3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR ELECTRICAL POWER EQUIPMENT WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can KILL. Do not touch live electrical parts. ELECTRIC ARC FLASH can injure eyes, burn skin, cause equipment damage, and ignite combustible material. DO NOT use power cables to break load and prevent tools from causing short circuits. IMPROPER PHASE CONNECTION, PARALLELING, OR USE can damage this and attached equipment. Important: - Protect all operating personnel. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the Operating/Instruction Manual before installing, operating, or servicing the equipment. Keep the manual available for future use by all operators. A. GENERAL Equipment that supplies electrical power can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment or property. The operator must strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions. Safe practices have been developed from past experience in the use of power source equipment. While certain practices below apply only to electrically-powered equipment, other practices apply to engine-driven equipment, and some practices to both. B. SHOCK PREVENTION Bare conductors, or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically-live equipment can fatally shock a person. Have a certified electrician verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn what terminals and parts are electrically HOT. Avoid hot spots on machine. Use proper safety clothing, procedures, and test equipment. The electrical resistance of the body is decreased when wet, permitting dangerous currents to flow through it. When inspecting or servicing equipment, do not work in damp areas. Stand on a dry rubber mat or dry wood, use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided. Keep clothing dry, and never work alone 1. Installation and Grounding of Electrically Powered Equipment Equipment driven by electric motors (rather than by diesel or gasoline engines) must be installed and maintained in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or other applicable codes. A power disconnect switch or circuit breaker must be located at the equipment. Check the nameplate for voltage, frequency, and phase requirements. If only 3-phase power is available, connect any single-phase rated equipment to only two wires of the 3-phase line. DO NOT CONNECT the equipment grounding conductor (lead) to the third live wire of the 3-phase line, as this makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, which can cause a fatal shock. Always connect the grounding lead, if supplied in a power line cable, to the grounded switch box or building ground. If not provided, use a separate grounding lead. Ensure that the current (amperage) capacity of the grounding lead will be adequate for the worst fault current situation. Refer to the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 for details. Do not remove plug ground prongs. Use correctly mating receptacles. 2. Output Cables and Terminals Inspect cables frequently for damage to the insulation and the connectors. Replace or repair cracked or worn cables immediately. Do not overload cables. Do not touch output terminal while equipment is energized. 3. Service and Maintenance This equipment must be maintained in good electrical and mechanical condition to avoid hazards stemming from disrepair. Report any equipment defect or safety hazard to the supervisor and discontinue use of the equipment until its safety has been assured. Repairs should be made by qualified personnel only. Before inspecting or servicing electrically-powered equipment, take the following precautions: Nov 30/93 Safety Warnings Page 1

4 a. Shut OFF all power at the disconnecting switch or line breaker before inspecting or servicing the equipment. b. Lock switch OPEN (or remove line fuses) so that power cannot be turned on accidentally. c. Disconnect power to equipment if it is out of service. d. If troubleshooting must be done with the unit energized, have another person present who is trained in turning off the equipment and providing or calling for first aid. C. FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION Fire and explosion are caused by electrical short circuits, combustible material near engine exhaust piping, misuse of batteries and fuel, or unsafe operating or fueling conditions. 1. Electrical Short Circuits and Overloads Overloaded or shorted equipment can become hot enough to cause fires by self destruction or by causing nearby combustibles to ignite. For electrically-powered equipment, provide primary input protection to remove short circuited or heavily overloaded equipment from the line. 2. Batteries Batteries may explode and/or give off flammable hydrogen gas. Acid and arcing from a ruptured battery can cause fires and additional failures. When servicing,do not smoke, cause sparking, or use open flame near the battery. 3. Engine Fuel Use only approved fuel container or fueling system. Fires and explosions can occur if the fuel tank is not grounded prior to or during fuel transfer. Shut unit DOWN before removing fuel tank cap. DO NOT completely fill tank, because heat from the equipment may cause fuel expansion overflow. Remove all spilled fuel IMMEDIATELY, including any that penetrates the unit. After clean-up, open equipment doors and blow fumes away with compressed air. D. TOXIC FUME PREVENTION Carbon monoxide - Engine exhaust fumes can kill and cause health problems. Pipe or vent the exhaust fumes to a suitable exhaust duct or outdoors. Never locate engine exhausts near intake ducts of air conditioners. E. BODILY INJURY PREVENTION Serious injury can result from contact with fans inside some equipment. Shut DOWN such equipment for inspection and routine maintenance. When equipment is in operation, use extreme care in doing necessary trouble-shooting and adjustment. Do not remove guards while equipment is operating. F. MEDICAL AND FIRST AID TREATMENT First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available for each shift for immediate treatment of all injury victims. Electric shock victims should be checked by a physician and taken to a hospital immediately if any abnormal signs are observed. EMERGENCY FIRST AID Call physician immediately. Seek additional assistance. Use First Aid techniques recommended by American Red Cross until medical help arrives. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, give oxygen, if available, and have victim lie down. FOR ELECTRI- CAL SHOCK, turn off power. Remove victim; if not breathing, begin artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If no detectable pulse, begin external heart massage. CALL EMERGENCY RESCUE SQUAD IMMEDIATELY. G. EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONARY LABELS Inspect all precautionary labels on the equipment monthly. Order and inspect all labels that cannot be easily read.

