TM5-6115-593-34NAVFAC P-8-631-34TO-35C2-3-463-2defective diodes are replaced,repeat step (2), above, todetermine if the generator defecthas been corrected.(i)Tag and disconnect the two topleads at terminals 1 and 2 ofTB210 (14, figure 11-3). Read theexciter field resistance at terminals1 and 2 with a Wheatstone bridge.The exciter stator field resistanceshould be 10.7 ±10 percent ohmsat an ambient temperature of 77°F(25°C).(j)Check insulation resistance withmegger between terminals 1 and 2and the frame (paragraph11-5a(1)). Reconnect the twoleads.(k)Disconnect generator rotor leadsfrom the rotating diode assemblyand measure the field resistancewith a Wheatstone bridge. Theresistance should beapproximately 1.66 ±10 percentohms at an ambient temperatureof 77°F (25°C).(l)Megger between field leads andframe (paragraph 11-5a(1)).(m)Disconnect diodes and use adouble Kelvin bridge to read theresistance between leads on theexciter rotor. This value should be0.048 ±10 percent ohms at 77°F(25°C).(n)Check insulation resistance withmegger between exciter armatureleads and frame (paragraph11-5a(1)).(o)Check resistance of surgeprotector when disconnected fromone side of generator field. Valueshould be 1 megohm or more ineach direction. Check to be sureno physical damage is evident onthe surge protector.(p)Tag and disconnect the twelvestator leads to the voltagereconnection panel and measureeach of the six stator windings witha Kelvin double bridge.Resistance should be 0.00237 ±10percent ohm in each circuit atambient temperature of 77°F(25°C).(q)Connect all stator leads togetherand read between the leads andthe generator frame with a megger(paragraph 11-5a(1)).(3)Stator. Perform the following statorwinding short circuit test.(a)Use an inside-type growler, andtest each coil in the stator.Position the growler in the statorand hold a thin metal strip, similarto a hacksaw blade, parallel to thecore slots.(b)Energize the growler and explorethe core surfaces approximatelyone pole distance on each side ofthe growler. Continue testing onecore slot at a time until all coils aretested. If the winding is shorted,the metal strip will vibrate whenheld over the slot containing thefaulty coil.(c)If the above test is not met,proceed with the removal andrepair procedures.11-9
