EDGE 1U0605 - Caterpillar

Initial Start-Up
Measure the insulation resistance of each winding if the generator was exposed to the following conditions:
Rapid changes in temperature
Freezing
Wet climate during shipment
Wet climate during storageRefer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Insulation - Test".Note: These tests should be conducted prior to any power connections or control connections that are being made.Starting
