f.
Perform the operating tests as indicated in
table 16-1.
16-7. Direction of Rotation Controls.
With the generator set running at a rated load, rotate
the following controls and verify their proper opera-
tion.
a.
Frequency Adjust Control. On Class 1 sets
clockwise rotation of the frequency adjust control
rheostat must cause set frequency to increase as in-
dicated on the frequency meter. On Class 2 sets
counterclockwise rotation of manual speed control
must increase frequency.
NOTE
On Class 1 sets, set manual control fuel
injection pump lever in the full fuel posi-
tion with the manual speed control in the
IN position to assure mechanical governor
does not interfere with operation of elec-
tric governor.
On Class 2 sets, set manual control fuel
injection pump lever for 48 hertz opera-
tion with the manual speed control in the
IN position to assure set does not oper-
ate at low speeds.
b.
Voltage Adjust Control. Clockwise rotation
of the voltage adjust control must cause set voltage
to increase as indicated on the voltmeter.
c.
Governor Paralleling Control (Class 1 sets
only) .
Counterclockw ise rotation of the governor
paralleling control must cause an increase in the sig-
nal appearing at the paralleling receptacles.
d.
Voltage Regulator Paralleling Control. Clock-
wise rotation of the voltage regulator paralleling con-
trol must cause that set to increase its share of the
total reactive Kva.
16-8.
Reverse Power Protective Device Test.
a. Operate two generator sets in parallel at no
load, with contractors closed.
b.
Lower speed of set being tested until the main
contactor opens.
c.
Record the value on the kilowatt meter of the
other set at the moment the contactor opens. The
load contactor of the set under test, must open when
power flow into the generator exceeds 20 percent of
the rated value.
16-9.
Low Fuel Protective Device.
a.
Disconnect cable to the day tank fuel solenoid
value.
b. Operate generator set at full load.
c.
The low fuel protective device must operate
when the fuel in the day tank falls to a point at which
there is only enough to operate the set at rated load
for one minute.

Parallel Operation Provisions (Real Power).
For Class 1 sets:
(1) Remove the shorting plug.
Change 4
(2) With rated (60 kw) load on the generator
set, measure the dc voltage across pins A and B of
one of the paralleling receptacles (J45, J46 or J47).
Adjust R28 (located in the precise relay box on Mode
I sets and in the special relay box on the Mode II
sets) until 7 volts dc is indicated on Mode I sets and
2.4 volts dc is indicated on Mode II sets. Insure that
pin A is positive.
b.
For Class 2 sets.
Adjust governor droop in accordance with paragraph
14-48 (17).
16-11.
Parallel Operation Provision (Reactive
Power).
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 parallel
position, adjust R29 (located on the special relay box)
until 7.2 volts ac is indicated across pins C and D of
one of the paralleling receptacles (J45, J46 or J47).
c.
Install the shorting plug.
d.
With 60kw 1.0 PF load applied the change in
voltage from no load should not exceed 1%. With
60kw .8 PF load applied the voltage change, from no
load 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 accomplished
at the same time that the protective devices are tested
in 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 circuits
does not work, verify that the lamp is functional by
operating the test and reset switch on the fault indi-
cator panel,
16-13.
Phase Balance Test Voltage.
a. General. Polyphase electrical equipment may
notoperate properly or may be damaged if the phase
voltages of a polyphase generator differ greatly from
each other. Also, large differences between the
phase voltages of a polyphase generator may be an
indication that the generator set has been improperly
manufactured 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 ac
voltmeter having an accuracy of ± .1% of the reading
shall be required to perform both procedures. A
means of separately exciting the generator is re-
quired since procedure H is performed.
c. Generator with Separate Excitation.
(1) Preparation for test.
(a) Completely isolate the generator
windings (armature coils and field windings).
