INSTALLATION

Personnel undertaking the various operations indicated in this section must wear personal protective equipment appropriate for mechanical and electrical hazards.

Assembly
All mechanical handling operations must be undertaken using suitable equipment and the machine must be horizontal. Check how much the machine weighs before choosing the lifting tool. During this operation, do not allow anyone to stand under the load.

Handling

The generously-sized lifting eyes are for handling the alternator only. They must not be used to lift the genset. The choice of lifting hooks or handles should be determined by the shape of the lifting eyes. Choose a lifting system which respects the integrity and the environment of the machine.
During this operation, do not allow anyone to stand under the load.

WARNING
After handling the machine using the lifting ring, snap on the plastic cover provided in the maintenance manual wallet.

Single-bearing coupling
Before coupling, check the compatibility between the alternator and the engine by performing:

• undertaking a torsional analysis of the transmission (alternators data are available on request),
• checking the dimensions of the flywheel and its housing, the flange, coupling discs and offset.

WARNING

• When coupling the alternator to the prime mover, do not use the fan to turn the alternator or rotor.
• The holes of the coupling discs should be aligned with the flywheel holes by cranking the engine.
• Make sure the machine is securely bedded in position during coupling.
• Check that there is lateral play on the crankshaft.

Double-bearing coupling

Semi-flexible coupling
Careful alignment of the machines is recommended, checking that the lack of concentricity and parallelism of both parts of the coupling do not exceed 0.1 mm.
This alternator has been balanced with a 1/2 key.

Location
The location where the alternator is placed must be ventilated to ensure that the ambient temperature cannot exceed the data on the nameplate.

Checks prior to first use

Electrical checks

Under no circumstances should an alternator, new or otherwise, be operated if the insulation is less than 1 megohm for the stator and 100,000 ohms for the other windings.
There are 2 possible methods for restoring the above minimum values.

• a) Dry out the machine for 24 hours in a drying oven at a temperature of 110 °C (without the regulator).
• b) Blow hot air into the air intake, having made sure that the machine is rotating with the exciter field disconnected.

Note : Prolonged standstill
In order to avoid these problems, we recommend the use of space heaters, as well as turning over the machine from time to time. Space heaters are only really effective if they are working continuously while the machine is stopped.

WARNING
Ensure that the alternator has the degree of protection matching the defined environmental conditions.

When the alternator’s power output is ensured directly through cables, these must be connected before start-up.

Mechanical checks
Before starting the machine for the first time, check that:

• all fixing bolts are tight,

• the length of bolt and the tightening torque are correct,

• the cooling air is drawn in freely,

• the protective grille and housing are cor-rectly in place,

• the standard direction of rotation is clock-wise as seen from the drive end (phase rotation in order 1 – 2 – 3).
  For anti-clockwise rotation, swap 2 and 3.

• the winding connection corresponds to the site operating voltage (see section 3.3).

Terminal connection diagrams
To modify the connection, change the position of the stator cables on the terminals. The winding code is specified on the nameplate.

Any intervention on the alternator terminals during reconnection or checks should be performed with the machine stopped. In no case should the internal connections in the terminal box be subjected to stresses due to cables connected by the user.3

Connection checks

Electrical installations must comply with the current legislation in force in the country of use.
Check that:

• The residual circuit-breaker conforms to legislation on protection of personnel, in force in the country of use, and has been correctly installed on the alternator power output as close as possible to the alternator. (In this case, disconnect the wire of the interference suppression module linking the neutral).

• Any protection devices in place have not been tripped.

• If there is an external AVR, the connections between the alternator and the cabinet are made in accordance with the connection diagram.

• There is no short-circuit phase-phase or phase-neutral between the alternator output terminals and the generator set control cabinet (part of the circuit not protected by circuitbreakers or relays in the cabinet).

• The machine should be connected with the busbar separating the terminals as shown in the terminal connection diagram.

