PUMP GP-VANE 3G5918 - Caterpillar

Procedure A - Check Engine RPM (Frequency)
Procedure B - Adjust Voltage Level
The voltage level adjustment range must be within +10 to -25% of rated voltage.* If the voltage level cannot be adjusted as described: a. Check accuracy of voltmeter.b. Go to Procedure C.Procedure C - Check AC Voltage Between Regulator Terminals 20 And 22
Check the jumper for selecting 50/60 Hz operation. For 60 Hz operation, a jumper is required from terminal 6 to terminal 10.* If voltage is above 200 volts for a 240V or 600V generator, or above 390 volts for a 480V generator, or above 100 volts for medium voltage generators (120 volt sensing): Check meters.* If voltage is lower than 200 volts for a 240V or 600V generator, or lower than 390 volts for a 480V generator, or lower than 100 volts for medium voltage generators (120 volt sensing): Go to Procedure D.Procedure D - Isolate Regulator
Disconnect leads from regulator terminals F1 And F2. Connect a 12 volt automotive type battery across exciter leads F1 (+) and F2 (-). Operate generator at half of the rated speed. Then slowly increase RPM.* If voltage at regulator terminals 20 and 22 is less than 100 volts, shutdown the generator and: a. Check rotating rectifiers CR1-6 (rotating rectifier block).b. Check surge suppression diodes CR7-8 (varistors).c. Check exciter stator L1 resistance between F1 and F2 leads. Exciter stator resistance should be approximately 3 to 5 ohms. For more information, see SR4 Generator Service Manual, Form No. SENR3985.* If balanced AC voltage between regulator terminals 20-22-24 and not balanced between terminals 26-28-30 that increases with rpm: Check permanent magnet PM exciter voltage. Disconnect wires 12 and 13, that go to the PM exciter. Check the PM exciter between wires 11-12-13 for a balanced voltage increasing with speed and greater than 50 VAC at rated speed.* If balanced AC voltage between regulator terminals 20-22-24 and between terminals 26-28-30 that increases with rpm: Go to Procedure E.Procedure E - Isolate Attachments
Connect exciter stator L1 leads to regulator terminals F1 and F2. Disconnect all attachments such as manual voltage control, remote voltage control, droop transformer, etc. If remote mounted voltage adjustment is disconnected, connect jumper across terminals 4 and 7.Check all connections to the regulator and the regulator fuses.* If generator output voltage is normal: Check attachments.* If voltage at regulator terminals 20 and 22 cannot be adjusted to rated voltage at rated frequency with no load: a. Check the jumper for selecting 50/60 Hz operation. For 60 Hz operation, a jumper is required from terminal 6 to terminal 10.b. Replace regulator.c. Bench test the regulator; see Bench Test.
