LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS - Continued.
GENERATOR SET (1, Figure 6).
The generator set, model MEP-803A, is a fully enclosed, self-contained skid-mounted unit. It is equipped with controls,
instruments and accessories necessary for operation. The generator set consists of a diesel engine, brushless generator,
excitation system, speed governing system, fuel system, 24 VDC starting system, control system, and fault system.
OIL FILTER (2).
The oil filter is located in the engine compartment on the left side. The filter removes impurities from the engine
lubricating oil.
DIPSTICK (3).
The dipstick is located in the engine compartment on the left side. The dipstick shows the lubricating oil level in the
engine crankcase.
FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR (4).
The fuel filter/water separator is located to the rear of the engine compartment on the left side. The element removes
impurities and water from the diesel fuel.
AC GENERATOR (5).
The AC generator is a single bearing, drip-proof, synchronous, brushless, three phase, fan-cooled generator. The
generator is coupled directly to the rear of the diesel engine.
DEAD CRANK SWITCH (6).
The Dead Crank switch is located in the engine compartment on the left side. For maintenance purposes the switch
allows the engine to be cranked without starting.
ENGINE (7).
The generator is powered by a four cylinder, four cycle, fuel injected, naturally-aspirated, liquid-cooled, diesel engine
which occupies the front half of the generator set. The engine is also equipped with a fuel filter/water separator, oil
filter, and an air cleaner assembly. Protection devices automatically stop the engine during conditions of high coolant
temperature, low oil pressure, no fuel, and/or over-voltage.
BATTERIES (8).
Two batteries are required, one on each side of the generator set. The batteries are maintenance free, lead acid, 12-volt
type, connected in series. After starting, the generator set is capable of operating with batteries removed.
WATER PUMP (9).
The water pump is located in the engine compartment on the front of the engine. The pump circulates the engine coolant
through the engine block and the radiator.
