PUMP GP-FUEL INJECTION 1087090 - Caterpillar

TYPE="LEVEL" DEPTH="1" @@@-->Three-Phase Voltage Connections
The Wye Configuration and the Delta Configuration are given in the following diagrams.The terminals must be connected securely. The terminals must also be insulated with a good quality electrical tape.If a Delta Configuration is being used, the generator winding pitch must be two-thirds. If the generator winding pitch is not two-thirds, there will be circulating current within the Delta. This circulating current will cause additional heat in the generator stator. In such cases, the generator must be derated.Wye Configuration Diagrams

This configuration is only for use with 3406E, 3412C, 3500 series, and C18 generator sets.
This is a typical high voltage connection.

Typical twelve lead parallel Wye configuration (60 Hz)
This configuration is only for use with 3406E, 3412C, 3500 series, and C18 generator sets.
This is a typical low voltage connection.

Single-Phase Current From a Three-Phase Generator
Three-phase current and single-phase current can be taken simultaneously from a generator that is connected for three-phase service. In the Wye Configuration, connect the load to the three-phase leads (any two of the three leads). In the Delta Configuration, connect the load to the three-phase leads (any two of the three leads). In both configurations, this will provide single-phase voltage at the same voltage as three-phase voltage.Connect the load to any phase lead and neutral lead of the Wye Configuration. This will produce voltage at 58% of three-phase voltage.In a Delta Configuration (240 Volts, 60 Hz, and three-phase power), the following voltages will be present: 208 Volts between the high phase and neutral and 240 Volts between either of the low phases and neutral.Refer to Operation Section, "Generator Operation" for allowable single-phase loading unbalance.Single-phase power that is taken from a three-phase source can be a problem. Ensure that the single-phase loading is equally distributed.Do not exceed the nameplate current rating for any one phase.Wye Configuration Diagrams
