6.2.3 Dismantling

For dismantling follow in reverse the instructions given at
assembly sections.

6.2.4 Tightening torques

For mechanical connections it is recommended to use
screws class 8.8.
The tightening torques are shown in the following table:

6.3 Connections and earthing

Electrical connections have to be done with cables with
sections suitable for the nominal current values and
distances.
Incorrect cables or connections not properly
done, can cause dangerous overheating.
WARNING!
Refer to following drawing:
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 two M8 threaded
holes for the earthing of the housing (see figure) for HB
and M10 for IB 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.
The results must be over 2 MOhm. If this is not the case,
Disconnect the AVR (voltage regulator)
before carrying out this test.
CAUTION!
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 with 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 specified
on order) which is used as reference for its
