TM 5-6115-593-12TO 35C2-3-463-1b.SingleUnitOperation. Once the engine hasstabilized and is running normally, the loadmay be applied to the main generator G1output terminals through the heavy dutycontacts of motor driven circuit breakerCB2. CB2 closes when relay K22 isenergized through a series circuit whichconsists of various relay contacts of thegenerator fault protection circuit and ACPWR CKT BKR switch S3. With K22energized, the motor of CB2 is activated,closing its contacts and applying mainpower to the load.(1)Output Frequency Regulation. Withthe AC output now applied to the load,the generator output frequency mustbe maintained at either the 50 or 60Hz required by the load. Generator oroutput frequency is controlled byadjusting engine speed (frequency isdirectly proportional to engine speed).A magnet imbedded in the magneticpickup PU1, which is mounted inclose proximity to the flywheel,induces a series of voltage pulses forevery revolution of the engine. Thesevoltage pulses, whose number perminute indicates engine rpm, are sentto governor actuator controller A106.A106 processes and amplifies thesepulses in conjunction with othergenerator load sensing inputs (suchas a generator current and voltage)and generates a control voltageproportionate to engine speed andgenerator output requirements. Thisoutput is applied to governor actuatorsolenoid L101. In response, L101varies the amount of control placedon the fuel injection pump by theelectro hydraulic governor actuator.The fuel injection pump regulatesengine speed by adjusting theengine's rate of fuel consumption.(2)Output Voltage Regulation.Generator G1 output voltage isindirectly controlled by the amount ofcurrent flowing in the generator'sexciter field. The extent of this controlis determined by voltage regulatorVR101 which senses generator outputvoltage. The source of the controlcurrent is a permanent magnetgenerator mounted on the same shaftas the main generator exciter. Afterbeing made proportional to the G1output voltage by VR101, thepermanent magnet generator output(in addition to supplying short circuitcurrent) is used to determine exciterfield current. A motor-drivenpotentiometer R101 (controlled byVOLT ADJ switch S6) is used tomanually adjust main generatoroutput voltage. This potentiometerwhich is driven by B5, is connected toVR 101.c.ParallelOperation. To increase the totalavailable power, the generator set may beoperated in parallel with as many as threeadditional generator sets. During theparallel mode of operation the phase,frequency, and amplitude of the generatorsets must be made to coincide. Amplitudescan be made to coincide by manuallyadjusting and comparing the outputs of thevarious generator sets.The phase sequence of one generator setmust first be determined and then comparedwith the phase sequence of the set to beparalleled. This is accomplished by PHASESEQUENCE switch S103 and relays K103-1and K103-2. If the phase sequence of thegenerator windings are 1-2-3, relay K10-13will energize, closing its 4-5 contactscausing the 1-2-3 indicator lamp DS41 tolight. If the phase sequence is 1-3-2, relayK103-2 will energize and the 1-3-2 indicatorlamp DS42 will light. Switch S103determines whether the generator windingsor the generator buss is to be monitored.After phase sequence has been established,the operator must set switch S8 toPARALLEL OPERATION, therebyenergizing relay K23 and1-27
