the
following
engine
operating
conditions:
oil
pressure,
oil
temperature, water temperature and
fuel level. Transmitters MT1 through
MT4 which are connected to gauges
M1 through M4, are actually variable
resistors whose resistance changes as
a function of the parameter being
monitored. Once the engine starts all
of these circuits are activated through
normally open contacts 3 and 4 of
relay K1. Meter M5 is an elapsed
time meter which is energized by K1
contacts only when the engine is
running.
(3)
Fuel Transfer. Prolonged operation of
the engine generator set is obtained
by the use of additional fuel tanks.
The transfer of fuel from these tanks
to
the
day
tank
is
controlled
automatically by fuel level switches
FL1 and FL2. FL2 senses when day
tank fuel falls below a certain level
and closes to energize relay K20
through FUEL PUMP AUTO-OFF
switch S9 and high-level switch FL1.
With K20 energized, motor B1 starts
pumping fuel to the day tank. When
full, FL1 opens, deenergizing K20
which subsequently stops motor B1.
FUEL PUMP indicator lamp DS1
connected across B1, lights anytime
fuel is being pumped.
(4)
Battle Short. During battle conditions,
the requirement of continued engine
operation may override the need to
protect the engine. BATTLE SHORT
switch S7 when set to ON, energizes
selfholding
relay
K50.
Closed
contacts 3 and 4 of K50 bypass the
fault-sensing contacts of low fuel relay
K8, water temperature switch WT1, oil
temperature switch OT1, oil pressure
switch OP1, and overvoltage relay
K32.

Miscellaneous.
The
following
subparagraphs briefly describe those DC
circuits not directly related to engine
operation:
(1)
BATTERY CHRG AMPS meter M21
monitors battery charging current. It
is connected in series with the battery
charger.
(2)
BATTERY CHRG VOLTS meters M20
monitors
DC
electrical
system
voltage.
(3)
The digital CLOCK M111 indicates
daily time. Switch S52 (50 Hz)
enables clock operation at either 50 or
60 Hertz.
(4)
The panel lights are controlled by
PANEL LT SW S11.
(5)
24V
DC
CONTROL
CIRCUIT
BREAKER
CB1
controls
the
application of 24V DC to the DC
Electrical Control System and may be
used to shut down the engine during
an emergency.
(6)
OPERATION-MAINTENANCE
LOCKOUT switch S2 prevents the
engine from being started during
maintenance. It may also be used for
emergency shut down.
1-15. AC POWER GENERATION AND CONTROL
SYSTEM. (See FO-2.)
a.
Introduction. The purpose of the engine
generator set is to produce an electrical
output. To accomplish this end, an AC 3-
phase, brushless-type generator is directly
coupled to the diesel engine. The AC power
generator and control system monitors and
controls the generator set to ensure that a
constant output in terms of amplitude,
phase, and frequency is maintained under
all permissible load conditions and modes of
operation. The following paragraphs explain
and describe the various functions of this
control system.
