2
NAVY NAVFAC P-8-624-34
(7) Connect dc voltmeter across test points 1 and 2. Test point 1 is positive. Adjust R11 for zero volts at
60 Hz or 400 Hz at no load. Repeat adjustment until voltage across test points 1 and 2 and 3 and 4
is zero and frequency is 60 Hz or 400 Hz.

NOTE
If test points 1 and 2 cannot be zeroed, they must be reduced to a minimum,
(8) Adjust R12 to give approximately 5 volts across test points A and B.
(9) Adjust R15 for optimum transient performance. Fully clockwise position is maximum load
measurement gain.
(10) Set R18 and R16 for stabilized performance at all load conditions. For optimum performance R18
should be set as far counterclockwise as possible without causing an oscillation for any setting of
R15.
(11) Increasing the load measurement gain R15 (turning in a clockwise direction) will improve transient
performance; therefore, it should be adjusted as high as possible. The adjustment of R18, R16, and
R15 are interdependent. For any position of R18, there is an optimum position for R16. Therefore, to
improve transient performance, increase the frequency gain by turning R18 clockwise. If a hunt
develops, readjust R16 for stability. If no hunt develops, apply and reject load to check for stability
under transient conditions.

3-65. ELECTRIC GOVERNOR CONTROL UNIT (MEP-113A).
a. General.
(1) The electric governing system is a speed (frequency) sensing system used to maintain constant
engine speed and generator output frequency during periods of unchanging load and when load
additions or deletions occur. The system consists of a control unit, magnetic pickup and an electric
throttle actuating unit. The engine speed signal is obtained from a magnetic pickup mounted in the
flywheel housing in close proximity to the flywheel ring gear. The frequency of the pickup signal is
proportional to engine speed. Figure 3-85 shows the functional theory of operation.
(2) The control unit has four distinct circuits: pickup signal amplifier, frequency reference oscillator,
phase comparator and output circuit.
(a)

The frequency reference oscillator is voltage controlled. The frequency setting is adjusted by
applying zero to 10 volts at the frequency reference oscillator input. The internal frequency adjust
provides this voltage setting when the control unit is in operation. The reference oscillator does not
maintain a constant frequency. It deviates from its nominal frequency as the engine speed changes
during load changes. The reference oscillator is forced by the phase comparator to track the
amplified pickup signal representing engine speed. The voltage representing speed error is the
amount of voltage required to drive the reference oscillator off frequency in proportion to the engine
speed deviation.

(b)

The phase comparator circuit receives signals from the pickup signal amplifier and the reference
frequency oscillator and compares the difference in frequency. The phase comparator measures
the amount the engine signal is ahead or behind the reference oscillator signal. Its voltage output is
used to force the reference oscillator to the same frequency as the signal from the engine. The
phase comparator output is proportional to the speed error. The gain control is used to couple the
phase comparator output to the reference oscillator. By increasing the coupling, a small voltage
change from the phase comparator represents a large frequency change and vice-versa.

(c)

The output circuit allows governing by introducing a temporary drop during a load change for
stability purposes. It has an adjustable means to control the magnitude and time constant of the
drop to match the dynamic characteristics of the engine. The output current switching portion of the
circuit provides current to drive the actuator. The output transistor is switched on and off at a
frequency of 200 Hz. This is above the natural frequency of the actuator. The actuator responds to
the average current from the transistor and moves in proportion to position the engine throttle. The
output transistor is switched on and off to reduce power dissipation.

b. Malfunction.
The following procedures are to be performed with the governor control unit in the generator set.
(1)

Connect the breakout cable (7, figure 3-86) as follows: Disconnect P17 (6) from J17(1), connect
P17A(7) to J17(1), connect J17A(7) to P17(6).

(2) Using a digital voltmeter, make the voltage readings in table 3-7 at the breakout cable plug. All
readings are measured between the terminal and ground. Terminals F, G, H and T are ground.
c. Removal.
(1) Disconnect electrical connector P17 (1, figure 3-86).
(2) Remove 4 hex head screws (2), Iockwashers (3) and nuts (4).
(3) Remove the governor control unit (5).
d. Installation
(1) Position governor control unit (5, figure 3-86).

