TYPICAL AC GENERATOR (GEN-SET)

OVERVIEW

If installed the generator (gen-set) is used to provide on

board alternating current (AC) when the vessel is unplugged

from the dockside cord. Generator frequency known as

hertz is domestically set at 60 while overseas countries

normally require a setting of 50. As the generator reaches

full rated no load output (amps) at 60 hertz it should display

120 volts. At 50 hertz it should display 230 volts.

The generator is located in the engine room. Some basic

system components are identiﬁ ed below.

Typical Generator Fuel System

The generator is supplied by the same fuel tanks as the

engines. The fuel system features an in-line remote fuel ﬁ lter

located below the generator. It’s job is to keep ﬁ ne particles

and water out of the generator fuel system. Refer to the

vendor information for periodic maintenance schedules.

Clean fuel is the life line of generator performance.

The generator features a sound enclosure which reduces

noise and enables quick access for most inspections,

troubleshooting and routine maintenance.
