defective diodes are replaced,
repeat step (2), above, to
determine if the generator defect
has been corrected.
(i)
Tag and disconnect the two top
leads at terminals 1 and 2 of
TB210 (14, figure 11-3). Read the
exciter field resistance at terminals
1 and 2 with a Wheatstone bridge.
The exciter stator field resistance
should be 10.7 ±10 percent ohms
at an ambient temperature of 77°F
(25°C).
(j)
Check insulation resistance with
megger between terminals 1 and 2
and the frame (paragraph
11-5a(1)). Reconnect the two
leads.
(k)
Disconnect generator rotor leads
from the rotating diode assembly
and measure the field resistance
with a Wheatstone bridge. The
resistance should be
approximately 1.66 ±10 percent
ohms at an ambient temperature
of 77°F (25°C).
(l)
Megger between field leads and
frame (paragraph 11-5a(1)).
(m)
Disconnect diodes and use a
double Kelvin bridge to read the
resistance between leads on the
exciter rotor. This value should be
0.048 ±10 percent ohms at 77°F
(25°C).
(n)
Check insulation resistance with
megger between exciter armature
leads and frame (paragraph
11-5a(1)).
(o)
Check resistance of surge
protector when disconnected from
one side of generator field. Value
should be 1 megohm or more in
each direction. Check to be sure
no physical damage is evident on
the surge protector.
(p)
Tag and disconnect the twelve
stator
leads
to
the
voltage
reconnection panel and measure
each of the six stator windings with
a
Kelvin
double
bridge.
Resistance should be 0.00237 ±10
percent ohm in each circuit at
ambient
temperature
of
77°F
(25°C).
(q)
Connect all stator leads together
and read between the leads and
the generator frame with a megger
(paragraph 11-5a(1)).
(3)
Stator. Perform the following stator
winding short circuit test.
(a)
Use an inside-type growler, and
test
each
coil
in
the
stator.
Position the growler in the stator
and hold a thin metal strip, similar
to a hacksaw blade, parallel to the
core slots.
(b)
Energize the growler and explore
the core surfaces approximately
one pole distance on each side of
the growler. Continue testing one
core slot at a time until all coils are
tested. If the winding is shorted,
the metal strip will vibrate when
held over the slot containing the
faulty coil.
(c)
If the above test is not met,
proceed with the removal and
repair procedures.