AIR FORCE TO 35C2-3-445-2
NAVY NAVFAC P-8-624-34
(2) Install nuts (4), Iockwashers (3), 4 hex head screws (2).
(3) Connect electrical connector P17 (1).
e. Adjustment Procedure
(1)

Disconnect the actuator linkage rod from the engine fuel shutoff lever.

(2)

Place the generator set START-RUN- STOP switch (located on the generator set control panel) in
the RUN position.

(3)

Place the generator set BATTLE SHORT SWITCH (located on the generator set control panel) in the
ON (override) position.

(4)

Beginning at the fully counterclockwise position, rotate the engine fuel shutoff lever in a clockwise
direction until a slight resistance is felt: hold the lever in this position.

NOTE
This resistance is the fuel injection pump’s internal governor linkage hook engaging the
metering valve arm.
(5)

Move the actuator lever to the “full fuel” position. This is the direction against the spring resistance
(fully counterclockwise).

(6)

Measure the center to center distance between the hole in the fuel shutoff lever and the hole in the
actuator lever. Adjust the rod ends on the threaded linkage rod so that the center to center distance
of the rod ends is the same or slightly longer than that measured between the fuel shutoff lever and
the actuator lever. (The 3.75 dimension is only approximate. If the linkage is too short, the actuator
lever will attain its “no fuel” position (full clockwise) before the fuel shutoff lever reaches its “no fuel”
position; the fuel shutoff lever will never reach “no fuel”. If the linkage is too long, the actuator lever
will reach its “full fuel” (full counterclockwise) before the fuel shutoff lever reaches its "fuII fuel”
position; full load will not be reached). It maybe necessary to readjust the position of the fuel shutoff
lever and/or the actuator lever to accommodate the center to center distance of the rod ends and to
assure complete fuel shutoff and full load operation. Fuel shutoff and actuator lever adjustments are
covered under replacement procedures. Tighten the nuts on the linkage rod against the rod ends to
maintain proper spacing.

(7)

Return the generator set START-RUN- STOP switch to the STOP position and the BATTLE SHORT
switch to the OFF position.

(8)

Reconnect the actuator linkage rod end to the engine fuel shutoff lever.

(9)

Adjust the control unit gain control to its approximate mid–range position.

(10) Adjust the control unit stability control to its fully counterclockwise position.
(11) Adjust the generator set frequency adjust potentiometer (pot) (located on the generator set control
panel) to mid-range.
(12) Using a small screwdriver, slowly turn the control unit frequency adjust potentiometer (located on the
left side vertical face of the control unit) to the fully counterclockwise position (turn opposite increase
arrow). This may require up to 22 turns. The generator set will now be operating at the lowest
possible engine governed speed.

NOTE
Two people will be required to adjust the control unit. Ensure that the actuator linkage
rod and all levers are securely fastened and move freely (without binding) before
operating the engine. Manually overcome the actuator until adjustment of the control
unit is completed and the governor is in control. Adjustment of the control unit will be
made with the engine operating in a no–load condition.
(13) Start the engine, manually operating the fuel shutoff lever.
(14) Turn the control unit frequency adjust screw clockwise until the proper engine speed is obtained.
Several turns may be required. The generator set frequency adjust pot should now have sufficient
adjustment travel to cause the generator set frequency meter to indicate beyond both of its extreme
limits (388-412 Hz).

(15) If the engine is unstable as indicated by continuous movement of the actuator lever, turn the control
unit gain control counterclockwise until stability is obtained as indicated by a stationary actuator
lever. Readjust the control unit frequency adjust screw to the proper engine speed.
(16) Turn the control unit gain control clockwise until the engine becomes just unstable; back the gain
control counterclockwise until the engine is again stable.
(17) Turn the control unit stability control clockwise until the engine becomes just unstable; back the
stability control counterclockwise until the engine is again stable.

NOTE
The governor is now set to a nominally good operating point.
(18) Adjust control unit gain, stability and frequency under various load conditions and load changes to
obtain the desired governing characteristics.
(19) When the electric governor system is properly adjusted, the locknuts on the control unit gain and
stability controls should be tightened.

Section IX. MAINTENANCE OF INTERCONNECTING WIRING HARNESSES
3-68. GENERAL.
The interconnecting wiring harnesses provide electrical interconnection between generator set control
devices and the control cubicle assembly. Each interconnecting wiring harness consists of connectors,
terminals, and wires. The wires of each harness are strapped together to conserve space, prevent unnecessary
movement, and provide ease of removal and installation. Wiring harnesses which are internal to an assembly
are not covered in this section. Refer to the maintenance paragraph for the assembly for internal wiring harness
repair procedures.

