States (OCONUS)

**************************************************************************

Perform and report on factory tests and inspections prior to shipment.

Provide certified copies of manufacturer's test data and results. Test

procedures shall conform to ASME, IEEE,[ IEC,] and ANSI standards, and to

ISO requirements on testing, as appropriate and applicable. The

manufacturer performing the tests shall provide equipment, labor, and

consumables necessary for tests and measuring and indicating devices shall

be certified to be within calibration. Tests shall indicate satisfactory

operation and attainment of specified performance. If satisfactory,

equipment tested will be given a tentative approval. Equipment shall not

be shipped before approval of the factory test reports for the following

tests.

2.6.1

Engine Tests

Perform customary commercial factory tests in accordance with ISO 3046 on

each engine and associated engine protective device, including, but not

limited to the following:

a.

Perform dynamometer test at rated power. Record horsepower at rated

speed and nominal characteristics such as lubricating oil pressure,

jacket water temperature, and ambient temperature.

b.

Test and record the values that the low oil pressure alarm and

protective shutdown devices actuate prior to assembly on the engine.

c.

Test and record values that the high jacket water temperature alarm and

protective shutdown devices actuate prior to assembly on the engine.

2.6.2

Generator Tests

**************************************************************************

NOTE: Include the bracketed option below for

projects located outside the continental United

States (OCONUS)

**************************************************************************

Tests shall be performed on the complete factory assembled generator prior

to shipment. Conduct tests in accordance with IEEE Std 115, NEMA C50.10[,

IEC 60034-2], and NEMA MG 1.

2.6.2.1

Routine Tests

Perform the following routine tests on the generators and their exciters:

a.

Resistance of armature and field windings

b.

Mechanical balance

c.

Phases sequence

d.

Open circuit saturation curve and phase (voltage) balance test

e.

Insulation resistance of armature and field windings

f.

High potential test