11 SECTION 2. DESCRIPTION 1.General A. This voltage regulator (Figure 1) is designed to provide 1% voltage regulation for all loads up to 100% of rated load on a three-phase, four-wire, 115/200-volt, 400-Hz brushless alternator. This regulator provides field excitation power as required to meet varying alternator load conditions to hold the alternator voltage constant. B. The voltage regulator consists of two basic interconnected assemblies: (1) Line Drop Compensator Assembly (2) Voltage Regulator PC Assembly C. Any deviation of the alternator voltage from its set, regulated level is sensed at the voltage regulator PC board. The sensing signal is compared to a reference signal, and, with associated circuitry, varies the field power supplied to the rotary exciter. 2. Components Refer to Figure 1. The line drop compensator assembly (5) and the voltage regulator PC board assembly, (4) and (2), are mounted on a chassis along with a terminal board (10) and 19-pin receptacle connector (11). The PC board assembly consists of the PC board itself (4) and its protective cover (2). A. Line Drop Compensator Circuit Components (1) Refer to Schematic Diagram and Connection Diagram in Chapter 4. The line drop voltage compensation circuit consists of: (a) A current transformer (T1, T2, T3) on each phase of the load circuit. (b) A fixed inductance (L6, L7, L8), and variable resistance (R6) in series with each of the phase lines leading to the voltage detection circuit. (c) A toggle switch (S1) for bypassing the line drop compensator. (d) A variable resistance (R7) in series with each current transformer input to the regulator. (e) A fixed resistance (R3, R4, R5) in parallel with each current transformer. (2) The current transformers detect the magnitude and power factor of current flowing through the power cables from the alternator to its load and feed a signal into the resistance and inductance ahead of the voltage detection circuit opposing the voltage sensed by that circuit. The voltage actually sensed by the voltage detection circuit is therefore lower than the actual alternator voltage by an amount proportional to the magnitude and power factor of the load current and thus proportional to the voltage drop between the alternator and its load. The regulator output increases slightly so that the alternator output voltage is equal to the regulated voltage plus the voltage drop in the lines. The variable resistances may be adjusted to match exactly the impedence of the power cables carrying the load current. Nov 30/ Page 1

15 SECTION 3. INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION FOR USE 1. Installation A. General (1) This voltage regulator is designed primarily for drawer-type mounting. However, it is not attitude sensitive and may be mounted in any position without affecting its operation. In some installations it is mounted in what appears to be a backward position, which may make reading the instruction plate for cable compensation adjustment somewhat difficult. (2) The regulator does not dissipate large amounts of power, but certain components, especially the line drop compensator rheostats and regulator power transistor, need a reasonable amount of air for convection cooling. For this reason, the regulator should not be mounted in a small airtight enclosure which would prevent air circulation around the line drop chassis assembly. (3) Four mounting holes (one in each corner of the main chassis) are provided for attaching the regulator. Position the regulator in its mounted location and install with appropriate attaching hardware (nuts and/or screws, and washers) B. Connections All electrical connections to the regulator are made through a nineteen pin receptacle connector (1-2, Fig. 1) which is bracket mounted on the chassis. 2. Preparation for Use A. No special preparation is necessary to place the regulator in service other than the following checks and inspections: (1) Check all terminal lug type connections for security. (2) Check all plug and receptacle type connectors to make certain they are firmly mated. B. It may be necessary to adjust a new regulator at initial start-up after installation. (See Chapter 2, Section 4).

17 SECTION 4. OPERATION 1. Operating Procedures A. Operating procedures, as such, are not applicable to the solid state voltage regulator because it requires no start, stop, or operating instructions. See Chapter 2, Section 4 for initial start-up adjustments and procedures. B. Make certain the line drop compensator switch (1-2; 5, Fig. 1) is in the ON position when operating the generator set.

