b. Remove the wheel mounting kit and associa-ted–hardware in reverse order as-illustrate infigure 17-6.17-22. Inspection and Repair.Refer to Operator and Organizational MaintenanceManual for wheel-mounting kit inspection and re-pair instructions.17-23. Installation.a.Using a lifting device, with 10, 000 poundSection IV.17-24. General.a.The load bank is a balanced, three phase,four-wire device that can be used to apply a re-sistive load to the generator. The purpose of theresistive load is to provide a partial load for theset if the normal utility load is too low to keep theengine generator set operating without carboniza-tion of the engine.b. When the load bank is used in conjunctionwith the engine-generator set, the generator isprotected against overloads by the load reject relayA41, incurred as a result of increases in utilityload.The selected kw load of the bank is continu-ally present.The load reject relay, utilized whenthe load bank mode selector switch is in the autoposition, receives the output of the load measuringunit.c.The load measuring unit senses the generatoroutput (utility load plus load bank), should the com-bined load exceed 50% of the rated generator capa-city 60 kw (i. e. 30 kw). The LMU output voltageapplied to the load reject relay causes contactswithin the load reject relay to close, resulting inthe energizing of the trip coil of the Over Tempera-ture Reset switch.d. This action removes the selected load fromthe–generator output allowing continued supply ofthe utility load without the risk of generator over-load.e.When the generators utility load diminishesthe load bank may be reapplied by manually reset-ting the Over Temperature Reset switch.f. Positioning the load bank select switch to themanual mode disables the trip feature previouslydescribed.Protection of the generator againstoverloads produced by combined load bank and util-ity loads is then the responsibility of the operator.The total load is displayed on the panel mountedkw meter.Should the displayed reading exceed thesets rated capacity, the operator must reduce orremove the load bank setting with the load bankselector switch.capacity, hoist engine generator set until bottomof skid base clears ground by approximately twofeet.b. Position front and rear running gear andlower engine generator set until it just rests onrunning gear axles.c.Install kit with attaching hardware as illust-rated in figure 17-6.LOAD BANKg. The load bank incorporates a thermostaticswitch which will operate the trip end of the OverTemperature Reset switch to remove the selectedload from the generator when the ambient tempera-ture reaches 450 ± 15° F. The thermostatic switchis fully operable in both manual and automaticmodes of operation.17-25. Removal and Disassembly.a. Removal.Refer to Operator and Organiza-tional Maintenance Manual and remove the loadbank.b. Disassembly.See figure 17-7 and disassem-ble the load bank.17-26. Repair, Overhaul and Rebuild.a. Test diodes per paragraph 14-10. Replacea defective diode.b. Repair or rebuild wiring harness as required.Refer to Chapter 5, and to wiring schematic inChapter 1 for wiring instructions.c. Refer to figure 17-8 and perform load rejectrelay test.d. Rotary Switches.Refer to Operator andOrganizational Maintenance Manual.e. Fan and Motor Assembly. Refer to Operatorand-Organizational Maintenance Manual.(1) Removal.Refer to Operator and Organi-zational Maintenance Manual to remove the fan andmotor assembly.(2) Disassembly.See figure 17-9 and dis-assemble in the numerical sequence illustrated.(3) Cleaning and inspection.(a) Cleaning.1.