Section X. MAINTENANCE OF CONVENIENCE AND PARALLELING RECEPTACLES
AND WIRING HARNESS
3-79. GENERAL.
a. All models of the generator set are equipped with a 125 volt, 15 amp convenience receptacle. The
receptacle is equipped with a spring loaded weather cover and protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.
b. The paralleling receptacles permit interconnection of the voltage regulator assemblies of two or more
generator sets for parallel operation. They are part of the convenience and paralleling receptacles wiring
harness.
3-80. CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER.
Refer to the Operator and Unit Maintenance Manual for convenience receptacle and circuit breaker
maintenance instructions.
3-81. CONVENIENCE AND PARALLELING RECEPTACLES WIRING HARNESS.
a. Refer to the Operator and Unit Maintenance Manual for convenience and paralleling receptacles wiring
removal, cleaning, inspection, and repair instructions.
b. If the wiring harness has sustained damage and requires repair or rebuild, refer to figure 3–99 for layout,
identification, and material requirements and Appendix A for detailed soldering and replacement procedures.
c. Refer to the Operator and Unit Maintenance Manual for installation instructions for the wiring harness.

Section Xl. MAINTENANCE OF LOAD CONNECTION GROUP
3-82. GENERAL.
a. The load connection group consists of the voltage reconnection board, the main load contactor, the load
terminal board, the current transformers and the electromagnetic interference capacitor assembly.
b. The voltage reconnection board consists of a stationary terminal board and a movable link–type board. It
provides a means of connecting the two coils of each phase of the generator assembly to provide all specified
output voltages. Simultaneously, it reconnects all other circuits necessary to convert the generator set from
120/208 to 240/416 Vac operation.
c. The voltage reconnection board is connected to the load terminal board through a three-pole
three-phase main load contactor. This contactor is controlled by the circuit breaker switch of the control cubicle
assembly. The main load contacts will automatically open when any of the protective devices actuate or when
the START–RUN-STOP switch is placed in the STOP position.
d. One lead of each of the two coils of each generator phase is connected directly to the voltage
reconnection board. The remaining two leads of each phase pass through a three-window current transformer.
The proportional current induced in the transformer is used by the static exciter and voltage regulator assembly
as a current boost. The leads then pass through a second three-window transformer. The proportional current
induced in this transformer is used in the load measuring unit and the ammeter and watt-meter circuit of the
control cubicle. The leads of two of the generator phases then pass through a single-window crosscurrent
transformer. The current induced in the crosscurrent transformer is used for reactive power compensation
during parallel operation. Local voltage sensing and adjustment are accomplished across a single coil of the
remaining phase.

Section X11. MAINTENANCE OF RELAY TABLE COMPONENTS
3-88. GENERAL.
The relay table components consist of the tactical relay assembly, the special relay assembly, and the
precise relay assembly. The tactical relay assembly, which is common to all three models, contains relays to
shutdown the generator set in the event of overvoltage, short circuit, overload, and reverse power. It also
houses the current transformer load resistors. The special relay assembly, also common to all three models,
contains the relays for the remainder of the protective devices and the paralleling controls for the voltage
regulator. The precise relay assembly is used only on the 50/60 Hz and 400 Hz precise models. It contains the
paralleling controls for the governor control unit and the fixed resistors of the frequency adjustment system. The
50/60 Hz model of the precise relay assembly also contains a frequency selector switch which changes its
operation from 50 to 60 Hz.

