CHAPTER 6LOAD CONNECTION GROUP REPAIR INSTRUCTIONSSection I. INTRODUCTION6-1. Scope.This chapter contains repair instructions for themain load contactor and current transformer of theload connection group.6-2. Load Connection Group Description.a.The load connection group consists of the mainload contactor, load terminal board assembly, cur-rent transformer assembly, and reconnection board.b.The main load contactor connects the maingenerator output to the load. The contactor closeswhen the load contactor switch (S-3) (refer to Oper-atar and Organizational Maintenance Manual) isplaced in the on position momentarily.c.The load terminal board provides a means ofconnection to the generator set load. The contactorconnects the generator output to the load through theload terminal board.d.The output cables of the generator pass throughthe cores of the current transformers. When thegenerator is connected to a load, a proportional cur-rent is induced in the current transformer secondary.This secondary current is used by the excitation sys-tem as a current boost during a short circuit andcross current compensation during parallel operationThe current transformer secondary is also used tooperate the ammeter and wattmeter circuits in thecontrol panel and it is used in the load measuring unitcircuit.e. The reconnection board permits reconnectionof the generator phase windings to give optional out-put voltages.Both ends of each coil of each phasewinding run from the generator to a stud on the re-connection board. A changeover board, with copperbus bars, is mounted so that the studs contact thebus bars. The bus bars are so designed that by mov-ing the changeover board to one of two positions, thegenerator phase coils may be connected in series orparallel for 120/208 volt or 240/416 volt operationf. Refer to the Operator and Organizational Main-tenanance Manual for maintenance instruction proced-ures covering the load terminal board and reconnec-tion board.Section II. MAIN LOAD CONTACTOR6-3. Removal and Disassembly.a.Removal.Refer to Operator and Organization-al Maintenance Manual and remove the main load con-tactor.b.Disassembly.See figure 6-1 or figure 6-1 D(used on Serial Numbers FZ-01639 on, for 50/60 Hzand Serial Numbers FZ-06463 on, for 400 Hz) anddisassemble the main load contactor as illustrated.6-4. Cleaning, Inspection, and Testing.a.Cleaning.Clean all components with clothdampened in cleaning solvent, Federal SpecificationP-D-680.b.Inspection.Refer to Operator and Organiza-tional Maintenance Manual.c.Testing.Refer to Operator and OrganizationalMaintenance Manual.6-5. Repair.a. Replace contactor actuator coil if defective.—b.Replace contacts in contactor if badly pitted orburned. When one contact is damaged, all contactsmust be replaced.c.Repair damaged threads with a die or by filingwith a fine mill file.6-6. Reassembly and Installation.a.Reassembly.See figure 6-1 and reassemblethe-main load contactor observing the following:(1) After assembly of the operator assembly(23) refer to figure 6-1A and perform thefollowing adjustment procedures:Change 3 6-1
