It is directly drivenfrom the engine through a disc coupling. The bearingrequires no lubricant and can be replaced without removingeither the engine or generator. The excitation systemconsists of an exciter and voltage regulator. The excitorhas a rotating armature and rotating rectifier. Thereconnection box assembly provides access forreconnecting generator phase windings through currenttransformers. Windings of each phase may be connectedin series or parallel on buss bars. Reconnection box alsoprovides a means of converting the generator set from120/208 volt to 240/416 volt operation.11-2. RECONNECTION BOARD AND BUSS BARSREMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT.a.Removal.(1)Remove front panel (12, figure 11-1,sheet 1) by removing screws (1),washers (2 and 3), and hook (4).(2)Remove panel support (13).(3)Disconnect, tag, and remove harness(71) and (73) and power cables (74).(4)Remove buss bars and jumper bars (38thru (45) by removing their attachinghardware.(5)Remove reconnection board assembly(15, figure 11-1, sheet 2) by removingthe 14 screws (16), nuts (19), andwashers (17 and 18).b.Replacement.(1)Replace reconnection board assembly(15) by replacing the 14 screws (16),nuts (19), and washers (17 and 18).(2)Replace buss bars and jumper bars (38thru 45, figure 11-1, sheet 1) by replacingtheir attaching hardware.(3)Replace harness (71 and 73) and powercables (74).(4)Replace panel support (13).(5)Replace front panel (12) by replacingscrews (1), washers (2 and 3), and hook(4).c.LimitSwitch.(1)Test. Using an ohmmeter test limitswitch S120 (14, figure 11-1, sheet 2) forcontinuity. Switch should have a distinctclicking action when operated from oneposition to another. Replace switch if nocontinuity is indicated.(2)Replacement.(a)Remove limit switch S120 (14) byremoving locknut and washer thatsecures switch to reconnectionboard (15).(b)Install new switch on reconnectionboard (100) and secure locknutand washer.11-3. CURRENT TRANSFORMER REMOVAL ANDREPLACEMENT.a.Removal.(1)Remove reconnection board and bussbars, par. 11-2 a.(2)Remove current transformer assembly(22, figure 11-1, sheet 2) by removingten screws (20) and washers (21).11-1
