parallel windings. Figure 2 is a pictorial representation
of the various stator leads on units with air-cooled
engine.

TESTING ALL STATOR WINDINGS TO GROUND:

1. Disconnect stator output leads 11 and 44 from the

generator main line circuit breaker.

2. Remove stator output leads 22 and 33 from the neutral

connection and separate the two leads.

3. Disconnect C2 connector from the side of the control

panel. The C2 connector is the closest to the back
panel. See Figure 9, page 128 for connector location.

4. Connect the terminal ends of Wires 11, 22, 33 and 44

together. Make sure the wire ends are not touching any
part of the generator frame or any terminal.

5. Connect the red test probe of the Hi-Pot tester to the

joined terminal ends of stator leads 11, 22, 33 and 44.
Connect the black tester lead to a clean frame ground
on the stator can. With tester leads connected in this
manner, proceed as follows:

a. Turn the Hi-Pot tester switch OFF.

b. Plug the tester cord into a 120 volt AC wall

socket and set its voltage selector switch to
"1500 volts".

c. Turn the tester switch "On" and observe the

breakdown lamp on tester. DO NOT APPLY
VOLTAGE LONGER THAN 1 SECOND. After
one (1) second, turn the tester switch OFF.

If the breakdown lamp comes on during the one-
second test, the stator should be cleaned and dried.
After cleaning and drying, repeat the insulation test. If,
after cleaning and drying, the stator fails the second
test, the stator assembly should be replaced.

6. Now proceed to the C2 connector. Each winding will be

individually tested for a short to ground. Insert a large
paper clip (or similar item) into the C2 connector at the
following pin locations:

Next refer to Steps 5a through 5c of the Hi-Pot
procedure.
Example: Insert paper clip into Pin 1, Hi-Pot from
Pin 1 (Wire 77) to ground. Proceed to Pin 2, Pin 3,
etc. through Pin 8.

TEST BETWEEN WINDINGS:

1. Insert a large paper clip into Pin Location 1 (Wire 77).

Connect the red tester probe to the paper clip. Connect
the black tester probe to Stator Lead 11. Refer to Steps
5a through 5c of “TESTING ALL STATOR WINDINGS
TO GROUND” on the this page.

2. Repeat Step 1 at Pin Location 3 (Wire 66A) and Stator

Lead 11.

3. Repeat Step 1 at Pin Location 7 (Wire 6). and Stator

Lead 11.

4. Connect the red test probe to Stator Lead 33. Connect

the black test probe to Stator Lead 11. Refer to Steps
5a through 5c of “TESTING ALL STATOR WINDINGS
TO GROUND” on the this page.
