o, your 100-kW tactical quiet generator is humming quietly along and then suddenly, it’s
TOO
quiet. It’s stopped running! The generator set control (GSC) display is blank and so is
the digital voltage regulator (DVR) display.
If the serial number on the data plate starts with an LM followed by four numbers,
then Fermont and Marathon Electric have extended your warranty.
Get out your operator’s manual, TM 9-6115-729-10, and go to Page 00-2 of
WP 0023. There you’ll see that the warranty info provided by Marathon Electric is
12 months from the date of startup or 18 months from the date of shipment.
What’s wrong?
One of the things it might be is a
blown 10-amp fuse that sits behind
the GSC.
Check it. If the fuse is blown,
then check for another problem—a
chaFng problem. Open the right
rear access door and look at the
input wires to the slave relay (SRY).
Are they rubbing against the main
generator lifting eye? Do you have
wires making metal-to-metal contact
and blowing that 10-amp fuse?
If you have a chaFng problem,
wrap the chafed wire with electrical
tape and then spiral wrap, NSN
9330-01-466-2483. To further hold
the wiring bundle together and off
of the lifting eye, use a zip tie, NSN
Replace the blown fuse with NSN
However, if you have a
serial number starting with
LM, you now get 24 months
from startup. And, if your
generator has had a defective
coil windings failure, you
get 48 months!
