CHAPTER 3GENERATOR SET CONTROLS REPAIR INSTRUCTIONSSection I. INTRODUCTION3-1. General.3-2. Generator Set Controls Description.This chapter includes repair instructions for theThe generator set controls are mounted at the rearfault indicator panel and the control cubicle. Testof the set, and provide all monitoring and controlprocedures for the control cubicle include individualdevices required to operate the set. Controls con-tests for the converter, control box, relay assem-sist of the fault indicator panel, the control cubicle,bly, frequency meter and transducer, ac wattmeterand the manual throttle control.Refer to the Oper-and ac ammeter.ator and Organizational Maintenance Manual formanual throttle control repair instructions.Section II.FAULT INDICATOR PANEL3-3. Removal, Disassembly and Repair,a.Removal.Refer to Operator and Organiza-tional Maintenance Manual and remove the fault indi-cator panel.b.Disassembly.See figures 3-1 and 3-2 anddisassemble the fault indicator panel.c. Repair. Proceed as follows—(1) Clean all components with low pressurecompressed air, or wipe clean with dry, lint freecloth.(2) Inspect for broken fuseholders, cracked orbroken lamp holders, damaged wire insulation, bro-den wires and bent or broken connector pins.(3) Remove any components that show visualdamage, such as broken fuseholder, or broken lampholder (fig. 3-1).(4) Replace circuit board if broken, crackedor distorted.(5) Resistors may be checked by breaking con-nection at one end to prevent feedback resistanceand touching both ends with ohmmeter probes. Re-sistors R1 through R10 (fig. 1-2) should read 2. 2Kohms ±10 percent.Resistors R11 through R20should read 1K ohms ±10 percent. Any variationin excess of 10 percent indicates that the resistorshould be replaced.If any connections are openedor bared for test purposes or if any defective com-ponents are replaced, the affected area must becoated with polyurethane resin to prevent oxidationor other corrosion. The coating must be of a mini-mum thickness of O. 007 inches and air bubble entryinto the applied polyurethane must be controlled sothat the legibility of component coding and identifica-tion is not impaired.The polyurethane resin to beutilized will correspond to MIL-I-46058 grade S,Type PUR.(6) Unplug relay 17, (fig. 3-1) in fault indica-tor panel and check resistance of relay coils withohmmeter probes across pins 3 and 7. Readingshould be 300 ohms ±10 percent. Replace relay ifvariation exceeds 10 percent. Plug relay into cir-cuit board.(7) Rebuild wiring harness if inspection re-veals 30 percent or more defective wires. Wiringharness rebuilding instructions are described inChapter 5. Otherwise replace damaged wires.3-4. Reassembly, Testing and Installation.a.Reassembly.See figures 3-1 and 3-2 and re-assemble the fault indicator panel.b.Testing. See figure 1-2. To test the fault in-dicator panel, proceed as follows:(1) Connect 24Vdc, positive to pin A of ter-minal board.(2) Connect 24Vdc negative to pin B and case.(3) Operate reset switch. All lights shouldlight.(4) Connect pin C to pin D. Low oil pressurelight should light.(5) Open C to D connection. Low oil pressurelights should remain on.(6) Connect pin C to pin E. Low oil pressurelight should remain on.(7) Operate reset switch. Low oil pressurelight should go out and overspeed switch should light.3-1
