Make sure generator sets are shut down before performing any electrical
maintenance. Failure to observe this warning could result in severe personal injury
or death.
TEST
1.
Release two clamping catches (11, Figure 4-7) and open switch box cover (1).
2.
Disconnect power cable to be tested from generator set load terminals.
NOTE
Cable leads L1, L2 terminate in switch box at contactor K1 for
Generator 1 (front) and contactor K2 for Generator 2 (rear). N and Ground
leads terminate at switch box load terminals.
3.
Use multimeter to check continuity of each electrical lead in power cable. Each lead should have continuity
between bare end of conductor at generator set load terminal and terminal lug (9). Check for continuity
between lead marked ground and switch box ground load terminal, lead marked N and switch box N load
terminal, lead marked L1 and contactor terminal 1, lead marked L2 and contactor terminal 1. If no continuity,
notify next higher level of maintenance.
