Wet stacking is a common problem with diesel engines which are operated for extended periods with light or no load applied. When a diesel engine operates without sufﬁ cient load (less than 40% of the rated output), it will not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system, which can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and exhaust system, including turbochargers, and reduce

Wet stacking does not usually cause any permanent

damage and can be alleviated if additional load is applied to relieve the condition. It can reduce the system performance and increase maintenance. Applying an increasing load over a period of time until the excess fuel is burned off and the system capacity is reached usually can repair the condition. This can take several

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.

CAUTION

Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be routed to a ventilated area.

GENERATOR GROUNDING

To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH 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 - 8 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.

b. Aluminum - 6 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.

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.

3. NEC article 250-52(c) speciﬁes that the earth ground rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.

NOTICE

When connecting the generator to any buildings electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed electrician.

NOTICE

This generator has a permanent bonding conductor between the generator stator windings and the frame.

GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERATOR

This MQ Power generator (Figure 3) is a high quality portable (requires a trailer for transport) power source for telecom sites, lighting facilities, power tools, submersible pumps and other industrial and construction machinery.

ENGINE OPERATING PANEL

The “Engine Operating Panel” is provided with the following:

 Tachometer  Water Temperature Gauge  Oil Pressure Gauge  Charging Ammeter Gauge  Fuel Level Gauge  Panel Light/Panel Light Switch  ECU Controller  Engine Speed Switch  Emergency Stop Button  Emergency Stop Lamp  Warning Lamp  Pre-Heat Lamp  Fuel Leak Detected Alarm Lamp  Diagnostic Gauge

GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The “Generator Control Panel” is provided with the following:

 Frequency Meter (Hz)  AC Ammeter (Amps)  AC Voltmeter (Volts)  Ammeter Change-Over Switch  Voltmeter Change-Over Switch  Voltage Regulator  3-Pole, 400 amp Main Circuit Breaker  “Control Box” (located behind the Gen. Control Panel)

• Automatic Voltage Regulator

• Current Transformer

• Over-Current Relay

• Starter Relay

• Voltage Selector Switch

OUTPUT TERMINAL PANEL

The “Output Terminal Panel” is provided with the following:

 Three 120/240V output receptacles (CS-6369), 50A  Three auxiliary circuit breakers, 50A  Two 120V output receptacles (GFCI), 20A  Two GFCI circuit breakers, 20A  Five output terminal lugs (3Ø power)

OPEN DELTA EXCITATION SYSTEM

This generator is equipped with the state of the art “OpenDelta” excitation system. The open delta 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 to 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 “ﬁxed ceiling” and responds according the demands of the required load.

This generator unit incorporates an John Deere 6068HF285 diesel engine. This engine is designed to meet every performance requirement for the generator. Reference Table 2 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.

ELECTRIC GOVERNOR SYSTEM

The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the engine. When the engine demand increases or decreases, the governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.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 6) as a guide for selecting proper extension cable size.

Figure 4. Diagnostic Display

The diagnostic display panel located inside the control box on the generator (Figure 4) is designed to meet the needs for instrumentation and control of electronically controlled engine communication using the SAEJ1939 Controller Area Network (CAN). This diagnostic display is a multifunction tool that enables equipment operators to view many different engine parameters and service codes.

The keypad on the diagnostic display panel is a capacitive touch sensing system. There are no mechanical switches to wear or stick. This keypad (display unit) will operate in extreme hot or cold weather conditions.

Other components in the system are microprocessor-based components for displaying critical engine data broadcast by an electronic engine or transmission’s Engine Control Unit (ECU): engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, system voltage, etc., and a combination audible alarm and relay unit for warning and shutdown annunciation.

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) used with this generator diagnosis engine faults that arise with the the engine control system and the engine itself. Engine faults can be determined by viewing the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Active Fault Codes) which are displayed on the Diagnostic Display Panel. See the John Deere Engine Operator’s Manual for a complete listing of active fault codes and countermeasures.

The following deﬁnitions describe the controls and functions of the Diagnostic Display Panel (Figure 4).

1. Menu Button – Press this button to enter or exit menu screens.

DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY

2. Left Arrow Button – Press this button to scroll through the screen either moving the parameter selection toward the left or upward.

3. Right Arrow Button – Press this button to scroll through the screen either moving the parameter selection toward the right or downward.

4. Enter Key Button – Press this button to select the parameter that is highlighted on the screen.

5. Emergency Stop LED – When lit (RED) indicates a major fault has occured. This condition will shudown the generator.

6. Warning LED – When lit (AMBER), indicates a engine parameter has exceeded its limits (minor fault). The generator will still run in this condition.

7. Display Screen – Graphical backlight LCD screen. Back lighting is controlled via menu or external dimmer potentiometer. The display can show either a single parameter or a quadrant display showing four parameters simultaneously.

8. Diagnostic Switch – When placed in the ON position, will activate the diagnostic display panel.

9. CAN Diagnostic Connector – Controller Area Network connector. This connector outputs diagnostic error codes. Connect a scanner or similar device into this connector to read error codes.
