(c)
In one step, increase the load
current to the overload current
value specified in table 16-1 (the
increase
in
current
may
be
accomplished
by
any
practical
means; for example, reactively or
using reduced voltage levels).
NOTE
The
frequency
shall
be
maintained at rated conditions,
the load current shall be kept
constant and the load current
shall be balanced equally among
the phases. Simultaneously with
the load current increase, start the
stopwatch.
(d)
Record all load instrumentations
and the time, in seconds, required
for the circuit interrupter to operate.
(e)
The generator set contains an
overload
malfunction
indicator,
check and record its indication.
(f)
Allow the generator set to cool at
rated load for a minimum of 15
minutes.
(g)
Repeat steps (c) through (f) except
that the load current is increased to
the overload current value in Phase
A only. Phase B and C remain at
the rated load current value.
(h)
Repeat step (g) except that the load
is increased to the overload current
value in phase B only. Phases A
and C remain at the rated load
value of current.
(i)
Repeat step (g) except that the load
is increased to the overload current
value in phase C only. Phases A
and B remain at the rated load
value of current.
d.
Results. The data sheets shall show, as a
minimum, whether or not the circuit interrupter
operated, the time(s) required for the interrupter
to operate, the indication of the malfunction
indicator, the overload load conditions and the
stabilization
data.
Compare
the
time(s)
requirements of table 16-1.
16-20. CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER TEST (OVERVOL-
TAGE AND UNDERVOLTAGE).
a.
General. To protect the load from generator
malfunction
(for
example,
overvoltage
or
undervoltage) a circuit interrupter is connected
between the generator voltage reconnection
system and the generator output terminals. A
voltage sensing circuit operates the circuit
interrupter if an overvoltage or an undervoltage
condition occurs and thus protects the load from
a generator malfunction.
b.
Apparatus. Instrumentation for measuring
voltage and frequency shall be as described and
illustrated
in
MIL-HDBK-705.
Resistor(s),
galvanometer
matching
networks,
an
oscillogram (as described and illustrated in MIL-
HDBK-705, Method 106.1, paragraph 106.1.3)
and galvanometers having a minimum flat
frequency response (flat within plus or minus 5
percent) from DC to 3,000 Hz and the voltage
divider transformer network will be required.
c.
Procedure I (Overvoltage).
(1)
Preparation for test.
(a)
Locate and disconnect the input
circuit to the input terminals of the
overvoltage
protective
sensing
circuit and connect the apparatus as
illustrated in figure 512.3-I for one
voltage connection.
