LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS Continued
STARTER
The engine starter motor (figure 1, sheet 2, item 8) is located on the right rear side of the engine. The electric starter engages
the flywheel mechanically to start the diesel engine.
LOAD BOARD
The load board (9) connects load cables to the TQG with heavy duty connector lugs and nuts.
RECONNECTION BOARD
The reconnection board (10) is used to change generator output voltage for different load applications. The TQG can be
configured for 120/208 Vac or 240/416 Vac operation for 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
MAIN CONTACTOR
The main contactor K1 (11) controls generator load output to the load.
AC GENERATOR
The generator (12) used in the 100 kW TQG is Marathon Electric model DOD 431 FR, designed to meet military
applications for the TQG. The generator is a brushless, single-bearing, rotating-rectifier generator. It is close-coupled to the
engine via flexible drive disks. Each generator is made up of five major components: main stator (armature), main rotor
(field), exciter stator (field), exciter rotor (armature), and rotating rectifier assembly.
