b.
Single Unit Operation. Once the engine has
stabilized and is running normally, the load
may be applied to the main generator G1
output terminals through the heavy duty
contacts of motor driven circuit breaker
CB2. CB2 closes when relay K22 is
energized through a series circuit which
consists of various relay contacts of the
generator fault protection circuit and AC
PWR CKT BKR switch S3. With K22
energized, the motor of CB2 is activated,
closing its contacts and applying main
power to the load.

Output Frequency Regulation. With
the AC output now applied to the load,
the generator output frequency must
be maintained at either the 50 or 60
Hz required by the load. Generator or
output frequency is controlled by
adjusting engine speed (frequency is
directly proportional to engine speed).
A magnet imbedded in the magnetic
pickup PU1, which is mounted in
close
proximity
to
the
flywheel,
induces a series of voltage pulses for
every revolution of the engine. These
voltage pulses, whose number per
minute indicates engine rpm, are sent
to governor actuator controller A106.
A106 processes and amplifies these
pulses
in
conjunction
with
other
generator load sensing inputs (such
as a generator current and voltage)
and
generates
a
control
voltage
proportionate to engine speed and
generator output requirements. This
output is applied to governor actuator
solenoid L101. In response, L101
varies the amount of control placed
on the fuel injection pump by the
electro hydraulic governor actuator.
The fuel injection pump regulates
engine
speed
by
adjusting
the
engine's rate of fuel consumption.

Output
Voltage
Regulation.
Generator
G1
output
voltage
is
indirectly controlled by the amount of
current flowing in the generator's
exciter field. The extent of this control
is determined by voltage regulator
VR101 which senses generator output
voltage. The source of the control
current
is
a
permanent
magnet
generator mounted on the same shaft
as the main generator exciter. After
being made proportional to the G1
output
voltage
by
VR101,
the
permanent magnet generator output
(in addition to supplying short circuit
current) is used to determine exciter
field
current.
A
motor-driven
potentiometer R101 (controlled by
VOLT ADJ switch S6) is used to
manually
adjust
main
generator
output voltage. This potentiometer
which is driven by B5, is connected to
VR 101.
c.
Parallel Operation. To increase the total
available power, the generator set may be
operated in parallel with as many as three
additional generator sets. During the
parallel mode of operation the phase,
frequency, and amplitude of the generator
sets must be made to coincide. Amplitudes
can be made to coincide by manually
adjusting and comparing the outputs of the
various generator sets.
The phase sequence of one generator set
must first be determined and then compared
with the phase sequence of the set to be
paralleled. This is accomplished by PHASE
SEQUENCE switch S103 and relays K103-1
and K103-2. If the phase sequence of the
generator windings are 1-2-3, relay K10-13
will energize, closing its 4-5 contacts
causing the 1-2-3 indicator lamp DS41 to
light. If the phase sequence is 1-3-2, relay
K103-2 will energize and the 1-3-2 indicator
lamp
DS42
will
light.
Switch
S103
determines whether the generator windings
or the generator buss is to be monitored.
After phase sequence has been established,
the
operator
must
set
switch
S8
to
PARALLEL
OPERATION,
thereby
energizing relay K23 and
