TEST
1.
Release two clamping catches (11, figure 4-10) and open switch box cover (1).
2.
Disconnect power cable to be tested from generator set load terminals.
NOTE
Cable leads L1, L2, and L3 terminate in switch box at contractor K1 for Generator 1 (front)
and contractor K2 for Generator 2 (rear). LO 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 LO and switch box LO load terminal, lead
marked L1 and contractor terminal Al, lead marked L2 and contractor terminal B1, and lead marked L3 and
contractor terminal C1. If no continuity, notify next higher level of maintenance.
