6.2.2 Dismantling format SAE

For dismantling follow in reverse the instructions given
at section 6.2.1.
Be sure that the transit bar that holds rotor
in position is placed before any transport of
the generator.
WARNING!

6.2.3 Tightening torques

For mechanical connections it is recommended to use
screws class 10.9.
The tightening torques are shown in the following table:

Electrical connections have to be done with cables with
sections suitable for the nominal current values and
distances.
Refer to following drawing:
Incorrect cables or connections not properly
done, can cause dangerous overheating.
WARNING!
The generator housing has to be connected to earth on
the base of the generating set. If flexible antivibration
dampers are mounted between the generator housing
and its base, an earth conductor should be connected in
parallel through the flexible support and be adequately
sized (usually half the section of the main line cables).
By the feet on the housing there is are 4 M8 threaded
holes for the earthing of the housing (see figure) for
SK225 and M10 for SK250 series.
Make sure the earthing procedure is carried
out properly.

6.4 Preliminary controls

6.4.1 Control of electrical insulation

Before starting up the generating set or after long
shutdowns, check the insulation resistance of the
windings to earth.
Disconnect the AVR (voltage regulator)
before carrying out this test.
CAUTION!
The results must be over 2 MOhm. If this is not the
case, the alternator alone should be oven dried at 80 -
100°C for 6 hours.
Before carrying out this operation remove the voltage
regulator and the emc filter.
The windings are tested under high voltage
during production. Additional high-voltage
tests can weaken the insulation thereby
reducing the working lifespan. If a high-
IMPORTANT!
voltage test should prove necessary for
customer approval, these tests should be
carried out at lower voltages.

6.4.2 Direction of rotation

The generators are designed for clockwise rotation,
viewed from the coupling side (unless otherwise
specified on order) to produce a U-V-W phase
sequence (according to IEC 60034-8). If rotation has
to be reversed after delivery ask the Sincro Technical
Office for the relevant wiring diagrams.
The generators are supplied with a two-directional fan.

6.4.3 Control of voltage and frequency

Control that the voltage and frequency values required
by the generating set correspond to the generator data
plate.
The generator leaves the production line with
a star connection (unless otherwise specifi ed
on order) which is used as reference for its
