open delta exCitation sYstem

This generator is equipped with the state of the art

“open-

Delta” excitation system. The open delta system consist

of an electrically independent winding wound among

stationary windings of the AC output section.
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and

D. During steady state loads, the power from the voltage

regulator is supplied from the parallel connections of A to

B, A to D, and C to D. These three phases of the voltage

input to the voltage regulator are then rectified and are the

excitation current for the exciter section.
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short

circuit occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)

switches the configuration of the open delta to the series

connection of B to C. This has the effect of adding the

voltages of each phase to provide higher excitation to the

exciter section and thus better voltage response during the

application of heavy loads.
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are

for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation

current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The

excitation does not have a

“fixed ceiling” and responds

according the demands of the required load.

engine

This generator is powered by a 4 cylinder, water cooled,

direct injection,

Izuzu Model BV-4LE2 diesel engine.

This engine is designed to meet every performance

requirement for the generator. Reference Table 2 for engine

specifications.
In keeping with MQ Power’s policy of constantly improving

its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject

to change without prior notice.

eleCtriC governor sYstem

The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the engine.

When the engine demand increases or decreases, the

governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.25%.

extension CaBles

When electric power is to be provided to various tools or

loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords

are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for

distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop

between the generator and point of use (load) is held to

a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 6) as a

guide for selecting proper extension cable size.
