CHAPTER 8RELAY TABLE GROUP REPAIR INSTRUCTIONSSection I. INTRODUCTION8-1. Scope.a.Section I of this chapter includes a brief des-cription of the assemblies that make up the relay ta-ble group, overall functional operation, symptoms ofrelay table group malfunction, and relay table groupequipment tests.b.Subsequent sections of this chapter includerepair instructions for the assemblies which are partof the relay table group.8-2. Relay Table Group Description.a. The relay table and related parts (fig. 8-1)intrudes the control relay assemblies, the excitationassembly exciter and the load measuring unit. Theload measuring unit, and the excitation assemblyexciter are common to all modes and classes of sets.Control relay assemblies include the tactical relayassembly (used on all sets), precise relay assembly(used on Mode 1, Class 1 sets), and two differentspecial relay box assemblies (one used on Mode Isets and the other used on Mode II sets).b. The tactical, precise, and special relay boxassemblies contain control relay modules for over-voltage, short circuit, and reverse power on allsets. Class 1 sets also contain additional controlrelay modules for underfrequency, undervoltage, andpermissive paralleling.c. The excitation assembly exciter system pro-vides control of excitation voltage to the main gener-ator to produce voltage buildup in the generator fieldcoils.The excitation system assembly contains avoltage regulator that senses the generator outputvoltage and uses it as a reference to control fieldcurrent in the generator and thus regulate the gener-ator output voltage level.d. The load measuring unit (LMU) is supplied onall sets. The LMU provides a dc signal proportionalto the real power (kw) being delivered by the maingenerator. Refer to paragraphs 7-1 and 7-2.8-3. Relay Table Group Symptoms and Isolation ofMalfunction.Malfunctions in the relay table group will be electricalin nature, and will affect the generator output voltage,via the excitation system assembly, and normal sys-tern operation due to a malfunctioning protection relayin the tactical precise or set special relay box assem-bly. If the set is in operable condition, the equip-ment tests listed in table 8-1 can be performed to iso-late the malfunction.Section II. CONTROL RELAY ASSEMBLIES8-4. ScopeThis section includes repair instructions for the tac-tical relay assembly, precise relay assembly, andspecial relay box assemblies.8-5. Removal.See figure 8-1, unscrew electrical connectors, andremove the tactical relay assembly (2), precise re-lay assembly (4), special relay assembly (14), ex-citation assembly (18), and relay table (52), as re-quired.8-6. Disassembly.NOTETag all electrical connections removedduring disassembly for position identi-fication during reassembly.a.TacticalRelayBoxAssembly.(1) See figure 8-2 and disassemble the tacticalrelay assembly as follows:(a) Remove screws (1) and washers (1A) andremove cover (2).(b) Tag and disconnect all wiring harnessleads.(c) Complete disassembly in accordancewith figure 8-2.(2) See figure 8-3 and disassemble the tacticalrelay resistor assembly.b. PreciseRelayBoxAssembly(Class1Sets).—(1) On Class 1, Mode 1 Sets, see figure 8-4 todisassemble the precise relay box assembly.NOTETag and disconnect all electrical leadsprior to removal of wiring harness (7).(2) See figure 8-5 for disassembly of the re-sistor assembly.Change 7 8-1
