Winco ECV2512-3 - Manual (Page 4)

Page 2 60706-130 7150-01
DESCRIPTION
The WINCO ECV2510/2512 PTO drive generator will
provide 120/240V single phase, 60Hz electrical service
when direct-driven. The ECV2510 requires a 1000 RPM
input shaft speed and the ECV2512 requires a 1182 RPM
input shaft speed.
NOTE: The prime mover which drives the generator must
be capable of delivering approximately 2 HP per 1000
watts output from the generator. Observe input RPM
specifications.
The generator may be under chassis mounted and driven
from a truck transmission with a PTO drive installed in it.
This generator is a rotating armature design with com-
pound field coil windings. Normal excitation is accom-
plished via the "Q" winding in the armature and a full wave
bridge rectifier. An automatic voltage regulator is installed
on the generator to maintain the correct voltage when the
unit is under load.
To reduce maintenance problems, the coupling between
the generator input shaft and rotor consists of precision
helical gearing rather than a chain link drive. The input
shaft is 1-1/8 in diameter smooth shaft with a key way and
center drilled for a roll pin. Both must be used at all times.
WINCO thoroughly tests each of these generators before
shipment. All are continuous duty rated.
IMPORTANT: THE MANUFACTURER STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS RUNNING THE GENERATOR UNDER
LOAD AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH IN ORDER TO EVAPO-
RATE ANY ACCUMULATED MOISTURE CONDENSA-
TION
UNPACKING
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
DO NOT invert generator during unpacking. The Gear-
case contains oil which will leak out if inverted during
unpacking.
Unpack the generator as follows:
1. Remove the carton.
2. Inspect the generator carefully for freight loss or dam-
age. If loss or damage is noted at time of delivery,
require that the person making the delivery make note
of the loss or damage on the freight bill, or sign the
consigner’s memo of the loss or damage. Contact the
carrier for claim procedures.
3. Remove the four bolts which hold down the generator
feet to the pallet.
4. Lift the generator from the pallet by means of the lifting
eye on the top of the generator.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery, segregate
the damaged material, and contact the carrier for claim
procedures.
“Concealed damage” means damage to the contents of a
package which is not evident when the package is deliv-
ered by the carrier, but which is discovered later. The
carrier or carriers are responsible for merchandise lost or
damaged in transit. The title to the goods rests with the
consignee when the goods are shipped FOB factory, and
only the consignee can legally file claims. Two years are
allowed in which to file suit after a claim is disallowed in
writing by the carrier.
INSTALLATION
********************
********WARNING* *********
*********************
Before proceeding with the installation, be sure the drive
line and engine are disabled and cannot accidentally
operate while the generator is being installed.
Before beginning the installation process recheck the voltage
power rating and physical size and drive line rating and
speed, horsepower etc. Be certain they can handle the
intended load and are compatible with the required vehicle
equipment voltage, phase and current ratings. Plans for
installation should be prepared with proper attention to me-
chanical and electrical engineering detail to assure a satis-
factory system installation. The information in this manual is
offered as a guide to finalizing your installation plans. The
installation sequence is summarized below:
A. Plan the installation :
1.
Space required for installation and service
access.
2. Protected location, close to electrical connections.
3. Mounting frame.
4. Clear of moisture and dirt.
5. Shielded from excess heat and cold.
B. Mounting the generator system.
C. Clear, protected source of ventilation of generator.
D. Drive line aligned within 5 degrees (10 degrees max).
E. Pre-wire system check.
F.
Initial system start-up.
G. Generator electrical power connections.
H. Final system check
A. PLAN THE INSTALLATION
1. Space Required. The space required should allow for
ample working room around and in back of generator.
A general rule to follow is 12 inches minimum clear-
ance all around the unit. This allows a service person
to repair and remove generator parts in the event
service is needed. In general, all service can be
performed from the rear generator cover or the front
gear case.
