MEP-003A   is   a   10   kilowatt,   60   Hertz   Generator The   MEP-112A   is   a   10   kilowatt,   400   Hertz   Gen- used   primarily   for   operating   control   and   excitation and   (2)   the   ac   output   system   to   supply   power   to   the load. erator   Set.   Both   consist   of   a   revolving   field   alter- nator   powered   by   an   air   cooled   diesel   engine.   See figures   1-1   and   1-2   for   the   location   of   major   com- ponent.   These   sets   are   not   designed   for   parallel operation. a.   Engine. (1)   The   engine   powering   this   Generator   Set   is   a 4  cylinder,  4  cycle  air  cooled  engine,  with  a  140  cubic inch   (cu.   in.)   displacement.   A   mechanical   governor keeps   engine   speed   at   1800   revolutions   per   minute (RPM)   under   rated   load   conditions   for   the   MEP-003A and  at  2000  RPM  for  the  MEP-112A. (2)   Fuel   is   supplied   either   from   this   unit’s   self- contained   fuel   tank   or,   by   using   an   adapter,   directly from  a  55  gallon  drum  or  other  source.  The  fuel  is filtered  by  two  cartridge  type  fuel  filters  and  a  single fuel   strainer,   Two   electric,   self-priming   fuel   pumps pump   fuel   to   the   fuel   injection   pump   which   delivers the   fuel   at   high   pressure   to   fuel   injection   nozzles   in the  cylinder  head.  When  auxiliary  source.  of  fuel  is used,   three   electric   fuel   pumps   are   used. (3)   Two   12   volt   “wet   cell”   batteries   in   series supply   power   for   a   24   volt   electric   starter   and   for glow   plugs,   located   in   the   cylinder   head,   and   two   air heaters   located   in   the   intake   manifold,   used   for   cold weather   starting.   An   alternator   located   beneath   the blower  wheel  and  completely  separate  from  the  m  ain alternator   automatically   recharges   these   batteries when   the   engine   is   operating. b.   Generator. The   generator   on   the   MEP-O03A   is   a   four   pole,   re- volving   field   type.   The   generator   on   the   MEP-112A is   a   24   pole,   revolving   field   type,   Alternating   current, supplied   by   the   exciter   assembly,   is   rectified   and used   to   create   the   revolving   field. A   “solid-state”   voltage   regulator   assembly   auto- matically   adjusts   this   current   to   obtain   a   constant (±3%)   voltage   in   the   main   stator   (output)   windings. c.  Controls. All   operator   controls   and   indicator   gauges   necessary for   running   the   engine   Generator   Set   are   located   on the   control   panel.   In   addition,   an   oil   pressure   gage is   located   on   the   engine   and   a   fuel   level   gage   is located   on   the   fuel   tank.   The   speed   control   is   lo- cated  below  the  control  panel. Controls  for  selecting  output  voltage  are  located  on the   output   control   box. d.   Generator   Set   Electrical   System   (see   schematic figure   1-7). (1)   General.   The   generator   set’s   electrical   sys- tem  consists  of  two  distinct  systems  (1)  the  dc  system The   dc   source   consists   of   a   24   volt   battery   set   (BT1 and   BT2)   that   is   kept   charged   by   a   battery   charging alternator   (G2)   and   voltage   regulator   rectifier   as- sembly  (A5).  Fuse  (F1)  protects  the  alternator  from overload.   Circuit   breaker   (CB2)   protects   the   battery charging   system   from   overload.   Slave   receptacle   (J15) permits   an   alternate   external   supply   to   be   connected to  the  battery  circuit. (2)  Operation,  Placing  MASTER  SWITCH  (S1)  into  the PREHEAT   position,   the   preheat   relay   K2   is   activated   to energize  the  heater  elements  (HR1  and  HR2)  and  the  engine glow plugs (HR3, HR4, HR5, and HR6). Placing   the   MASTER   SWITCH   in   the   PRIME-RUN- AUXILIARY   position   activates   the   fuel   pumps   E2   and E3  as  well  as  the  auxiliary  fuel  pump  El.  If  the  fuel level   is   down,   the   fuel   level   switch   S3   will   be   closed and   the   auxiliary   fuel   solenoid   will   actuate   permit- ting  fuel  to  be  pumped  into  the  tank. Placing   the   MASTER   SWITCH   (S1)   into   the   PRIME- RUN   position   maintains   power   to   the   main   fuel   pumps but  deactivates  the  auxiliary  fuel  pump. (a)   Start.   Placing   the   MASTER   SWITCH   (Sl) into   the   start   position   maintains   the   fuel   pump   cir- cuits   and   the   preheat   circuits   to   the   glow   plugs   (HR3, HR4,   HR5   and   HR6)   as   well   as   to   energize   the   gover- nor  solenoid  (K5)  and  start  relay  (K1).  The  crank  re- lay   (K3)   is   energized,   in   turn   energizing   the   start solenoid   (K6)   and   activating   the   starter   (B1).   The governor   brings   the   engine   to   speed,   building   up   oil pressure   and   closing   oil   pressure   switch   (S5).   The exciter   field   is   flashed   during   this   starting   procedure. (b)  Run.  Placing  the  MASTER  SWITCH  (S1)  in  the PRIME-RUN   position   keeps   the   governor   solenoid   (K5) energized thru the now closed oil pressure switch (S5) and fuel will be supplied to the engine as long as the oil pressure is nor- mal and the  high temperature  switch (S4) is not activated by high temperature. (c)  Stop.  Placing  the  MASTER  SWITCH  (S1)  in the   OFF   position   de-energizes   the   governor   solenoid (K5)   shutting   off   fuel   to   stop   the   engine.   High   temper- ature   or   low   oil   pressure   will   also   shut   the.   engine down. (3)   AC   Circuitry.   The   main   alternator   (G1)   is wound   with   six      pairs   of   coils   that   may   be   connected by   the   AC   Reconnect   switch   (S6)   into   various   com- binations,  the  output  of  which  is  available  at  the  load terminal   board   (TB1).   Circuit   breaker   (CB1)   protects the   alternator   from   overloads.   The   volt/ampere   se- lect  switch  (S8)  permits  switching  voltmeter  (MS)  and ammeter  (M4)  to  read  the  load  current  and  voltage for   the   various   arrangement   of   outputs. Voltage   regulator   (A2)   and   current   voltage   trans- former   CVT1   monitors   the   alternator   output   voltage 1 -2 Change   4
