TM 5-6115-593-34NAVFAC P-8-631-34TO-35C2-3-463-2(c)In one step, increase the loadcurrent to the overload currentvalue specified in table 16-1 (theincrease in current may beaccomplished by any practicalmeans; for example, reactively orusing reduced voltage levels).NOTEThe frequency shall bemaintained at rated conditions,the load current shall be keptconstant and the load currentshall be balanced equally amongthe phases. Simultaneously withthe load current increase, start thestopwatch.(d)Record all load instrumentationsand the time, in seconds, requiredfor the circuit interrupter to operate.(e)The generator set contains anoverload malfunction indicator,check and record its indication.(f)Allow the generator set to cool atrated load for a minimum of 15minutes.(g)Repeat steps (c) through (f) exceptthat the load current is increased tothe overload current value in PhaseA only. Phase B and C remain atthe rated load current value.(h)Repeat step (g) except that the loadis increased to the overload currentvalue in phase B only. Phases Aand C remain at the rated loadvalue of current.(i)Repeat step (g) except that the loadis increased to the overload currentvalue in phase C only. Phases Aand B remain at the rated loadvalue of current.d.Results. The data sheets shall show, as aminimum, whether or not the circuit interrupteroperated, the time(s) required for the interrupterto operate, the indication of the malfunctionindicator, the overload load conditions and thestabilization 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 generatormalfunction (for example, overvoltage orundervoltage) a circuit interrupter is connectedbetween the generator voltage reconnectionsystem and the generator output terminals. Avoltage sensing circuit operates the circuitinterrupter if an overvoltage or an undervoltagecondition occurs and thus protects the load froma generator malfunction.b.Apparatus.Instrumentation for measuringvoltage and frequency shall be as described andillustrated in MIL-HDBK-705. Resistor(s),galvanometer matchingnetworks, anoscillogram (as described and illustrated in MIL-HDBK-705, Method 106.1, paragraph 106.1.3)and galvanometers having a minimum flatfrequency response (flat within plus or minus 5percent) from DC to 3,000 Hz and the voltagedivider transformer network will be required.c.ProcedureI (Overvoltage).(1)Preparation for test.(a)Locate and disconnect the inputcircuit to the input terminals of theovervoltage protective sensingcircuit and connect the apparatus asillustrated in figure 512.3-I for onevoltage connection.16-16