a. Testing Exciter Stator (On Equipment Test). Locate and disconnect exciter stator winding resistance using
ohmmeter. On the 15 kW and 30 kW generator sets, leads F1 and F2 are located on the terminal board near the static
exciter/voltage regulator control box. Check across leads F1 and F2 for resistance. A normal resistance reading of 1 to 4
ohms should be found. If the resistance of the exciter winding is not as specified, refer to the applicable section of the TM
for replacement/repair of the exciter stator winding.
b. Equipment Test of Field Flash Circuit Assuming the exciter stator winding resistance is correct (within 1 to 4 ohms)
Connect a DC voltmeter (0 to 30 volts) to the two wires that are disconnected from the exciter stator windings. NOTE :
DO NOT reconnect the wires to leads F1 and F2 at this time.
c. Remove Connector P37 from speed switch. Place a jumper between pins A and C on P37. Momentarily,
approximately 10 to 15 seconds, place the START-STOP-RUN switch in the START position and observe the DC
voltmeter. If the voltmeter indicates approximately 24 volts, the probable cause of the field flash is the speed switch. If a
DC voltmeter is not available, proceed to step d.
d. Remove Connector P3 from the speed switch. Place a jumper between pins A and C of socket J3 on the special
relay box for approximately 24 volts DC. If a DC voltage is not present, the problem may be the wiring between the speed
switch and the special relay box, the K5 relay, or current limiting resistor (R35) inside the special relay box (15kW and 30
kW generator sets only). If a DC voltage is present, replace Connector P3 on socket J3 and proceed to the next step.
e. Remove Connector P9 from the static exciter/voltage regulator control box. Momentarily, hold the START-STOPRUN switch in the START position and check between pins C and D of P9 for approximately 24 volts DC. If a DC voltage
is not present, the problem may be the wiring between the special relay box and the static exciter/voltage regulator control
box. If a DC voltage is present, replace Connector P9 on-socket J9 and’ proceed to the next step.
f. Remove Connector P13 from the static exciter/voltage regulator control box. Momentarily, hold the STARTSTOP-RUN switch in the START position and check between pins S and R of J13 on the control box for approximately 24
volts DC. If a DC voltage is not present, the problem may be any one of the following items within the control box:

(1) Broken wire within the control box.
(2) Current limiting resistor R219 sets.
(3) Current limiting resistor R17 sets.
g. Reconnect the wires previously removed from the exciter field winding, F1 and F2.

(2) Test.
(a) Start and operate the generator set and allow the set to stabilize at rated load, rated voltage and
rated frequency. During this period record all instrument readings including thermal instrumentation
at minimum intervals of 10 minutes. If necessary, adjustments to the load, voltage and frequency
may be made to maintain rated load at rated voltage and frequency. Adjustments to the voltage and
frequency may be made to maintain rated load at rated voltage and frequency. Adjustments to the
voltage and frequency shall be limited to those adjustments available to the operator, specifically
adjustments to the voltage or frequency adjust devices. On sets utilizing a droop type speed control
system as the prime speed control, the speed and droop portions of the control may be adjusted.
No other adjustments to the voltage and frequency control systems shall be made. Adjustments to
load, voltage or frequency controls shall be recorded on the data sheet at the time of adjustment.
Stabilization shall be considered to have occurred when four consecutive voltage and current
readings of the generator (or exciter) field either remain unchanged or have only minor variations
about an equilibrium condition with no evident continued increase or decrease in value after the
last adjustment to the load, voltage, or frequency has been made.
(b) No further adjustments shall be made to any set control for the remainder of this test except the

minus the rated load value divided by the rated load value the quantity expressed in percent.

% Regulation =
(No–Load Voltage) – (Rated-Load Voltage) x 100
(Rated–Load Voltage)
e. Results. The data sheets shall indicate the voltage regulation as a percent of rated voltage within the
specified limits at the minimum and maximum specified voltages and the regulation as a percent of rated
voltage at the extremes, the maximum and minimum voltages attainable and the actuation of the protection
devices (if applicable). Compare these results with the requirements of table 4-1.
4-14. FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE REGULATION, STABILITY, AND TRANSIENT RESPONSE TEST
(SHORT-TERM).
a. General. The frequency regulation (sometimes referred to as droop) of a generator set is the maximum
difference between the no load value of frequency and the value at any load up to and including rated load.
This difference is expressed as a percentage of the rated frequency of the generator set. The voltage regulation
is expressed similarly except that the rms value of voltage is used.
Frequency stability describes the tendency of the frequency to remain at a constant value. Generally, the
instantaneous value of frequency is not constant but varies randomly above and below a mean value. Stability
may be described as either short-term or long–term depending upon the length of time that the frequency is
observed. Another term, bandwidth, describes the limits of these variations. Bandwidth is expressed as a
percentage of the rated frequency of the generator set. Voltage stability is described similarly.
Frequency transient response describes the reaction of the frequency to a sudden change in some
condition; such as, a load change on a generator set. This response consists of the amount of excursion
beyond the mean of the new operating band, and the recovery time. The recovery time is the interval beginning
at the point where the frequency leaves the original prescribed operating band and ending at the point where it
enters and remains within the new prescribed operating band. The amount of surge is expressed as a
percentage of the rated frequency of the generator set. The recovery time is expressed in seconds. The voltage
transient response is described similarly.
b. Apparatus. Instrumentation for measuring load conditions, field voltage and current, and ambient
temperature shall be as described and illustrated in MIL-HDBK-705. In addition, recording meter(s) for
recording voltage and frequency shall be required.

