(c)Open the switch and adjust the resis-tance, R2 until Voltmeter Number 2 reads the under-voltage value specified in Table 16-1. This test shallbe repeated for each undervoltage value.c.Procedure.(1) Preparationfortest.With the set not oper-ating remove the protective device tap from the en-gine-block and reconnect as shown in figure 515. 1-Iwith the protective device and oil pressure gage inapproximately the same horizontal plane as the pro-tective device tap located on the engine.(d)Repeat steps (b) and (c) above to assurethat the specified undervoltage and rated voltage set-tings are correct.(e)Set the oscillograph chart speed suchthat the individual waveform peaks are clearly visible.Set the timing lines to a minimum of 0. 01 seconds perline or usc a 60 Hertz timing trace. With the switchopen, adjust the trace peak-to-peak amplitude to aminimum of one inch (or 25 millimeters).(2) Test.(a)With the bleeder valve closed and theshut-off valve in the oil pressure line open, start andoperate the set at rated speed (use the set instrumen-tation) and at no load.(f)With the set operating and the circuitinterrupter and the switch open, read and recordboth voltmeter readings.(b)Open the bleeder valve slightly to purgeair from the system.(c)Close the bleeder valve and record theoil pressure as indicated on the external gage.(g)Close the switch and circuit interrupter,(h)With the oscillograph recording, openthe switch,(d)Almost completely close the shut-offv a l v e .(i)After allowing sufficient time for thecircuit interrupter to operate, check and record theindication of the undervoltage malfunction indicator.(e)Slowly open the bleeder valve until thelow oil pressure protective device shuts down theengine.Record the reading of the oil pressure gageat the point of set shutdown (see figure 515. l-II).(j)Close the switch, and close the circuitinterrupter.(f)Record operation of the malfunction in-dicator light.(k)Repeat steps (e) thru (j) above two ad-ditional times.d .Results.Compare the value of shutdown pres-sure with the requirement of Table 16-1.(l)Repeat (a) thru (k) for the other under-voltage value specified in para. 16-1.16-22. Overtemperature Protective Device Test.e.Results.a.General. The overtemperature device mustbe capable protecting the engine in the set againstoverheating for any reason.(1) From the oscillograms made in 16-20cdetermine and tabulate the time between the appli-cation of the overvoltage and operation of the circuitinterrupter for each application of overvoltage.b.Apparatus.Instrumentation for measuring loadconditions and set and ambient temperatures shall beas described and illustrated in MIL-HDBK-705,Method 205.1, Paragraph 205.1.10.(2) From the oscillograms made in 16-20ddetermine and tabulate the time between the applicationof the undervoltage and the operation of the circuitinterrupter for each application of undervoltage.c.Procedure.(1) Preparationfortest.(3) Compare these results with the require-ments of table 16-1.(a)Connect the load instrumentation in ac-cordance with the applicable figure of MIL-HDBK-705,Method 205.1, Paragraph 205.1.10.16-21. Low Oil Pressure Protective Device Test.a. General. Since generator sets frequently oper-ate–unattended for long periods, the engine isequipped with a low oil pressure protective device.This device shuts down the engine when the oil pres-sure drops below the safe limit.(b)Install a thermocouple to measure thesame temperature as seen by the protective devicesensor.(2) Test.b. Apparatus.The following equipment shall berequired to perform this test.(a)Start and operate the generator set atrated voltage, rated frequency (speed), and rated load.Oil pressure gage (± 1%)Flexible oil line (or copper tubing)Regulating valvesBrass fittings.(b)Block the cooling air to the generator setby any suitable means.16-12
