d. Power Cable Replacement.(See figure 4-13.) There are two power cables on the power
plant – one for each generator set. This procedure is typical for both. When attaching wires, refer to
the schematic inside the switch box (figure 4-7 or 4-8, as applicable) and to the identification bands
on each of the five wires that make up each cable.
(1) Removal.
(a) Disconnect power cable from load terminals on generator set. (Refer to
TM 5-6115-584-12.)
(b) Remove 16 screws (1, figure 4-13),16 Iockwashers (2) and 16 flat washers (3)
securing cover (4) to switch box (5) and take cover off switch box.
NOTE
Tag switch terminals for identification when removing wires. If identification
bands on wires are illegible, tag wires.
(c) Remove screw (6), nut (7) and star washer (8) attaching each of three wires (9)
(black, red and blue) to its respective switch terminal (10). Take off wires.
(d) Remove nut (11) and Iockwasher (12) from load terminal L0 (13) inside switch box (5).
Take off white wire (14) associated with power cable being removed.
(e) Repeat step (d) for ground terminal El and green wire (15).
(f) Loosen power cable clamping nut (16) on outside of switch box (5) and pull cable
through cable clamp and out of box.
16) and through hole into switch box (5).
(2) Installation.
(a) Feed cable through cable clamping nut
(b) Tighten clamping nut (16) on outside of switch box (5) to prevent cable from moving.
(c) Slide terminal of white wire (14) onto load terminal L0 (12) and secure with Iockwasher
(12) and nut (11).
(d) Repeat step (c) for ground terminal E1 and green wire (15).
NOTE
Observe identification tags when installing wires.
(e) Position each of three wires (9) (black, red and blue) against underside of its respec-
tive switch terminal (10). Insert screw (6) up through wire terminal and switch terminal.
Install star washer (8) and nut (7) on screw and tighten against switch terminal. Where
an indicator light wire is also mounted to the switch terminal, the indicator light wire shall
be positioned against the underside of the switch terminal and the power cable wire shall
be positioned against the indicator light wire.
1), 16 Iockwashers (2)
(f) Position cover (4) on switch box (5) and secure with 16 screws
and 16 flat washers (3).