c. Procedure.
(1) Preparation for test.
(a)

Connect the load and field instrumentation in accordance with the applicable figure of
MIL-HDBK-705, Method 205.1, paragraphs 205.1.10, for one voltage and frequency. Connect the
signal input of the recording meter(s) to the convenience receptacle of the set or to the generator
coil which is used as the voltage sensing input to the voltage regulator. (Power the recording
meter(s) from the commercial utility.)

(b)

Set the recording meter chart speed(s) to a minimum of 5 inches per hour. The following items shall
be recorded on both the data sheets and recording chart(s):
1. The date
2. The serial number(s) of the recording meter(s)
3. Generator set identification
4. The recording chart speed(s)
5. The data reading number

(c) Place all instrumentation referred to in paragraph 4-15b. in operation.
(2) Test.
(a) Start and operate the generator set and allow the set to stabilize at rated load, rated voltage and
rated frequency. During this period operate the recording meter(s) at a chart speed of not less than
6 inches per hour, and record all instrument readings including thermal instrumentation at minimum
intervals of 10 minutes. If necessary, adjustments to the load, voltage and frequency may be made
to maintain rated load at rated voltage and frequency. Adjustments to the voltage and frequency
shall be limited to those adjustments available to the operator, specifically adjustments to the
voltage or frequency adjust devices. On sets utilizing a droop-type speed control droop portions of
the control may be adjusted. No other adjustments to the voltage and frequency control systems
shall be made. Adjustments to load, voltage or frequency controls shall be recorded on both the
data sheet and the recording chart(s) at the time of an adjustment. Stabilization shall be considered
to have occurred when four consecutive voltage and current recorded readings of the generator (or
exciter) field either remain unchanged or have only minor variations about an equilibrium condition
with no evident continued increase or decrease in value after the last adjustment to the load,
voltage or frequency has been made.
(b) After stabilization has occurred, drop the load to no load and reapply rated load a number of times
(three should be sufficient) to assure that the no load and rated load voltage and frequency values
are repeatable and that the frequency and voltage regulation is within the limits specified in the
procurement document. If any adjustments are necessary, paragraph (a) above must be repeated.
Reapply rated load.

of this test. At each of the following load conditions (one step) operate the set for a minimum of 40
seconds (or the short-term stability period plus the allowable recovery time as specified in the
procurement document). During each load condition read and record all instrument readings except
thermal instrumentation (for three-phase sets it is not necessary to record line-to-line voltages).
Each load condition shall be applied to the generator set in one step at the end of the short-term
stability period for the previous load condition. The load conditions are:
1. Rated load
2. No load

d. Results.
(1)

Prepare a chart giving for each load change the momentary overshoot or undershoot and the
recovery time. For each constant load, give the maximum voltage variation.

(2)

Referring to figure 4-1 begin by determining the observed (B) and steady-state (D) voltage
bandwidths.

(a) Mark numerically the stabilizations occurring after each load change, starting with the stabilization
obtained before the first load change.
(b) Determine the observed voltage bandwidth (B) by marking the maximum trace excursion and
minimum trace excursion in the stabilized portion. Draw two lines parallel to the axis of chart
movement, one each passing through these maximum and minimum trace excursions respectively.
(c) Draw a line (C) parallel to and equidistant from the edges of the observed voltage bandwidth.
Determined in (b) above.
(d) Using the rated voltage of the generator and given requirements of table 4-1, calculate the
steady-state voltage bandwidth (D). Draw this steady-state voltage bandwidth as two parallel lines,
parallel to and equidistant from the median (C) at the observed voltage bandwidth.