• The alternator earth terminal inside the terminal box is connected to the electrical earth circuit

• The earth terminal is connected to the frame.

• The connections inside the terminal box must never be subjected to stress due to cables connected by the user.

The machine can only be started up and used if the installation is in accordance with the regulations and instructions defined in this manual.
The machine is tested and set up at the factory. When first used with no load, make sure that the drive speed is correct and stable (see the nameplate). With the On application of the load, the machine should achieve its rated speed and voltage; however, in the event of abnormal operation, the machine setting can be altered (follow the adjustment procedure in section 3.5). If the machine still operates incorrectly, the cause of the malfunction must be located (see section 4.5).

Setting up

The various adjustments during tests must be made by a qualified engineer. Ensure that the drive speed specified on the nameplate is reached before commencing adjustment.
After operational testing, replace all access panels or covers.
The AVR is used to make any adjustments to the machine.

SERVICING – MAINTENANCE

Safety measures
Servicing or troubleshooting must be carried out strictly in accordance with instructions so as to avoid the risk of accidents and to maintain the machine in its original state.
All such operations performed on the alternator should be undertaken by personnel trained in the commissioning, servicing and maintenance of electrical and mechanical components, who must wear personal protective equipment appropriate for mechanical and electrical hazards.
Before any intervention on the machine, ensure that it cannot be started by a manual or automatic system and that you have understood the operating principles of the system.

Warning : During and after running, the alternator will reach temperatures hot enough to cause injury, such as burns.

Routine maintenance

Checks after start-up
After approximately 20 hours of operation, check that all fixing bolts on the machine are still tight, plus the general state of the machine and the various electrical connections in the installation.

Electrical Servicing
Commercially available volatile degreasing agents can be used.

WARNING

• Do not use trichloroethylene, perch-ethylene, trichloroethane or any alkaline products.
• These operations must be performed at a cleaning station, equipped with a vacuum system that collects and flushes out the products used.
• The insulating components and the impregnation system are not at risk of damage from solvents. Avoid letting the cleaning product run into the slots.
• Apply the product with a brush, sponging frequently to avoid accumulation in the housing. Dry the winding with a dry cloth. Let any traces evaporate before reassembling the machine.

Mechanical servicing

WARNING

Cleaning the machine using water or a highpressure washer is strictly prohi-bited. Any problems arising from such treatment are not covered by our warranty.

• Degreasing: Use a brush and detergent (suitable for paintwork).

Checking the winding
You can check the winding insulation by performing a high voltage test. In this case, you must disconnect all AVR wires.

WARNING
Damage caused to the AVR in such conditions is not covered by our warranty.

Checking the diode bridge
A diode in good working order should allow the current to flow only in the anode-to-cathode direction.

Checking the windings and rotating diodes using separate excitation

During this procedure, make sure that the alternator is disconnected from any external load and inspect the terminal box to check that the connections are fully tightened.

1. Stop the unit, disconnect and isolate the AVR wires.
2. There are two ways of creating an assembly with separate excitation.

Assembly A: Connect a 12 V battery in series with a rheostat of approximately 50 ohms – 300 W and a diode on both exciter field wires (5+) and (6-).

Assembly B: Connect a “Variac” variable power supply and a diode bridge on both exciter field wires (5+) and (6-).
Both these systems should have characteristics which are compatible with the field excitation power of the machine (see the nameplate).
3) Run the unit at its rated speed.
4) Gradually increase the exciter field current by adjusting the rheostat or the variac and measure the output voltages on L1 – L2 – L3, checking the excitation voltage and current at no load (see the machine nameplate or ask for the factory test report). When the output voltage is at its rated value and balanced within 1% for the rated excitation level, the machine is in good working order. The fault therefore comes from the AVR or its associated wiring (ie. sensing, auxiliary windings).

Dismantling, reassembly

WARNING

During the warranty period, this operation should only be carried out in an approved workshop or in our factory, otherwise the warranty may be invalidated.
