INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Selecta siteforthealternator
with
the
following
points
in
mind:
1.
Ventilation:
Thealternator
creates
considerable
heat
whenoperatingunderloadconditions.Itis
important
thatthis
heat
bedissipatedbyproper
ventilation.
If
installing
thealternatorinsidea
small
roomorcompartment,providea ventforentry
of
fresh,
cool
air.Providea
separate
ventfor
exhaustingtheair
heated
bythealternator.Locate
the
heated
air
exhaust
vent
above
the
inlet
vent.
Heatedairisdischarged
from
thedriveshaftendof
thealternator.
EXHAUST
GAS IS
DEADLY!
U
operat-
ing alternator inside
a
building, provide
adequate ducting
ior
tractor exhaust iumes.
2.
Convenienceto

Power:Locatethealterna-
tor
for
easy
connectiontothetractor.
Align
the
power
take-off
tothealternator.Stay
within
the
limits
ofthepower

3.DustyorDamp
Condition:
Avoid
excessivelydusty
or
dampconditionsasmuchaspossible.Dustand

are
enemies
ofanypieceofmachinery.The

4.
ServicingConvenience:
Allow
at
least
24inchesof
space
onall
sides
ofthealternatorforconvenient
servicing.
5.

MOUNTING
BASE
MOUNTING
THE
ALTERNATOR
Provide
a
substantialmounting
baseof
concrete,
wood
or
steel
anduse
largebolts.
The
surface
ofthe
mount-
ing
base
should
be
flat
so
that
the
alternatormounting
brackets
will
notbe
sprungwhentightening
into
place.
It
should
be
possible
to
turn
the
shaft
by
handafter
thealternator
is
bolteddown.
C
^J^JJ^
To
develop
15
KW
requires
30 to 35
^K^^^^^l horsepower
at the
power take-off.
The
torque will flip
the
alternator over unless secured
to a
strong substructure.
A
narrow
(30
inch) trailer
is not
suitable
for
operation.
A 40
inch
hub to hub
minimum
measurement
is
required.
Be
sure
that
the
alternator
is
properlyaligned
with
the
driving
mechanism
and
that
it
will
stay
in
alignment.
INSTALLING
THE
LOAD
TRANSFER
SWITCH
Before
using
the
alternator
for
standby
purposes,
install
a
DOUBLE
THROW
LOAD
TRANSFER
SWITCH.
The
switch
must
have
an
ampere
rating
largeenough
to
carry
the
total
loadwhen
the
main
source
of
power
isinuse.
Follow
the
local
electrical
code.
The
loadtransfer
switch
shouldalways
be
installed
close
tothe
main
line
switch,
and
between
themain
line
switch
andthe
load.Whenproperly
installed,
the
loadtransfer
switch
inone
position
will
connect
the
electricalload
tothe
highline.
When
theloadtransfer
switch
is
thrown
tothe
otherposi-
tion,
the
load
is
first
disconnected
from
the
main
source
of
power,
and
thenconnected
tothe
tractor
alternator.Using
the
loadtransfer
switch
makes
it
impossible
to
connect
the
alternator
tothe
main
source
of
power.

OPERATING
Voltage
will
decrease
ordrop,asthealternatorwarms
upevenwhenconstant
speed
ismaintained.Thisis
normal.
However,ifthepowerdropsbelowtherecom-
mendedoperatingvoltage(230to240volts)it
will
be
necessary
to
increase
thetractorPTO
speed
tocom-
pensate.
Also,
avoidover-voltagetoprevent
damage
to
electrical
equipmentand/orthealternator.
Reduce
voltagebydecreasingPTO
speed.
NOTE
A:
Keep
the
alternator load within
its
nameplate
rating.
If the
alternator
is
seriously overloaded
the
cir-
cuit breakers will automatically trip, disconnecting
the
entire electrical load. Reduce
the
load before throwing
the circuit breakers back
to the ON
position.
NOTE
B:
Motors require
low to
five times more current
for starting than running.
If
several motors start simul-
taneously,
the
total electrical load
may
overload
the
alternator causing
the
circuit breakers
to
open
and
dis-
connect
the
circuit.
To
avoid this, always start larger
horsepower motors
one at a
time. Your alternator
is
equipped with
an
auxiliary field timer switch, which,
when actuated, will connect
an
auxiliary winding
for
supplying added field strength
for
starting motors rated
at
3 H.P. or
larger.
Set the
timer
at one
minute
or
longer
for proper timer operation.
At the end of the
preset time,
the switch cuts
out and the
motor runs
on
normal current.
T^Cf^jJIQfit^\
H
tractor engine horsepower
is
t~-*^»^-*~^^*^^J> less than
2 H.P. per
kilowatt load, care
should
be
exercised
in
disconnecting large loads. Gover-
nor speed changes
can
cause high voltage surges which
could damage electrical equipment
of
lesser current
draw than that which
is
removed from
the
line.
