and tapped as close as possible
to the combustion chamber(s).
3.
Lubricating oil sump.
4.
Engine
combustion
air
in
(located at the inlet of the intake
manifold).
(c)
Install
appropriate
pressure
instrumention to measure the following items:
1.
Exhaust
pressure
(combined
exhaust
gases
in
exhaust
manifold).
2.
Intake air manifold pressure
(between
air
filters
and
manifold).
(d)
Obtain and record the barometric
and water vapor pressures (see
MIL-HDBK-705, Method 220.2).
(e)
Bypass the set circuit interrupter.
(f)
Connect the set to a source of fuel
containing a specified fuel required
by the procurement document.
(2)
Test.
(a)
Set governor to zero-droop.
(b)
Start and operate the generator set
and allow it to stabilize at rated
load,
rated
voltage
and
rated
frequency (speed). During this
period, reading of all instruments
including thermal instrumentation
shall be recorded at minimum
intervals
of
10
minutes.
If
necessary, adjustments to the load,
voltage and rated frequency may be
made to maintain rated load at
rated voltage and rated frequency.
However,
adjustments
to
the
voltage and frequency shall be
limited
to
those
adjustments
available
to
the
operator.
Specifically
adjustments
so
the
voltage or frequency adjust devices.
No other adjustments to the voltage
and
frequency
control
systems
should be made. Adjustments to
the load, voltage, or frequency
controls shall be recorded on both
the
data
sheet
and
recording
chart(s).
Stabilization
will
be
considered to have occurred when
four
consecutive
voltage
and
current recordings of the exciter
field either remain unchanged or
have only minor variations about an
equilibrium
conditions
with
no
evident
continued
increase
or
decrease in value after the last
adjustment to the load, voltage, or
frequency has been made.
(c)
Perform this test using resistive
load only. Remove reactive load
after stabilization.
(d)
Alternately
increase
the
load,
voltage and frequency in small
increments until the fuel system
controls are in the maximum fuel
position
as
permitted
by
the
governor control linkage and the
voltage and frequency are within 1
percent of their rated values.
NOTE
Small increments should be taken
to avoid passing the maximum
power at the rated voltage and
frequency point and to avoid
racing and bogging the engine.