19 CHAPTER 2. MAINTENANCE SECTION 1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1. Sequence and Theory of Operation A description of the sequence of events, which occur when the solid state regulator is in operation, is presented here to give maintenance personnel a better understanding of how and why the unit operates, and thus assist them in the adjustment and troubleshooting of the equipment. A. When the machine is started, the rotary exciter is excited from alternator residual magnetism through the starting relay and the half-wave rectifier bridge, both located on the voltage regulator PC board assembly. As the rotary exciter voltage increases, alternator excitation increases and the alternator voltage builds up. When this voltage becomes high enough, the build-up relay switches the voltage regulator into the circuit. The sensing circuit of the voltage regulator PC then compares the input voltage to a reference voltage and adjusts the field power of the rotary exciter to bring the voltage into regulation limits. B. The voltage at which the alternator is regulated may be varied by changing the position of the slider on the Volts Adjust potentiometer. C. Voltage Regulation (1) Load applied When the alternator is loaded, its terminal voltage decreases, lowering the rectified three-phase voltage of the voltage sensing circuit. The sensing voltage is low in respect to its reference voltage, causing the voltage regulator PC circuitry to increase the power to the field of the rotary exciter. The alternator voltage increases until the voltage returns to its regulated value. (2) Load removed When a load is removed from the alternator, the alternator voltage rises. The rectified three-phase voltage sensing signal increases, causing this signal to be larger than the reference signal. The associated voltage regulator circuitry causes the field power of the rotary exciter to decrease, lowering the alternator voltage until the voltage returns to regulated value. Nov 30/ Page 1

21 SECTION 2. TROUBLESHOOTING 1. General For the convenience of maintenance personnel, this voltage regulator is designed to be trouble-free and simple to put back into service once it has malfunctioned or if it is not functioning properly. The heart of the solid state voltage regulator is the regulator PC board (Section 1-2, 4, Fig. 1, and Fig. 2). Most malfunctions of the voltage regulator will be corrected by (1) removing and replacing the PC board, and (2) making voltage and line-drop adjustments after installing the new board. 2. Preliminary Checks Before determining that the voltage regulator is defective, perform the following checks: A. Check the 5A fuse on the regulator PC board to be certain that it is good. B. check all connections on the regulator to make certain that they are tight and secure. C. Make certain also that the line drop compensator switch (1-2; 8, Fig. 1) is in the ON position for checking line drop compensation. 3. Troubleshooting the Voltage Regulator Troubleshooting of the solid-state voltage regulator begins logically with a check of the regulator PC board. In most instances this check can be made without removing the voltage regulator from the generator set. This is simply a matter of disconnecting the suspect PC board from the regulator wiring assembly and connecting in its place a PC board which works properly. Proceed as follows: CAUTION: SHUT OFF THE GENERATOR SET BEFORE WORKING ON THE VOLTAGE REGULA- TOR. A. Carefully disconnect the rectangular plug connector of the regulator wiring assembly from the suspect PC board. This can be done, if done carefully, without removing the regulator PC cover (Section 1-2; 2, Fig. 1). B. Connect a properly working PC board to the regulator wiring assembly. C. Place a piece of insulating material between the properly working PC board and the metal PC board cover (Section 1-2; 2, Fig. 1). Do this to avoid short circuiting the bottom of the properly working PC board to the cover D. Start the generator set and perform the tests and adjustments according to instructions in Section 2-4. E. If the generator set works properly with the properly working PC board temporarily connected to the voltage regulator, shut off the generator set and replace the defective PC board with one that is properly working. On most Hobart generator sets, it is possible to remove and replace the PC board quickly without removing the voltage regulator from the generator set. See Section 2-7, Para. 3 for removal and replacement instructions. NOTE: Preferably, the defective PC board should be replaced with the same PC board used for this troubleshooting check. This would eliminate the need for again doing tests and adjustments, as would be required with another PC board. F. If these tests and adjustments with the properly working PC board fail to correct the regulator malfunction, follow the same procedure as above for checking the line drop compensator assembly. Refer to Section 2-4 for test and adjustment procedure, and to Section 2-7, Para. 2 for removal and replacement procedure. Nov 30/ Page 1

