DCA-10SPX3 — GENERAL INFORMATION
DCA-10SPX3 3 FAMILIARIZATION
Generator
The MQ Power Model DCA-10SPX3 is a 10 kW
generator
that is designed as a high quality portable (requires a trailer
for transport) power source for telecom sites, lighting
facilities, power tools, submersible pumps and other
industrial and construction machinery.
Control Panel
The control panel is provided with the following:
One GFCI 120 volt receptacle, 20 amp (single-phase)
10 kW Output Terminal (UNV)
Main Circuit Breaker 45 amps
GFCI Circuit Breaker 20 amps
AC Ammeter
AC Voltmeter
Output Voltage Adjustment
Ignition Switch
Water Temperature Gauge
Oil Pressure Gauge
Warning Indicator
Frequency Meter (Hz)
Hour Meter
Ground Terminal
Open Delta Excitation System
The DCA-10SPX3 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 Leads: A, B, C and D. During light loads, the
power to the
Automatic Voltage Regulator
(AVR) is supplied
from the leads of B & C, when loads increase, the AVR
switches and accepts power from leads A & D. The output
of leads A & D increase proportionally with load. This has
the effect of adding the voltages of each phase to provide
better voltage response during heavy loads.
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are
for the sole purpose of sensing only. No power is required
from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation
current due to its independent power supply offering
maximum motor starting capabilities. The excitation does
not have a "
fixed ceiling
" and responds according the
demands of the required load.
Engine
The DCA-10SPX3 is powered by a 3-cylinder KUBOTA Model
D1403
diesel
engine. This engine is designed to meet every
performance requirement for the generator. Reference Table
5, page 19 for engine specifications.
In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to
