f.Perform the operating tests as indicated intable 16-1.16-7. Direction of Rotation Controls.With the generator set running at a rated load, rotatethe following controls and verify their proper opera-tion.a.FrequencyAdjustControl. On Class 1 setsclockwise rotation of the frequency adjust controlrheostat must cause set frequency to increase as in-dicated on the frequency meter. On Class 2 setscounterclockwise rotation of manual speed controlmust increase frequency.NOTEOn Class 1 sets, set manual control fuelinjection pump lever in the full fuel posi-tion with the manual speed control in theIN position to assure mechanical governordoes not interfere with operation of elec-tric governor.On Class 2 sets, set manual control fuelinjection pump lever for 48 hertz opera-tion with the manual speed control in theIN position to assure set does not oper-ate at low speeds.b.Voltage Adjust Control. Clockwise rotationof the voltage adjust control must cause set voltageto increase as indicated on the voltmeter.c.GovernorParallelingControl(Class1setsonly).Counterclockw ise rotation of the governorparalleling control must cause an increase in the sig-nal appearing at the paralleling receptacles.d.VoltageRegulatorParallelingControl. Clock-wise rotation of the voltage regulator paralleling con-trol must cause that set to increase its share of thetotal reactive Kva.16-8.Reverse Power Protective Device Test.a. Operate two generator sets in parallel at noload, with contractors closed.b.Lower speed of set being tested until the maincontactor opens.c.Record the value on the kilowatt meter of theother set at the moment the contactor opens. Theload contactor of the set under test, must open whenpower flow into the generator exceeds 20 percent ofthe rated value.16-9.Low Fuel Protective Device.a.Disconnect cable to the day tank fuel solenoidvalue.b. Operate generator set at full load.c.The low fuel protective device must operatewhen the fuel in the day tank falls to a point at whichthere is only enough to operate the set at rated loadfor one minute.16-10.a.16-2Parallel Operation Provisions (Real Power).For Class 1 sets:(1) Remove the shorting plug.Change 4(2) With rated (60 kw) load on the generatorset, measure the dc voltage across pins A and B ofone of the paralleling receptacles (J45, J46 or J47).Adjust R28 (located in the precise relay box on ModeI sets and in the special relay box on the Mode IIsets) until 7 volts dc is indicated on Mode I sets and2.4 volts dc is indicated on Mode II sets. Insure thatpin A is positive.b.For Class 2 sets.Adjust governor droop in accordance with paragraph14-48 (17).16-11.Parallel Operation Provision (ReactivePower).a.Remove the shorting plug.b.With rated load 60kw at .8 PF on the genera-tor-set, and the unit parallel switch in the parallelposition, adjust R29 (located on the special relay box)until 7.2 volts ac is indicated across pins C and D ofone of the paralleling receptacles (J45, J46 or J47).c.Install the shorting plug.d.With 60kw 1.0 PF load applied the change involtage from no load should not exceed 1%. With60kw .8 PF load applied the voltage change, from noload should be approximately 3%.16-12.Malfunction Indicator Test.a.The malfunction indicator system is electri-cally isolated and independent of the protection sys-tem. Testing of the indicators can be accomplishedat the same time that the protective devices are testedin tests 6,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17 and 18 of table 16-1,b.In the event that one of the indicator circuitsdoes not work, verify that the lamp is functional byoperating the test and reset switch on the fault indi-cator panel,16-13.Phase Balance Test Voltage.a. General. Polyphase electrical equipment maynot–operate properly or may be damaged if the phasevoltages of a polyphase generator differ greatly fromeach other. Also, large differences between thephase voltages of a polyphase generator may be anindication that the generator set has been improperlymanufactured or damaged.b. Apparatus.A frequency meter (or tachometer)as described and illustrated in MIL-HDBK-705,Method 104.1 (or 109. 1) and an rms indicating acvoltmeter having an accuracy of ± .1% of the readingshall be required to perform both procedures. Ameans of separately exciting the generator is re-quired since procedure H is performed.c. GeneratorwithSeparateExcitation.(1) Preparationfortest.(a) Completely isolate the generatorwindings (armature coils and field windings).
