CHAPTER 5
MAINTENANCE OF CONTROL CUBICLE
5-1. GENERAL. The control cubicle is located at the
rear (generator end) of the generator set. It contains
two control panels, the engine control panel, and the
generator control panel. These instruments, and other
equipment necessary to start, operate, and monitor the
generator set. The control cubicle is removable from
the generator set as a single unit.
WARNING
BEFORE
STARTING
ANY
MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE,
SET
MAINTENANCE LOCKOUT SWITCH TO
LOCKOUT. DISCONNECT NEGATIVE
CABLE FROM BATTERIES. REMOVE
EXTERNAL
POWER
BY
OPENING
CB101 (EXTERNAL POWER CIRCUIT
BREAKER)
AND
DISCONNECTING
POWER CABLE FROM RECEPTACLE
J101 (120V RECEPTACLE).
5-2. TRANSDUCERS A103, A107, AND A108.
Transducer A103 is mounted on the rear panel of the
control cubicle enclosure (31, figure 5-1, sheet 1).
Transducers A107 and A108 (thermal watt converters,
82, figure 5-1, sheet 2) are mounted at the base of the
control cubicle.
a.
Testing.
(1)
Remove transducers A107 and A108
according to paragraph 5-2 b and test
as follows:
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGES PRESENT DURING TEST.
DEATH
OR SEVERE BURNS MAY RESULT IF
PERSONNEL FAIL PRECAUTIONS
(a)
Connect
transducer
(either
A107 or A108) as shown in
figure 5-2, using test equipment
as shown.
(b)
Adjust T1, T2, and T3 to their
minimum position, fully counter-
clockwise.
(c)
Close S1 and open S2 and S3.
(d)
Energize
120/208V
AC.
3-
phase, 4 wire, 60 Hz power
source.
(e)
Adjust T1 until 0.7 ampere is
indicated on ammeter A1. At
this point, the percentage of
RATING METER shall indicate
33 percent.
(f)
With S1 closed, close switch
S2, and adjust T2 until 0.7
ampere
is
indicated
on
ammeter A2. The percentage
of
RATING
METER
shall
indicate 66 percent.
(g)
With S1 and S2 closed, close
S3. Adjust T3 until 0.7 ampere
is indicated on ammeter A3.
The percentage of RATING
METER
shall
indicate
100
percent.
(h)
If requirements of steps (e), (f),
and (g) are not met, replace the
transducers.
(2)
Transducers A103. This transducer
and generator set frequency meter
are a matched set, and must be
tested as a set. Refer to the
Operator/Crew
and
Organizational
level
Maintenance
manual
and
remove frequency meter from the
generator panel of the control cubicle.
(a)
Connect a test setup as shown
in figure 5-3.
(b)
Vary the frequency from lowest
scale
reading
to
full
scale
reading at 120 volts and at
frequencies between 48 and 53
Hz, the generator set meter
shall read within 1 percent of
the generated frequency (to the
left);
at
120
volts
and
at
frequencies
