DCA-125SSJU SERIES — INSTALLATION
Outdoor Installation
Install the generator in a area that is free of debris,
bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the
generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or
shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that
the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby
homes.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to
engine and alternator parts.

Generator Grounding
To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to

ground.
Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
provides guide lines for proper grounding and specifies that
the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system
of the building as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following
grounding requirements:
1.Use one of the following wire types to connect the
generator to earth ground.
a.Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.
b.Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.
2.When grounding the generator (Figure 2) connect the
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on
the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other
end of the ground cable to earth ground.
3.NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground
rod should be buried aminimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
Indoor Installation
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous.
Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes
must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed
at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust
pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive
back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively
and possibly burn the valves.
Mounting
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation (such
as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to isolate
vibration of the generator when it is running. The generator
must set at least 6 inches above the floor or grade level (in
accordance to NFPA 110, Chapter 5-4.1). DO NOT remove
the metal skids on the bottom of the generator. They are to
resist damage to the bottom of the generator and to maintain
alignment.
NOTE
When connecting the generator to
any buildings electrical system
ALWAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.

Open Delta Excitation System
The DCA-125SSJU Series Generator is equipped with the state
of the art "
system consist of an electrically independent winding wound
among stationary windings of the AC output section.
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and D.
During steady state loads, the power from the voltage regulator
is supplied from the parallel connections of A to B, A to D, and
C to D. These three phases of the voltage input to the voltage
regulator are then rectified and are the excitation current for the
exciter section.
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short circuit
occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) switches the
configuration of the open delta to the series connection of B to
C. This has the effect of adding the voltages of each phase ot
provide higher excitation to the exciter section and thus better
voltage response during the application of heavy loads.
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are for
sensing only. No power is required from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The
excitation does not have a "

meet every performance requirement for the generator. Reference
Table 1 for engine specifications.
In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving its
products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to change
without prior notice.
Mechanical Governor System
The mechanical governor system control the RPM of the
engine. When the engine demands increase or decrease, the
mechanical governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.5%. The electronic governor option increases
frequency variation to ±0.25%.
Extension Cables
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or loads
at some distance from the generator, extension cords are
normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in
length and amperage so that the voltage drop between the
generator and point of use (load) is held to a minimum. Use the
cable selection chart (Table 5) as a guide for selecting proper
extension cable size.
