Do not overheat any of the generator components in order to burn off the epoxy varnish. Overheating the components can cause the laminations to become shorted together. This will damage the lamination assembly.
Generator Identification
The generator identification plate is located on the left side of the generator.When service is required, the information that is given on this plate should be used. The generator identification plate includes the following information: serial number, model number and the rating of the generator set. The generator set consists of the engine and generator. All pertinent generator data is also included on the plate in order to provide the information that is necessary to order parts.

Generator Serial PlateWire Standards
The wire size must be correct and the wire number must be correct. The wire size is listed in American Wire Gauge (AWG). The wires must meet the standards in NEMA"MW 1000-2008 MW 35-C". If you use wire that does not meet this standard, failure of the generator may result. All of the wires that are listed in this book are round wires, unless otherwise specified.Varnish
All SR5 generators have a class "H" varnish rating. A high strength 100 percent fill epoxy varnish is recommended.Balance
Rewound rotors must be balanced dynamically. When you balance the rotor, the rotors peak to peak displacement should be no greater than 0.0127 mm (0.0005 inch).
If the rotor is not balanced properly, vibrations will result. These vibrations can damage the generator.
Resistance
For the resistance checks, use a milliohmmeter such as Wheatstone bridge or Kelvin bridge. Most digital multimeters and analog multimeters are not accurate enough to measure the coil resistance.The resistance values are correct only at the given temperature. If the winding temperatures are different from the temperatures in the table, use the following formula in order to find the actual resistance.R2 = R1×(234.5 + T2) / (234.5 + T1);R1 - The resistance that is listed in the tableR2 - The resistance that is measuredT1 - The temperature that is listed in the tableT2 - The temperature that is measuredTesting
High-potential tests must be performed according to the following standards:
NEMA"MG 1-2009 32.21"
IEC"60034-6"