23 SECTION 3. VOLTAGE REGULATOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION 1. General Due to the design of this solid state voltage regulator, and because of its compact size, troubleshooting and repair can often be done without removing it from the generator set. This on-the-unit troubleshooting and repair is explained in Sections 2-2 and 2-4. However, if removal and replacement of the entire voltage regulator is necessary, follow the procedure given below. 2. Removal of Voltage Regulator from Generator Set A. Disconnect the 19-pin connector (1-2; 11, Fig. 1). B. Remove the regulator s attaching hardware, and exercise care to avoid dropping the unit. C. Place the unit on a clean workbench, allowing enough room to work on it. 3. Replacement of Assemblies on the Voltage Regulator Refer to repair instructions in Section 2-7 for procedures for replacement of assemblies on the voltage regulator. 4.Installation of Voltage Regulator on Generator Set A. Place the voltage regulator in its proper mounting position. B. Fasten the voltage regulator in place with its attaching hardware, and make certain that it is mounted securely. C. Re-connect the 19-pin connector, and make certain that this connection is securely made. Nov 30/ Page 1

25 SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT AND TEST 1. Adjustment A. General (1) When a voltage regulator is first put into service, it may require an adjustment of the regulated output voltage. (2) The generator set must be running at rated RPM, under no-load conditions, when voltage regulation adjustment is made. Adjust the regulator as follows: B. Adjust Voltage Control (1) The output voltage at which the generator is regulated is adjust table by the PC board potentiometer adjustment (1-2, 13, Fig. 1). (2) Turn the potentiometer adjustment counterclockwise (CCW) to increase generator output voltage, and clockwise (CW) to decrease voltage. (3) Observe the output voltage as indicated by the voltmeter which is located on the control panel of the generator set. Set output voltage at 115-V AC line-to-neutral (200-V AC line-to-line). C. Adjust Line Drop Compensation Gain Adjustment of line drop compensation magnitude is made with the knob marked Foot Compensation (6) on the line drop compensator module. The knob dial is calibrated for approximate cable length in feet. The Foot Compensation knob controls a rheostat which limits the current flowing in the compensation circuit. The setting of the rheostat resistance determines the magnitude of the compensation. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the magnitude of the compensation, and rotating counterclockwise decreases the magnitude. To adjust the line drop compensation gain, proceed as follows: (1) Connect the generator set output cables to a load. (2) Make certain that the line compensation switch (8) is in the ON position. (3) Set the Foot Compensation knob to a dial setting corresponding to the length of the output cables being used. D. Adjust Line Drop Compensation Phase The compensation circuit must be adjusted to match not only the voltage drop in the power cables to the load, but must be adjusted to match the phase of the voltage drop. This is done by adjusting the relative magnitude of the reactor and resistive compensation with the Cable Size knob (7). This knob is calibrated in cable sizes, and controls a varied resistance in series with a fixed reactance. The power factor of the compensation circuit is varied by varying the resistance and leaving the reactance constant. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the resistive component of the compensation circuit, and simulates a smaller cable. Rotating the knob counterclockwise decreases the resistive component of the compensation. Adjust the line drop compensation phase as follows: (1) Set the Cable Size knob (7) to a dial setting corresponding to the size of the output cables. (2) Adjust the generator voltage control potentiometer (13) to the desired value if the line drop compensator adjustments have affected the no-load voltage output. Nov 30/ Page 1

26 (3) Load the generator set with the largest available three-phase load of rated power factor not exceeding the maximum rating of the generator set. If the load voltage rises or drops more than 1% at the load end of the cables, decrease or increase the setting of the load Foot Compensation knob until the regulation is flat. (4) Load the generator set with the largest available three-phase unity power factor load within the rating of the generator set. If voltage rises or drops more than 1% at full load, adjust the Cable Size setting until flat regulation is obtained. If it is necessary to adjust the cable size setting, repeat step (3) above. 2. Test the Voltage Regulator After necesssary adjustments have been completed, test the voltage regulator as follows: A. Connect a voltmeter at the load end of the generator output cables. B. Operate the generator set at no-load and observe voltage reading. C. Operate the generator set under load and observe voltage reading. D. Voltage under load should vary no more than 1% at the load end of the cables from voltage under no-load. NOTE: The panel mounted voltmeter will indicate a higher voltage than indicated by a voltmeter at the load end of the output cables. The amount of variance will depend upon cable length and size. 2-4 Nov 30/93 Page 2

27 SECTION 5. INSPECTION AND CHECK 1. Inspection A. General Inspect the voltage regulator periodically, at the same time other inspections of the generator set are made. B. Inspect Connectors and Terminals (1) Inspect connectors for full engagement. (2) Inspect terminals for security. C. Inspect Wiring Inspect wire insulation for cracks and damage. D. Inspect Attaching Parts Inspect attaching hardware for security E. Inspect Regulator Fuse on PC Board When replacing this fuse, replace it with the EXACT SAME type and rating of fuse. 2. Check the Voltage Regulator Unit If it is necessary to check electrical operation of the voltage regulator, refer to Section 2-4 for the test and adjustment procedure to be used. Nov 30/ Page 1

