INTRODUCTION
TESTING POLICY
Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is
fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded,
and the voltage, current, and frequency are carefully
checked.
Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests
of typical units, and is subject to, and limited by, the
temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified
by the manufacturer of applicable engines.
The WINCO power take-off generators are designed
primarily for farm use as a standby electrical power
supply, utilizing the power take-off of a tractor or truck as
the prime mover. This PTO drive generator will provide,
120/240V 1-PH, 120/208V 3-PH, 120/240V 3-PH, or
277/480V 3-PH (depending on model), 60Hz electrical
service when properly driven.
This generator includes a frequency meter to warn
against high or low frequency, three output power
receptacles, an overload protection circuit, and an
electronic excitation circuit. This generator includes an
Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) which maintains a
constant voltage output and a Frequency meter to insure
the unit is producing 60 Hz power. All the models (except
the 480 and 600 volt units) have a control panel with
two output power receptacles, and overload protection
circuit breakers, and most models are equipped with a
full load disconnect plug (not applicable on the 145 and
150 kW models) To reduce maintenance problems, the
coupling between the generator input shaft and rotor
consists of precision helical gearing. The input shaft is
1-3/4 in diameter 20 spline .
DO NOT operate and/or store the unit outside during
inclement weather without adequate protection from the
elements. Failure to do so will damage the unit.
It is acceptable to use this generator with a tractor with
less HP output than required for full power operation.
The generator will work but produce only as much kW
output as the tractor can supply HP for. For example,
a 20 HP output tractor will deliver a maximum of
approximately 10 kw.
If you are using a tractor with more HP than required
to run the generator care should be taken to ensure
that you do not overload the generator causing
overheating and equipment damage. Observe input RPM
specifications.
The generator may be foundation mounted for use as
standby power source, or trailer mounted, and used
as portable electrical power sources for areas where
commercial power is not readily available, such as out
buildings.
IMPORTANT: THE MANUFACTURER STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS RUNNING THE GENERATOR UNDER
LOAD AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH IN ORDER TO
EVAPORATE ANY ACCUMULATED MOISTURE
CONDENSATION.