4-12

AIR FORCE TO 35C2-445-2
NAVY NAVFAC P-8-624-34
(3) To determine the maximum voltage variation at constant load:
(a) One-half the observed voltage bandwidth (B) is the plus or minus value of voltage deviation at
constant load.
(b) Divide each of the values obtained in (a) by the rated voltage of the generator and multiply by 100
to convert to percentage.
(4) To determine the maximum overshoot and undershoot at each load step, and express this as a
percentage of its rated voltage, proceed as follows:
(a) From the meter recording charts, determine the maximum amount that the voltage trace goes
beyond the line (3) of the observed voltage band following the load change. See figure 4-1 for
illustration of overshoot and undershoot.
(b) Divide the result obtained in (a) by rated voltage (as given on the generator nameplate), then
multiply by 100 to convert to percentage.
CAUTION
Do not use the constant operating voltage at each load as the divisor in the
computation. Use only the rated voltage of the generator. Failure to observe this
caution could result in damage to the equipment.
(5) To determine the time required to restore stable voltage conditions after each load change (recovery
time):
(a) The prescribed steady state voltage bandwidth, extended to the point at which the voltage trace
leaves the prescribed steady state band, shall be considered as the time at which the transient
conditions begin. The point at which the voltage trace enters and remains within the prescribed
band after a load change shall be considered as the point at which stabilization begins.
(b) Measure the distance (in inches) on the chart from the point where the voltage trace leaves the
prescribed steady state band to the point where it re-enters and remains within the prescribed
voltage band for the next load condition.
(c) Divide this distance by the chart speed (in inches per second). This will give the voltage recovery
time, in seconds.
(6) Determine the voltage regulation for all load changes (e. g. rated load to no load, 1/2 rated load to no
load to 1/4 load, etc.) as follows:
(a) Using the indicating voltmeter readings subtract the load value of voltage from the no load value for
each load change (e. g. step (a) to step (b)). (For voltage regulators utilizing single-phase voltage
sensing, the value of voltage in the sensed phase only shall be used in the above calculations. For
voltage regulators utilizing multi-phase voltage sensing the average value of the sensed voltage
shall be used.)

ARMY TM 9-6115-464-34
AIR FORCE TO 35C2-3-445-2
NAVY NAVFAC P-8-624-34

(2) Test.
(a) Start and operate the generator set and allow it to stabilize at rated load, rated voltage and rated
frequency (speed). During this period, readings of all instruments including thermal instrumentation
shall be recorded at minimum intervals of 10 minutes. If necessary, adjustments to the load, voltage
and rated frequency. However, adjustments to the voltage and frequency shall be limited to those
adjustments available to the operator, specifically adjustments to the voltage or frequency adjust
devices. On generator sets utilizing a droop-type speed control system as the prime speed control,
the speed and droop portions of the control maybe adjusted. No other adjustments to the voltage
and frequency control systems shall be made. Adjustments to the load, voltage or frequency
controls shall be recorded on both the data sheet, and recording chart(s). Stabilization will be
considered to have occurred when four consecutive voltage and current recordings of the exciter
field either remain unchanged or have only minor variations about an equilibrium condition with no
evident continued increase or decrease in value after the last adjustment to the load, voltage or
frequency has been made.
(b) Perform this test using resistive load only. Remove reactive load after stabilization.
(c) For Class II Sets:
1.

Alternately increase the load, voltage and frequency in small increments until the fuel system
controls are in the maximum fuel position as permitted by the governor control linkage and the
voltage and frequency are within 1 percent of their rated values.
NOTE
Small increments should be taken to avoid passing the maximum power at the rated
voltage and frequency point and to avoid racing or bogging the engine.

2.

Hold the conditions in step (1) above for two minutes. However, if the voltage and frequency
cannot be maintained within 1 percent of their rated values, the load must be adjusted to the
point at which the voltage and frequency can be maintained within 1 percent of the rated value
for two minutes.
CAUTION
It may be necessary to reduce the load to a value below the rated kilowatt load for a
short period of time to prevent serious overheating or damage to the generator set if
the conditions can not be readily attained. (Monitor instrumentation.) Failure to
observe this caution could result in equipment damage.

3.

At the end of the two minute interval record all instrument readings including thermal
instrumentation.

4.

Reduce the load to approximately rated kilowatt load and allow the generator set to cool for
approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

5.

Repeat steps (1) through (4) above until three valid sets of maximum power data are obtained.

(d) For Class I Sets:

4-24

1.

