A. C. MODULAR GENERATOR SYSTEM
Page 47 of 53
WARNING:
Do not attempt to measure the exciter field resistance while the system is operating.
Electrical shock may occur.
f. The generator drive motor is faulty. Observe the generator while the system is
engaged. If it is not rotating, there may be a problem in the motor, or the motor-
to-generator linkage.
g. The pump is faulty. If no faults are found in steps a. through g., the problem is
likely to be a non-functional pump. Contact Smart Power

Output voltage exceeds 260 volts or falls below 220 volts AC on a 240 volt line
for a HR-15 system or output voltage exceeds 250 volts or falls below 210
volts on a 230 volt line for a HR-12:
a. Verify that the hydraulic system is not overheating by viewing the temperature
as displayed by the Command & Control Center. The temperature should not
exceed 175° F. If the temperature is greater than 175° F, follow instructions for
system overheating (see hydraulic problems).
b. The hydraulic pump speed may be too low. Verify that the hydraulic pump
speed is in the required range (see Table ). Pump speed can be calculated by
multiplying the engine RPM by the PTO ratio. Adjust the engine speed or PTO
ratio if necessary.
c. The generator speed may be incorrect. The generator output should be
between 59-61 Hz for a HR-15 or 49-52 Hz for a HR-12. If it is not, contact
