ARMY TM 9-6115-642-10AIR FORCE TO 35C2-3-455-11MARINE CORPS TM 09247A/09248A-10/1Section II.EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION1-6The generator sets, models MEP-803A andMEP-813A (FIGURE 1-2), are fully enclosed, self-contained.skid-mounted, portable units. They are equipped with controls.instruments and accessories necessary for operation. Thegenerator sets consist of a diesel engine, brushless generator.excitation system, speed governing system, fuel system, 24VDC starting system, control system and fault system.NOTEAll locations (FIGURE 1-2) referenced inFIGURE 1-2 are given facing the control box side(rear) of the generator set.1-71-7.1The generator is powered by a fourcylinder, four cycle, fuel injected, naturally-aspirated.liquid-cooled diesel engine which occupies the front half of thegenerator set. The engine is also equipped with a fuelfilter/water separator, oil falter, and an air cleaner assembly.Protection devices automatically stop the engine duringconditions of high coolant temperature, low oil pressure, nofuel, over-voltage.1-7.2 Radiator(9).The radiator is located at the front ofthe generator set. It acts as a heat exchanger for the enginecoolant.1-7.3 Muffler(12). The muffler and exhaust tubing areconnected to the exhaust manifold on the engine. The exhaustexits from the top of the generator set housing. Gases areexhausted upward.1-7.4 Starter(15). The starter is located on the right sideof the engine. The electric starter mechanically engages theengine flywheel in order to start the diesel engine.1-7.5The batterlycharging alternator is located on the right side of the engine. Itis capable of maintaining the batteries in a state of full chargein addition to providing the required 24 VDC control power.1-7.6 Batteries(7).Two batteries are required, one oneach side of the generator set. The batteries are maintenancefree, lead acid, 12 volt type, connected in series. After starting,the generator set is capable of operating with batteriesremoved. A fuse and a diode, located behind the control panelassembly, protects the generator set if the batteries areincorrectly connected.1-4 Change 1
