low and deenergizes when it does.
Contacts 7 and 8 of K11 open
deenergizing the CB2 trip coil which in
turn, disconnects the generator from
the load. Simultaneous with this
action, K11 contacts 3 and 4 close
activating
relay
K33
and
UNDERVOLTAGE
indicator
lamp
DS33. A false undervoltage condition
will, of course, exist while the engine
is shut down or is in the process of
picking up speed. To prevent the
needless disconnecting of generator
G1, relay K11 contacts 3 and 4 have
been placed in series with normally
open contacts 7 and 9 of K52. Relay
K52 will not energize until engine
speed is in excess of 1200 rpm and
speed switch SS2 closes.

Reverse Power Protection. While in a
parallel mode of operation, an out-of-
phase or an undervoltage situation
could cause the current of one
generator
to
feed
the
second
generator. Such a condition might
either burn out the second generator
or cause it to "motor" (the generator
functions as motor). Relay K112
activates upon sensing a reverse-
power
condition
and
through
its
normally open contacts 3 and 5,
energizes K34 and lights REVERSE
POWER indicator lamp DS34. Relay
K34 normally closed contacts, in
series
with
the
generator
circuit
breaker control circuit, open and
subsequently
disconnect
the
generator from the main buss.
(4)
Overload Protection. If the output
current of any phase winding of G1
exceeds
an
amount
that
might
possibly be harmful to the generator,
thermal relay K114, after a short
period
of
time,
activates.
Consequently, relay K35 and indicator
lamp
DS35
both
energize,
and
normally closed contacts of K34 open
to
interrupt
the
generator
circuit
breaker control circuit. As before,
when this occurs, the generator output
is immediately disconnected from the
main buss. Generator G1 is capable
of safe operation while overloaded for
short periods of time. This accounts
for the delayed operation of K114.
(5)
Short Circuit Protection. In the event
of a short circuit, the generator must
be immediately disconnected from the
load. Relay K113, upon sensing
excessive current, will energize and
close its contacts 7 and 8; then, relay
K36 and short circuit indicator lamp
DS36 will energize. Normally closed
contacts of K36, in series with the
generator
circuit
breaker
control
circuit, open and consequently CB2
disconnects the generator from the
main buss.
(6)
Generator Output Monitoring. The
voltage, current, frequency, power,
KVAR, and power factor of the output
must be continually monitored to
ensure proper use of the generator.
The
voltage
and
current
are
measured by voltmeter M101 and
ammeter M102 and switched, as
required,
by
S101
and
S102
respectively
from
one
generator
winding to another. Output frequency
is monitored by a circuit consisting of
A103 and M103. A103 is a frequency
converter which produces a voltage
analog of the output frequency. This
voltage is applied to and metered by
M103 which indicates the output
frequency in Hertz. Power (kilowatts)
and
KVAR
(kilovolts-amperes
reactive) are measured by KW meter
M107 and KVAR meter M108 in
conjunction with converters A107 and
A108, respectively. A107 and A108
convert current and voltage into an
output
