DESCRIPTIONOFGENERATORSET.MEP-003A is a 10 kilowatt, 60 Hertz GeneratorThe MEP-112A is a 10 kilowatt, 400 Hertz Gen-used primarily for operating control and excitationand (2) the ac output system to supply power to theload.erator Set. Both consist of a revolving field alter-nator powered by an air cooled diesel engine. Seefigures 1-1 and 1-2 for the location of major com-ponent. These sets are not designed for paralleloperation.a. Engine.(1) The engine powering this Generator Set is a4 cylinder, 4 cycle air cooled engine, with a 140 cubicinch (cu. in.) displacement. A mechanical governorkeeps engine speed at 1800 revolutions per minute(RPM) under rated load conditions for the MEP-003Aand at 2000 RPM for the MEP-112A.(2) Fuel is supplied either from this unit’s self-contained fuel tank or, by using an adapter, directlyfrom a 55 gallon drum or other source. The fuel isfiltered by two cartridge type fuel filters and a singlefuel strainer, Two electric, self-priming fuel pumpspump fuel to the fuel injection pump which deliversthe fuel at high pressure to fuel injection nozzles inthe cylinder head. When auxiliary source. of fuel isused, three electric fuel pumps are used.(3) Two 12 volt “wet cell” batteries in seriessupply power for a 24 volt electric starter and forglow plugs, located in the cylinder head, and two airheaters located in the intake manifold, used for coldweather starting. An alternator located beneath theblower wheel and completely separate from the m ainalternator automatically recharges these batterieswhen the engine is operating.b. Generator.The generator on the MEP-O03A is a four pole, re-volving field type. The generator on the MEP-112Ais a 24 pole, revolving field type, Alternating current,supplied by the exciter assembly, is rectified andused to create the revolving field.A “solid-state” voltage regulator assembly auto-matically adjusts this current to obtain a constant(±3%) voltage in the main stator (output) windings.c. Controls.All operator controls and indicator gauges necessaryfor running the engine Generator Set are located onthe control panel. In addition, an oil pressure gageis located on the engine and a fuel level gage islocated on the fuel tank. The speed control is lo-cated below the control panel.Controls for selecting output voltage are located onthe output control box.d. Generator Set Electrical System (see schematicfigure 1-7).(1) General. The generator set’s electrical sys-tem consists of two distinct systems (1) the dc systemThe dc source consists of a 24 volt battery set (BT1and BT2) that is kept charged by a battery chargingalternator (G2) and voltage regulator rectifier as-sembly (A5). Fuse (F1) protects the alternator fromoverload. Circuit breaker (CB2) protects the batterycharging system from overload. Slave receptacle (J15)permits an alternate external supply to be connectedto the battery circuit.(2) Operation, Placing MASTER SWITCH (S1) into thePREHEAT position, the preheat relay K2 is activated toenergize the heater elements (HR1 and HR2) and the engineglow plugs (HR3, HR4, HR5, and HR6).Placing the MASTER SWITCH in the PRIME-RUN-AUXILIARY position activates the fuel pumps E2 andE3 as well as the auxiliary fuel pump El. If the fuellevel is down, the fuel level switch S3 will be closedand the auxiliary fuel solenoid will actuate permit-ting fuel to be pumped into the tank.Placing the MASTER SWITCH (S1) into the PRIME-RUN position maintains power to the main fuel pumpsbut deactivates the auxiliary fuel pump.(a) Start. Placing the MASTER SWITCH (Sl)into the start position maintains the fuel pump cir-cuits and the preheat circuits to the glow plugs (HR3,HR4, HR5 and HR6) as well as to energize the gover-nor solenoid (K5) and start relay (K1). The crank re-lay (K3) is energized, in turn energizing the startsolenoid (K6) and activating the starter (B1). Thegovernor brings the engine to speed, building up oilpressure and closing oil pressure switch (S5). Theexciter field is flashed during this starting procedure.(b) Run. Placing the MASTER SWITCH (S1) in thePRIME-RUN position keeps the governor solenoid (K5)energized thru the now closed oil pressure switch (S5) and fuelwill be supplied to the engine as long as the oil pressure is nor-mal and the high temperature switch (S4) is not activated byhigh temperature.(c) Stop. Placing the MASTER SWITCH (S1) inthe OFF position de-energizes the governor solenoid(K5) shutting off fuel to stop the engine. High temper-ature or low oil pressure will also shut the. enginedown.(3) AC Circuitry. The main alternator (G1) iswound with six pairs of coils that may be connectedby the AC Reconnect switch (S6) into various com-binations, the output of which is available at the loadterminal board (TB1). Circuit breaker (CB1) protectsthe alternator from overloads. The volt/ampere se-lect switch (S8) permits switching voltmeter (MS) andammeter (M4) to read the load current and voltagefor the various arrangement of outputs.Voltage regulator (A2) and current voltage trans-former CVT1 monitors the alternator output voltage1 -2Change 4
