OVERLOAD PROTECTION FOR
ENGINE DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Engine cranking, start up and running are controlled
by a solid state engine controller circuit board.
Battery voltage is delivered to that circuit board via 10
amp circuit breaker and 14 amp in-line fuse. These
overcurrent protection devices will open if circuit is
overloaded.
CAUTION! If a circuit breaker opens or a
fuse element melts, you should find the
cause of the overload before resetting the
circuit breaker or replacing the fuse.
10 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER
If the circuit breaker opens due to an overload, you
cannot crank or start the engine. The circuit breaker
is a “push-to-reset” type. For emergency shutdown,
pull the circuit breaker open. Also see “Generator
Control Panel” on Page 5.
14 AMP FUSE
If the fuse element melts open, you cannot crank or
start the engine. If you must replace the fuse, use
only identical 14 amp fuse (Figure 9).
30 AMP FUSE
The generator set battery is charged during operation
by a DC alternator, driven by the engine. This 30
amp fuse protects the charging circuit against over­
load. Should you need to replace the fuse, use only
an identical 30 amp fuse (Figure 10).