29 SECTION 6. CLEANING AND PAINTING 1. Cleaning WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! REMOVE POWER BEFORE CLEAN- ING REGULATOR. A. MAKE CERTAIN THAT COMPRESSED AIR IS CLEAN AND DRY. B. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE OR CONDUCTIVE CLEANERS. C. EXERCISE CARE TO AVOID DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS. Under normal operating conditions, very little cleaning is required; however, when operating under dusty conditions, it may be necessary to periodically clean the regulator with compressed air. 2. Painting A. General Only the sheet metal components of the voltage regulator are painted. Electrical and electronic components should never be painted. B. Preparation for Painting (1) Remove regulator from control box (or from its mounted position) and place it on a clean workbench. (2) Disassemble as required to remove the component (s) to be painted. (3) Prepare the surface to be painted by sanding. Remove all rust. (4) Use tape to mask any electronic or electrical components not removed in step (2) above. (5) Prime all bare metal surfaces with red oxide primer, Hobart No , or equivalent. C. Painting the Unit (1) Make certain that all surfaces are clean and dry. (2) Paint all prepared surfaces with gray enamel paint, Hobart No , or equivalent. Nov 30/ Page 1

31 SECTION 7. REPAIR 1. General For the convenience of maintenance personnel, this voltage regulator is designed to be trouble-free and simple to put back into service once it has malfunctioned or if it is not functioning properly. Flight line repair is limited to removal and replacement of either the Voltage Regulator PC Board assembly or the Line Drop Compensator assembly, depending on whether the malfunction of the voltage regulator is poor voltage regulation or poor line drop compensation. Refer to Figure 1, Section 1-2. It is not recommended that repairs be attempted on the voltage regulator PC board, because voltage regulation could be seriously affected if replacement parts are not identical to the original parts. Therefore a defective PC board assembly should be replaced with a PC board assembly known to be good. The line drop compensator assembly, like the PC board, does not lend itself to flight line repair. To put the voltage regulator back into service after a line drop malfunction, the line drop compensator assembly shouldbereplacedwithanassemblyknowntobegood. 2. Removal/Replacement of Line Drop Compensator Assembly Removal of this assembly (1-2; 5, Fig. 1) from the voltage regulator requires only that one disconnect the 10-pin connector housing (1-2; 12, Fig. 1) and remove the four screws which fasten the assembly to the regulator. Replacement of this assembly with one known to be good is simply a matter of mounting the replacement assembly in place, re-installing the four attaching screws securely, and re-connecting the 10- pin amphenol connector, making certain that the this connection is secure. Refer to Section 2-3, Para. 4 for instructions on installing the voltage regulator on the generator set after replacement of the line drop compensator assembly. Install the voltage regulator accordingly. 3. Removal/Replacement of Voltage Regulator PC Board Assembly A. To remove this assembly (1-2; 5, Fig. 1) from the voltage regulator, proceed as follows: (1) Remove the attaching hardware (four hex nuts, lock-washers and flat washers) which fasten the PC board cover (2) to the voltage regulator (on Regulator s). (2) Disconnect the regulator wiring assembly from the PC board. The wiring assembly attaches to the PC board at a socket connector on the board similar to the one which is mounted on the line drop compensator assembly. (3) The voltage regulator PC board is fastened to the voltage regulator unit with four plastic PC locking supports, one in each corner of the board. To remove the PC board, use a small screwdriver to push in the tab of each PC support, one at a time, while lifting the PC board from the supports. B. To install the replacement PC board on the voltage regulator, proceed as follows: (1) Make certain that the PC board is positioned properly (such that the 12-pin connector of the PC board is close to the line drop compensator assembly) and press the PC board gently down onto the plastic locking PC supports. (2) Connect the regulator wiring assembly to the newly-installed PC board. Make certain that this connection is securely made. (3) Re-mount the PC board cover, and tighten it down onto the voltage regulator with its attaching hardware (hex nuts, locknuts, and flat washers). Nov 30/ Page 1

32 (4) Make compensation and voltage adjustments, if required, in accordance with instructions in Section 2-4. (5) Refer to Section 2-3, Para. 4 for instructions on installing the voltage regulator on the generator set after the replacement of the PC board. Install the voltage regulator accordingly. 2-7 Nov 30/93 Page 2
