2-43. STOPPING GENERATOR OPERATING - PARALLEL.

The following procedure applies to either generator 1 or 2 operating in parallel.

This procedure will transfer the load to generator #1, and shutdown generator #2. The procedure for shutting

down generator #1 is the REVERSE of the following procedure.

(1)

Transfer the load to generator #1 as follows:

(a)

Do both parts of this step simultaneously. Rotate the generator #1 governor motor switch (1) to RAISE.

Rotate the generator #2 governor motor switch (2) to LOWER.

(b)

Observe generator #2 wattmeter (3) and ammeter (4). As the governor motor switches (1 and 2) are rotated,

the meter readings will decrease.

(c)

When the readings on generator #2 wattmeter (3) and ammeter (4) are zero - proceed as follows:

(2)

Place the generator #2 main circuit breaker (5) in the OFF position.

(3)

Place the unit parallel switches (6 and 7) in the ON position.

(4)
