Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
So, the fault indicator tripped with no fault and locked out the Genset from running.
How do you tell which one it is?
Below the control panel into the right is there a throttle control knob? Not the rheostat on the panel
It has a throttle knob looking at the panel it will be low right.
That makes it a utility set push the button in the side of the knob and push it into make gross adjustments down or push the button and pull to make gross adjustments up turning the knob counter clockwise and clockwise make fine adjustments with no load set it to about 61-62 Hertz using a digital multimeter on the output don't rely on the set gauge they're not exactly the most precise things and let it be as the load increases the motor will droop so keep an eye on it you may have to play with it a little bit anywhere between 58 to 62 is a safe range to run 60 being ideal
What does the voltage sensing switch do? And if I’m going to run L1-L3 to my house for 120/240v should I have that selector switch set to L1-L3?
Also glad you told me to not trust the gauge I have it set to 60hz but it sounds like it’s running over 1800 rpms may be just the fan on this thing I know it’s not running wide open it has plenty throttle left.
That knob just selects which voltage source the set meter is looking at all you really need to care about is l1-l0 l3-l0 and l1l3 for voltage notice the inner ring there is an l1 l2 l3 please direct the current meter so you should only really care about the l1 and l3 positions
It does not alter the function. It's for operator use
Well I believe I’ll be wrapping up this project now it has been aggravating but you guys know how to help and that’s what counts appreciate you all I may post back here again when I get it load tested.
You're very welcome. Glad you were able to get it all setup. Keep in touch