Repeat step (c) above but do not adjust the frequency.

2.

Repeat steps (a) through (c) above as applicable for all other voltage connections and
frequencies.

ARMY TM 9-6115-464-34
AIR FORCE TO 35C2-445-2
NAVY NAVFAC P-8-624-34
(e) Results.
1.

Average the three valid power readings. This average is the observed maximum power value.

2.

Correct the observed maximum power value to standard conditions using the procedure in
MIL–HDBK-705, Method 220.2, paragraph 220.2.3. This is the corrected maximum power value.

3.

Compare these results with the requirements of table 4-1.

4-24. UNDER FREQUENCY PROTECTIVE DEVICE TEST
a. General. For generators that power certain types of equipment, it is extremely important that the circuit
interrupter open when the frequency fails appreciably below rated value. Severe damage may otherwise result
to the powered equipment. To insure that the circuit interrupter will open at or before the critical frequency
value, the generators are equipped with an underfrequency protective device. The device on this generator
operates electrically. Although the under frequency protective device must be capable of functioning at any
voltage throughout the specified voltage operating range, it is necessary only to perform the test at the specified
maximum, at rated, and at minimum voltage limits.
b. Apparatus Instrumentation for measuring load conditions shall be as described and illustrated in method
205.1. paragraph 205.1.10 of MILL-HDBK-7050.
c. Procedure.
(1) Preparation for test. Connect a voltmeter and frequency meter to the generator set terminals, ahead
of the circuit interrupter, and the remainder of the apparatus as shown in the applicable figure of
paragraph 205.1.10 of MIL-HDBK-705.
(2) Test.
(a) Operate the generator at rated speed and voltage, and at no load since the generator is equipped
with an electrical-type underfrequency protective device, this test shall be repeated with the
voltage adjusted to maximum and minimum voltage for the specified voltage operating range.
(b) With the circuit interrupter closed, slowly decrease the operating speed until the protective device
causes the circuit interrupter to open. The electric governor must be deactivated to sufficiently
decrease the speed on Class 1, precise sets.
(c) Record the speed.
(d) Repeat the test while rapidly decreasing the operating speed. Again record the speed.
(e) Operate the generator at rated speed and voltage, and at rated load.
(f) Repeat steps (b), (c) and (d).
d. Results. Compare the test value of frequency with that given in table 4-1.

Section VI. ACOUSTIC SUPPRESSION KIT
5-28. GENERAL
The acoustic suppression kit provides the ability to lower the noise level of the generator set to 70 dB(A) at 7
meters. It consists of panels, doors, and components that rover or replace original components of the
generator set. The generator set is operated and maintained in the same manner; however, access to
components and operation will change slightly due to configuration changes.
Remember that the overall weight and cube of the generator set will increase with the acoustic suppression
kit installed. (Refer to TM 9-8115-464-12, para 1-10.) Inspect the components of the acoustic suppression kit
upon delivery for bends, cracks, dents, missing components, or other damage.
5-29. ACOUSTIC SUPPRESSION KIT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL.

NOTE
Do not allow components with rubber seals to slide on surfaces. Damage to rubber seals will result.
a. Prepare generator set for installation of acoustic suppression kit.

WARNING
Do not use hoisting equipment with maximum capacity less than 5,000 pounds. Do not
allow generator set to swing while suspended. Do not allow personnel under generator
set or components of acoustic suppression kit when hoisted or lifted. Death or severe
injury may result.

CAUTION
Use a minimum bridle of 5 feet on the hoisting sling to avoid undue side pressure on
the lifting frame. Failure to observe this caution could result equipment damage.

NOTE
If generator set is trailer–mounted, generator set must be removed from trailer, and
rubber isolators supplied with kit placed between the generator set and trailer mounting
surface. When installing the generator set, attach anti-rotation clip, and attach the
mounting bolts. Bolts should be torqued to 5 ft- lb (6.80 Nm) and jam nuts installed.
(Jam nuts are common hardware items.) Once the acoustic suppression kit is installed,
gen set will require 1 inch ground clearance. Do not skid gen set with acoustic
suppression kit installed. Do not forklift unless both side panel skirts are in the raised
position. If generator set is trailer-mounted, the trailer brackets supplied with kit must
be installed. The brackets allow for the extended length when the acoustic suppression
kit is installed.
