4. Connect the user load cables L1 and L2 between the control box and the house.
5. Connect the ballast load (C) to the control box and user load cable. The ballast
load is rated 10-15% (maximum) higher than the rated power output of the
generator e.g. 2.2kW for model MHG-T2. As such, it will become hot, up to
100
°C. To prevent injury and the risk of fire, the ballast load must be installed in a
safe place and preferably in an additional enclosure.
6. Close the generator terminal box and the control box door. The system is now
ready for its first operation.
OPERATION
1. Check that the power conduit and forebay are free of debris.
2. Ensure that the turbine is shut down and that all supply lines are electrically dead.
The switch on the door of the control box must be in the ‘off’ position.
3. Fill the forebay and allow the water to flow freely into the penstock. The spear
valve should be fully closed, then backed out one full turn at this stage. The
turbine runner will rotate and spent water will escape through the floor of the
platform.
4. As the water flow starts to create electric power, the voltage will rise until the
voltmeter on the control box reads 230V. Once this occurs, turn the control box
switch to the ‘on’ position and then adjust the water flow with the spear valve so
that the voltage stays at 230V. The voltage will then fall to 220V after a minute or
two.
