TM 9-6115-662-13&Pd.Refer to paragraph 2-5.3.1 (steps c. through i.), to start a generator set and bring it on line.e.On operating generator set (generator set 1) position UNIT-PARALLEL switch (16) to PARALLEL.f.Start generator set 2 and adjust voltage and frequency to match generator set 1.g.At switch box, set generator set 2 ON-OFF switch (3 or 6) to ON (Switch box STATUS & ON-LINElights for both generators should be lit).h.At generator set 2 control panel:(1) Set UNIT-PARALLEL switch (16) to PARALLEL. Both SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS (12)should be going bright to dark together.CAUTIONIf SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS on generator set 2 do not go bright anddark in unison, the phasing is wrong. Shut down generator sets andcheck that load cables are connected properly. Failure to observe thiscaution can result in damage to generator sets.(2) Increase frequency until SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS (12) blink together one or more times persecond.(3) Decrease frequency until SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS (12) blink together once every 3-4seconds.CAUTIONCheck that load contactor at load is open before attempting to placegenerators on line. Failure to observe this caution can result in damageto generator sets.(4) When both SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS (12) are dark, position and hold AC CIRCUIT INTER-RUPTER switch (13) of generator set 2 in the CLOSED position until indicator light (14) goesout. SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS (12) should go out (both generators are now operating inparallel with no load).i.Rotate FREQUENCY adjust potentiometer (15) of generator set 1 until percent power meter (10)reads approximately “O”.j.Rotate VOLTAGE adjust potentiometer (11) of generator set 1 until AC AMPERES meter (9) readsapproximately “O”.k.Close the load contactor at the load.2-38
