Bearings
The sleeve bearings may be self lubricated or force fed from a separate
oil system. Temperature detectors monitor the operating conditions of
the bearing and lubrication system. The sleeve bearing is self -aligning.
See bearing manual for details. RTDs are provided to monitor bearing
temperature during operation. A non-conducting liner insulates the
bearing against shaft currents. See your bearing manual under separate
cover for more information. See Figure 7.

Connection Boxes
The main lead connection box houses the load lead terminals, and
may be located either side or on top. In addition, the generator may
have auxiliary connection boxes for connecting temperature detector
outputs, space heater connectors, and sensing outputs. See drawings in
your documentation package for details. See Figure 8.

NOTE:
If your generator has split roller
bearings instead of sleeve bearings,
consult the bearing manual included in
the documentation package.
