Section XXII. MAINTENANCE OF INTERCONNECTING
ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS
4-57.
GENERAL. This section contains information
on interconnecting wiring harnesses of the engine
generator and chassis. The wiring harnesses provide
electrical interconnection between major assemblies of
the generator set.
4-58.
TEST AND REPLACEMENT. Proceed as
follows:
WARNING
Set MAINTENANCE LOCKOUT switch to
LOCKOUT. Disconnect negative cable
from batteries. Remove external power
by opening CB101 (120V RECEPTACLE
BREAKER). Load terminals of generator
set circuit breaker (CB2) may still be
energized with bus voltage.
a.
Test. Perform continuity check, using
ohmmeter between connecting points in the
wiring harness. Check for short circuits
between connector pins of the same
receptacle or terminal board.
b.
Repair.
(1)
If a broken wire is accessible remove
sufficient insulation from each side of the
break to allow a good connection of the
bared ends by twisting them together.
Solder the connection and wrap with
electrical tape.
(2)
If a wire is broken from a terminal lug,
replace the lug. If a wire is broken
from
a
connector,
resolder
and
reassemble.
WARNING
Under
no
condition
leave
the
bare
connection exposed.
(3)
If a break in the wire is inaccessible
within the wiring harness, disconnect
it at both ends and tape both ends.
Lace a new lead of the same gauge
and insulation outside the harness
and connect it to the proper terminals
or pins. Properly tag both ends of all
replacement wires.
Section XXIII. MAINTENANCE OF GENERATOR
AND RECONNECTION ASSEMBLY
4-59.
GENERAL. The generator (figure 4-36) is a
synchronous, brushless device with an integral exciter.
It is directly driven from the engine shaft through a disc
coupling to provide line voltages at any load between no
load and rated load. The reconnection assembly allows
reconnection of generator windings to give specified
output voltage of 120/208 volts or 240/416 volts
operation.
4-60.
RECONNECTION BOARD AND BUSS. (See
figure 4-36.) Inspect for cracks, breaks, corrosion, and
loose mounting. If replacement is required, refer to next
higher level of maintenance.
4-61.
GENERATOR. Inspect for excessive heat
during normal operation, by checking for peeling paint,
excessive noise, smoke, and abnormal odors. Refer to
next higher level of maintenance if overheating exists.
4-62.
BEARING. Inspect the generator bearing for
signs of wear by checking for excessive unusual noise,
smoke, and abnormal odors. If replacement is required,
refer to higher level maintenance.
4-63.
DRIVE PLATE ASSEMBLY. Inspect the drive
plate assembly for distortion, excessive wear, and loose
mounting. If replacement is required, refer to higher
level maintenance.
