1.1 - Standards and safety measures 

 

Our alternators comply with most international standards and 
are compatible with :
- the recommendations of the 

 

International Electrotechnical Commission 

 

IEC 34-1, (EN 60034).
- the recommendations of the 

 

International Standards Organisation ISO 8528.

 

- the European Community directive 89/336/EEC on 
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

 

- the European Community directives
73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC (Low Voltage Directive).

 

They are CE marked with regard to the LVD (Low Voltage 
Directive) in their role as a machine component. A declaration 
of incorporation can be supplied on request.
Before using your generator for the first time, read carefully 
the contents of this installation and maintenance manual, 
supplied with the machine. All operations performed on the 
generator should be undertaken by qualified personnel with 
specialist training in the commissioning, servicing and 
maintenance of electrical and mechanical machinery. This 
maintenance manual should be retained for the whole of the 
machine’s life and be handed over with the contractual file.
The various operations described in this manual are 
accompanied by recommendations or symbols to alert the 
user to potential risks of accidents. It is vital that you 
understand and take notice of the different warning symbols.

 

1.2 - Inspection

 

On receipt of your alternator, check that it has not suffered 
any damage in transit. If there are obvious signs of damage, 
contact the carrier (you may able to claim on their insurance) 
and after a visual check, turn the machine by hand to detect 
any malfunction. 

 

1.3 - Identification

 

The alternator is identified by means of a nameplate fixed on 
the frame (see drawing).
Make sure that the nameplate on the machine conforms to 
your order.
The machine name is defined according to various criteria, for 
example :  LSA 46.2 M6 C6/4 -
• LSA : name used in the PARTNER range 
          M : Marine  
          C : Cogeneration  
          T  : Telecommunications.
• 46.2 : machine type
• M5 : model
• C : excitation system
 (C : AREP / J : SHUNT or PMG /  E : COMPOUND)
• 6/4 : winding number / number of poles.
 

 

1.3.1 - Nameplate

 

So that you can identify your machine quickly and accurately, 
we suggest you fill in its specifications on the nameplate 
below. 

 

1.4 -  Storage

 

Prior to commissioning, machines should be stored : 
- Away from humidity : in conditions of relative humidity of 
more than 90%, the machine insulation can drop very rapidly, 
to just above zero at around 100%; monitor the state of the 
anti-rust protection on unpainted parts. For storage over an 
extended period, the machine can be placed in a sealed 
enclosure (heatshrunk plastic for example) with dehydrating 
sachets inside, away from significant and frequent variations 
in temperature to avoid the risk of condensation during 
storage.
- If the area is affected by vibration, try to reduce the effect of 
these vibrations by placing the generator on a damper 
support (rubber disc or similar) and turn the rotor a fraction of 
a turn once a fortnight to avoid marking the bearing rings.
