SECTION 1.4 GENERAL INFORMATION PART 1 TESTING, CLEANING AND DRYING VISUAL INSPECTION When it becomes necessary to test or troubleshoot a generator, it is a good practice to complete a thorough visual inspection. Remove the access covers and look closely for any obvious problems. Look for the following: ❏ Burned or broken wires, broken wire connectors, damaged mounting brackets, etc. ❏ Loose or frayed wiring insulation, loose or dirty connections. ❏ Check that all wiring is well clear of rotati

SECTION 1.4 GENERAL INFORMATION PART 1 TESTING, CLEANING AND DRYING 2. Before reading a DC voltage, always set the meter to a higher voltage scale than the anticipated reading. if in doubt, start at the highest scale and adjust the scale downward until correct readings are obtained. 3. The design of some meters is based on the "current flow" theory while others are based on the "electron flow" theory. a. The "current flow" theory assumes that direct current flows from the positive (+) to the neg

SECTION 1.4 GENERAL INFORMATION PART 1 TESTING, CLEANING AND DRYING If proper procedures are used, the following conditions can be detected using a VOM: ❏ A "short-to-ground" condition in any stator or rotor winding. ❏ Shorting together of any two parallel stator windings. ❏ Shorting together of any two isolated stator windings. ❏ An open condition in any stator or rotor winding. Component testing may require a specific resistance value or a test for INFINITY or CONTINUITY. INFINITY is an OPEN c

SECTION 1.5 GENERAL INFORMATION PART 1 ENGINE-GENERATOR PROTECTIVE DEVICES above. GENERAL Standby electric power generators will often run unattended for long periods of time. Such operating parameters as (a) engine oil pressure, (b) engine temperature, (c) engine operating speed, and (d) engine cranking and startup are not monitored by an operator during automatic operation. Because engine operation will not be monitored, the use of engine protective safety devices is required to prevent engine
