Generator Output Test
- Connect appropriate test equipment to generator. See Figure. Connect an ammeter, voltmeter, 0-.25-ohm/1-kW variable resistor, 2 single-pole switches (SW 1 and SW 2), .25-ohm/25-watt resistor and a 12-volt test light.
- Set variable resistor to minimum resistance position. Close switches SW 1 and SW 2. Keep voltage constant by adjusting variable resistor while raising generator RPM. Generator output should measure as shown in GENERATOR OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS table.
GENERATOR OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS
