Equipment that supplies electrical power can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment or property. The operator must strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions. Safe practices have been developed from past experience in the use of power source equipment. While certain practices below apply only to electrically-powered equipment, other practices apply to engine-driven equipment, and some practices to both.

SHOCK PREVENTION

Bare conductors, electrically-live

or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, equipment can fatally shock a person. Have a certified

electrician verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn what terminals and parts are electrically HOT. Avoid hot spots on machine. Use proper safety clothing, procedures, and test equipment.

ez;; z;E;t, do not work in damp areas. Stand on a dry rubber mat or use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided.

Keep clothing dry, and never work alone.

1. Installation and Grounding of Electrically Powered Equipment ,

Equipment driven by electric motors (rather than by diesel or gasoline engines) must be installed and maintained in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and other applicable codes. A power disdonnect switch or circuit breaker must be located at the equipment. Check the nameplate for volta e, frequency, and phase requirements. If only 3-phase power is availab e, f connect any single- hase rated equipment to only two wires of the 3-phase line. DO NOT CONNE T E the equipment grounding conductor (lead) to the third live wire of the 3-phase line, as this makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, which can cause a fata? zil=imK.- P---P

STATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR, PART NO. 430538A

CHAPTER 1. DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

SECTION 2. DESCRIPTION

1. Unit Assembly t ‘I

A. The 430538A voltage regulator (Fig. 1) is designed primarily for use with the higher voltage output generator

sets which are operated in parallel and which require voltage droop compensation, but do not require line drop

compensation. The regulator provides 1% voltage recovery time for all loads up to 100% of rated load on a three-phase, four-wire, 400-Hz brushless alternator. It provides field excitation power for a rotary exciter and

regulates alternator voltage by varying the exciter field power as required to meet varying alternator load con-

ditions to hold the alternator voltage constant. The maximum continuous rating of this regulator is 4.9 am- peres at 125 volts DC.

8. The voltage regulator consists of seven basic, interconnected circuits. They are:

(1) Voltage detection circuit

(2) Voltage comparison circuit

(3) Transistorized pre-amplifier

(4) Power stage full-wave single-phase magnetic amplifier

(5) Damping circuit

(6) Droop circuit

(7) Voltage build-up circuit

C. Any deviation of the alternator voltage from its set, regulated level is sensed by the voltage detection and com- parison circuits. A signal is fed from the comparison circuit into the transistorized pre-amplifier, amplified, and

used to drive the magnetic amplifier. The magnetic amplifier output changes in response to this signal, chang-

ing the field power of the rotary exciter enough to return the alternator voltage to its regulated value. The

voltage at which the alternator is regulated may be adjusted with the voltage adjustment rheostat (2).

D. Three-phase, 115-V, 400-Hz operating power is supplied by the generator set alternator. When the regulator

is used on 115/200-V machines, power is routed directly from alternator output to the regulator. When used

on higher voltage machines such as the 575-V unit, power is supplied through a three-phase transformer.

2. Components

Refer to Figure 1. Components of these basic circuits are mounted in two major subassemblies which are the droop

chassis assembly (6), and the sensing and pre-amplifier chassis assembly (15). Receptacle connectors (7, 9, and 11)

provide quick connect-disconnect facilities for interconnecting wire leads. The two subassemblies are mounted on

a chassis (18) along with other main components of the regulator, which include a resistor (I), voltage adjusting

rheostat (2), fuse (12) and fuseholder (13), nineteen-pin receptacle connector (14), and reactor (17).

3. Detailed Circuit Descriptions

A: Voltage Detection Circuit i 4 I

(I) Refer to Figure 2. This circuit consists of three single-phase transformers (T501, T502, T503); three diodes (CR501, CR502, CR5031 connected as a three-phase, half-wave rectifier; six diodes,(CR504 thru CR5091 connected as three single-phase, full wave center tap rectifiers; and four blocking diodes (CR510

thru CR513). The transformer primaries are connected as a three-phase, four wire Y to the alternator output voltage. The transformer secondaries are center-tapped, with the center taps joined together to form a common negative for the three single-phase rectifier and the three-phase, half-wave rectifier. The

filtered output of each of the single-phase rectifiers is proportioned to a given phase voltage. The out- put of the three-phase, half-wave rectifier is proportional to the average of the three generator-phase

voltages. The positive outputs of the three single-phase rectifiers are connected to a common point

through blocking diodes (CR51 1, CR512, CR513). Part of the three-phase, half-wave rectifier voltage,

as determined by the ratio of the resistors (R501 and R502) is connected through blocking diode CR510

to this same point. The blocking diodes prevent current flow from one of the four rectifiers into the filter circuit of any other rectifier.

(21 The functions of the voltage detection circuit are to provide a filtered DC voltage proportional to the

alternator voltage and to sense the highest single alternator phase voltage if the phase voltages are not

balanced. The three-phase, half-wave rectifier senses the average phase voltage and the three single-phase,

full-wave rectifiers each sense a single phase. Resistors R501 and R502 are scaled such that the portion

of the three-phase half-wave fed through blocking diode CR510 is slightly higher than the three single-

phase outputs when the alternator phase voltages are balanced. If the three-phase voltages are not equal,

the rectifier voltage corresponding to the highest phase voltage is higher than the average voltage signal.

The output of the voltage detection circuit is thus a filtered DC voltage proportional to the average

alternator phase voltage if the phase voltages are balanced and proportional to the highest phase volt- age if the voltages are not balanced.

8. The Voltage Comparison Circuit

(1) The comparison circuit is a simple voltage reference bridge consisting of three fixed resistors (R506,

R508, R509), a potentiometer (R571) and a voltage reference diode (VR501). These components are

connected to form a bridge in which the DC output of the voltage detection circuit is compared to a fixed voltage reference. A voltage proportional to the difference between the reference and the input

voltage to the bridge appears between the slider of the potentiometer and the positive side of the reference diode. This voltage is a function both of the generator voltage and the position of the potenti- ometer slider.

(2) The function of the voltage comparison circuit is to compare part of the DC output voltage of the de-

tection circuit with a fixed DC reference voltage and derive from their difference a signal suitable for driving a DC amplifier. It is in this circuit that the voltage at which the alternator regulates is establish-

ed. Varying the position of the slider on the potentiometer changes the fraction of the voltage com-

pared to the reference and varies the driving signal of the DC amplifier.

STATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR, PART NO. 430538A

C. The Transistorized Pre-amplifier

(1) The pre-amplifier consists of two transistors (Q501, Q502); two resistors (R507, R511); a zener diode

(VR502); a “free-wheeling” diode (CR514); and a filter capacitor (C505). These components are con-

nected in a two-stage DC amplifier circuit obtaining power from the three-phase, half-wave rectifier,

of the voltage detection circuit and using the power to drive the control winding of the magnetic amplifier

in response to a signal from the voltage comparison bridge. Resistors (R507 and R511) limit the transistor

currents to safe levels, the filter capacitor keeps the ripple low in the input signal, and the zener diode and

“free-wheeling” diode protect the output transistor from voltage spikes from the reactor control coil.

(2) The transistorized pre-amplifier amplifies the output signal from the voltage comparison circuit and drives

the magnetic amplifier with this amplifier output.

D. The Power Stage Full-Wave Single-Phase Magnetic Amplifier

(1) This circuit consists of a single-phase, full-wave reactor (L505) and a full-rectifier (CR531 thru CR534) connected as a self-saturating magnetic amplifier. The saturable reactor has two load windings (I-2, 3-4) on separate cores and two control windings (5-6, 7-8) linking both cores.

(2) The load windings are connected with the rectifiers in such a manner that only one of the load windings

conducts for each half cycle of alternator voltage. This results in a net DC voltage on each reactor load

winding, causing the reactor cores to saturate in the absence of a control signal. The control winding is

driven with DC power in such a manner to oppose this self saturation, partially or completely desaturat-

ing the amplifier cores in response to the pre-amplifier output.

(3) The magnetic amplifier rectifies AC voltage from the alternator and uses the DC thus obtained to excite

the rotary exciter in response to a control signal from the DC pre-amplifier. The impedance of the re-

actor load windings, in series with the magnetic amplifier rectifier, is varied by the control signal to

control the exciter field power.

E. The Damping Circuit

(1) The damping circuit includes a transformer (T504); a limiting resistor (R510); a variable resistor (R551);

a potentiometer (R572); and two capacitors (C506, C507). The transformer primary is connected to the regulator output through resistors (R510 and R551). The transformer secondary is connected across the potentiometer. That part of the potentiometer between the slider and one end is in series with the in-

put to the transistor pre-amplifier and is filtered by one of the capacitors. The other capacitor connects

from the positive side of the voltage comparison circuit to the potentiometer.

(2) The damping circuit detects changes in the regulator output and feeds energy pulses opposing the changes into the transistor pre-amplifier. The damping circuit affects the transient behavior of the regulated al- ternator system, preventing hunting, oscillation, and excessive overshoot of the alternator voltage follow- ing load changes. The damping rheostat affects mostly the amplitude of the damping signal. The rate

potentiometer affects both phasing and amplitude of the signal. Capacitor (C506) serves to shift the phase of the sensing signal, reducing the system response time.

F. Voltage Droop Compensation Circuit

The purpose of this circuit is !to Insure that the load is shared equally by generator sets connected in parallel and to counteract and eliminate circulating currents between paralleled generator sets.

For any number of reasons, such as slight differences in output voltage, current, etc., one generator

could drive or “motor” another generator connected in parallel (to a common bus) if it were not for the

droop compensation circuit. It may be noted here that the droop circuit is not required and may be turned OFF when the generator set is operated alone.

The droop compensation circuit functions to maintain a field excitation that will produce an output voltage

which is the same as voltage in other paralleled generators.

The droop circuit consists of a current sensing transformer (T17) (which is not a component part of the

voltage regulator and which is located on the generator output “C” phase cable); a rheostat (R552) and

switch (S501) are connected in parallel across the current transformer (T17) output leads; and two single- phase transformers (T505 and T506) which supply a signal to voltage detection circuit transformers (T501

and T502).

In the event that the generator is driving or “motoring” another generator set connected in parallel, the transformer (T17) will sense the reactive component of the load and circulating current. The vectorially

increased transformer signal caused by the reactive load will also be reflected in transformers (T505 and

T506) in “A” and “B” phases.

This increased voltage signal will be sensed by the voltage detection circuit which causes excitation voltage

to the exciter field to be lowered until the load is balanced and no circulating current flows between the

generators.

The amount of voltage droop is approximately 3% for each 100 Amps of reactive load. Droop is adjustable

by the rheostat (R552) which is set at the factory. The voltage droop required to eliminate excessive cir-

culating currents between paralleled generator sets reduces the voitage regulator accuracy by more than

an acceptable amount. To preserve regulator accuracy and allow generator sets in a paralleled operation to

share inductive reactive loads with no decrease in the generator system voltage, crosscurrent compensation (reactive differential compensation) is used.

Cross-current compensation is achieved by cross-connecting secondary leads of current sensing transformers (T17 mentioned above). Signals from current sensing transformers thus connected, cancel each other when

line currents are proportional and in phase. Voitage drop normally caused by the paralleling circuit is eliminat-

ed and regulator accuracy is maintained.

When a single generator set is used in an installation with no thought of paralleling, the droop compensation

switch (S501) should be placed in OFF position.

When generator sets are used in a paralleled installation, the switch must be in ON position at all times. Droop

compensation is turned OFF automatically by components in the generator set when it is operating alone in a

paralleled installation.

G. The Voltage Build-Up Circuit

The voltage build-up circuit c& ‘% SI ts of a relay (K501) with normally closed contacts connected across the

load windings of the power reactor and a resistor (R512) in series with the relay coil. When the machine is

first started, the alternator voltage from residual magnetism is applied through the relay contacts and the mag-

netic amplifier rectifier to the exciter field circuit. This causes the exciter voltage to increase and makes the

alternator voltage build up. When the alternator voltage rises high enough to power the regulator, the relay

coil, connected to the voltage detection circuit, is energized. This actuates the relay and opens the normally

closed contacts shunting the reactor load coils, allowing the magnetic amplifier to control the exciter field power.

CHAPTER 1. DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

SECTION 3.j liNSTALLATlON AND PREPARATION FOR USE

1. Installation

A. General

(I ) This voltage regulator is designed primarily for drawer type mounting, however it is not attitude sensitive and may be mounted in any position without affecting its operation. In some installations it is mounted in what appears to be a backward position which may make reading of the cable compensation adjusting, instruction plate somewhat difficult.

(2) The regulator does not dissipate large amounts of power, but certain components need a reasonable amount of air for convection cooling. For this reason, the regulator should not be mounted in a small

airtight enclosure which would prevent air circulation around it.

(3) Four mounting holes (one in each corner of the main chassis) are provided for attaching the regulator.

(4) Position the regulator in its mounted location and attach with four each screws, washers, and nuts.

B. Connections

All electrical connections to the regulator are made through a nineteen pin, receptacle connectror (l-2,14,

Fig. 1) which is bracket mounted on the chassis. (See connection diagram Figure 1.)

2. Preparation for Use

A. No special preparation is necessary to place the regulator in service other than the following checks and in-

spections:

(I) Check all terminal lug type connections for security.

(2) Check all plug and receptacle type connectors to make certain they are firmly mated.

B. It may be necessary to adjust a new regulator at initial start-up after installation (see Chapter 2, Section 4).

CHAPTER 2. MAINTENANCE

SECTION $1. DESCRlPTlON AND OPERATION

I ‘I 1. Sequence and Theory of Operation

A description of the sequence of events, which occur when the static voltage regulator is in operation, is presented ’

here to give maintenance personnel a better understanding of how and why the unit operates, and thus assist them

in the adjustment, troubleshooting and repair of the equipment.

A. When the machine is started, the rotary exciter is excited from alternator residual magnetism through the starting relay and the magnetic amplifier rectifier. As the rotary exciter voltage increases, alternator excitation

increases and the alternator voltage builds up. The voltage detection circuit of the regulator receives this volt-

age, rectifies and filters it, and feeds it into the voltage comparison circuit. When the voltage becomes high

enough, the build-up relay switches the reactor load windings into the circuit. The magnetic amplifier reactor saturates from self saturation, presenting a low impedance to the alternator voltage allowing the exciter field

power to increase as alternator voltage increases.

B. As the alternator voltage approaches its regulated value, the reference bridge voltage increases. The voltage

across the reference diode remains constant, clamping the emitter of the NPN input transistor to a fixed voltage above negative. The base voltage of the transistor increases as the bridge voltage increases. The transistor be-

comes forward biased and conducts, turning on the PNP transistor in series with the reactor control coil.

This allows current to flow in the magnetic amplifier reactor control winding in a direction opposing self

saturation and the reactor core becomes less saturated. As the reactor desaturates, the impedance to the alternator voltage by the raactor load winding increases, The rectified current flowing in the exciter field

from the magnetic amplifier is limited by the increasing reactor impedance. When the alternator voltage

reaches the regulated value, the rectified three-phase voltage of the sensing circuit is just enough to cause

the magnetic amplifier output to excite the exciter sufficiently to maintain the alternator voltage at its reg ulated level.

C. The voltage at which the alternator is regulated may be varied by changing the position of the slider on the

“Volts Adjust” potentiometer. This increases or decreases the potential of the base of the pre-amplifier input

transistor, changing that transistor’s driving signal. Increasing the potential of the slider with respect to the

detection circuit negative causes regulated voltage to decrease. Decreasing the slider potential causes the

voltage to increase.

D. Voltage Regulation

(I 1 Load applied

When the alternator is loaded, its terminal voitage decreases, lowering the rectified three-phase voltage

of the voltage detection circuit. The base potential of the pre-amplifier input transistor is directly pro-

portional to the detection circuit DC voltage, which is, in turn, directly proportional to the alternator voltage. The potential of the emitter is the constant potential of the reference voltage. When the alter- nator voltage drops, the voltage from base to emitter of the transistor decreases. The transistor collector current, flowing from the base of the second stage transistor, decreases, lowering the output of the second stage transistor. The lower control current in the reactor control winding allows reactor self saturation to

make the reactor core more saturated. As the reactor saturates, its impedance decreases and the rectified

current flowing in the rotary exciter field increases. The alternator voltage increases until the voltage re-

turns to its regulated value.

(2) Load removed

i 6 When a load is removed from the alternator, the alternator voltage rises. The rectified three-phase voltage

in the sensing circuit also rises, while the emitter potential clamped by the reference voltage, remains

constant. The base to emitter voltage tends to increase, turning the transistor further on. The second

stage transistor turns on more, increasing the control current of the magnetic amplifier. This causes’s

decrease in the reactor core saturation, decreasing the regulator output power and lowering the machine

excitation until the alternator voltage returns to its regulated value.

j &CTION 2. TROUBLESHOOTING

1. General

Troubleshooting is an orderly process of checking and eliminating possible causes of trouble until the exact cause

of a trouble is found. As a rule, the best place to start looking for the cause of a trouble in a circuit is at the source

of power. Continue testing and checking the circuit, step-by-step, in an orderly manner, until the cause of trouble is located.

2. Troubleshooting Chart

A. Description

Refer to Figure 1. The troubleshooting chart lists information under three (3) headings:

(I) Trouble

(2) Probable cause

(3) Remedy

8. Use of the Troubleshooting Chart

(I) The troubleshooting chart is furnished to provide maintenance and repair personnel with a time-saving guide in locating troubles. The chart makes it possible for the electrician to go directly to the source of

trouble without checking an entire circuit.

NOTE: See the Schematic Diagram for location of parts identified by reference designation in the

troubleshooting chart. Also see 3-1, Fig. 1 for identification by part number.

(2) If the cause of a trouble is an uncommon one and cannot be located by use of the chart, then the only

alternative is to completely check the affected circuit(s).

(3) All of the troubles listed in the chart are not necessarily caused by a defective voltage regulator. See the

applicable ground power (or other) manual for additional trouble causes and iemedies.

CHAPTER 2. MAINTENANCE

SECTION 3. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

1. General ’

It is recommended that the voltage regulator be removed from its mounted position and placed on a workbench

before any removal of components is attempted, with the exception of the fuse, fuseholder, etc., which are easily

accessible.

2. Removal of Voltage Regulator

A. If the unit is tray mounted, disconnect main connector (I-2; 14, Fig. 1) and slide tray out of its compartment.

Exercise care at all times to avoid dropping the unit.

B. Remove attaching hardware and lift unit out of tray.

C. Place the unit on a clean workbench.

3. Removal of Regulator Main Components and Subassemblies

There are no special instructions required for removal of regulator main components. Use standard electrical

industry practices.

4. Installation of Regulator Main Components and Subassemblies

Install regulator components in accordance with good industry practices, making certain that all electrical connec-

tions are tight and all attaching hardware is securely installed.

CHAPTER 2. MAINTENANCE

SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT AND TEST

1. Adjustment i ‘I

A. General

(1) When a new voltage regulator is first put in service, it may require up to four separate adjustments.

(2) The adjustments are for generator voltage control, damping, rate, and line droop compensation.

(3) Except for output voltage adjustment, the generator should be operating under light load when adjust- ments are made.

B. Adjust Voltage Control

(1) The output voltage at which the generator is regulated is adjustable by this rheostat control (I-2; 2, Fig. 1).

(2) Turn the rheostat knob clockwise to increase generator output voltage, and counterclockwise to decrease

voltage.

(3) Observe the output voltage as indicated by the voltmeter which is located on the control panel.

(4) It may be necessary to readjust the voltage control after other adjustments are completed.

C. Adjust Damping Gain

The gain adjustment for the damping circuit is a 1500-ohm variable resistance in series with the primary wind-

ing of the damping transformers. This resistor is in the form of a screwdriver adjustable potentiometer (8)

with a locking nut, located on the right side of the end of the sensing and pre-amplifier assembly. Turning the

potentiometer screw clockwise increases the resistance, decreasing the system damping and making the regu-

lator less stable. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise decreases the resistance, improving the reg-

ulator stability but slowing the regulator response. This resistance is set at the factory for satisfactory response times and should not ordinarily require additional adjustment, however if adjustment becomes necessary, pro-

ceed as follows:

(I) Loosen the potentiometer adjusting screw lock nut.

(2) Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise, with a screwdriver, to improve generator output stability.

(3) Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to decrease regulator response time.

Best adjustment is approximately 314 of full travel clockwise.

(4) Tighten the lock nut securely after the adjustment has been completed.

Ott 13180 24

Page 1

OPERATION AND MAINT-ANUAL TM-760

STATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR, PART NO. 430538A

D. Adjust Damping Rate

The rate adjustment is a 2500-ohm potentiometer (10) connected across the secondary of the damping trans-

former. Both the amplitude of the damping signal and its phasing are affected by this potentiometer. Because

of this, a relatively large change in system performance is obtained with a relatively small change in its setting.

When the screw is turned full counterclockwise, the amplitude of the damping signal fed into the transistor

pre-amplifier is minimum. When the screw is set full clockwise, the signal is maximum. The system may be

unstable with this potentiometer set at either maximum or minimum because of the phase shift. The potenti-

ometer is set and locked at the factory for good system transient response and should not need further adjust- ment. If the potentiometer does need adjustment, proceed as follows:

(7) Loosen the adjusting screw lock nut.

(2) Turn the adjusting screw to near its full counterclockwise position.

(3) Turn the adjusting screw slowly clockwise while observing the generator output voltage on a lightly damped voltmeter. The generator output voltage will oscillate until a certain point of adjustment is

reached, at which it will abruptly become steady.

The best adjustment for the system will usually be reached when the screw is turned just slightly (5O

to lOoI beyond this point in a clockwise direction.

(4) Tighten the lock nut.

E. Voltage Droop Adjustment

The amount of voltage droop is adjusted by a rheostat (5). This adjustment is also made at the factory and should require no attention unless tampered with. The best adjustment is at or near full clockwise rotation

position.

2. Test the Voltage Regulator

After necessary adjustments have been completed, test the voltage regulator as follows:

A. Connect a voltmeter at the load end of the generator output cables.

B. Operate the machine at no load and observe voltage reading.

C. Operate the machine under load and observe voltage reading.

D. Voltage under load and no load should vary no more than 1% at the load end of the cables.

NOTE: The panel mounted voltmeter will indicate a higher voltage than indicated by a voltmeter - at the load end of the output cables. The amount of variance will depend upon cable

length and size.

An oscilloscope will give the best indication of voltage regulator performance.

CHAPTER 2. MAINTENANCE

SECTION 5. INSPECTION AND CHECK

1 ‘I 1. I nspectioh

A. General

Inspect the voltage regulator, periodically, at the same time other inspections of the generating unit are made.

8. Inspect Connectors and Terminals

(I) inspect connectors for full engagement.

(2) Inspect terminals for security.

C. Inspect Wiring

Inspect wire insulation for cracks and damage.

D. Inspect Attaching Parts

Inspect attaching hardware for security.

2. Check the Voltage Regulator

A. General

Figure 1 provides a list of electrical checks which may be performed to locate defective components in the voltage regulator. Use the chart in conjunction with the schematic and connection diagrams.

8. Conditions for Check

(1) The generator must have no load (other than the regulator).

(2) When bench testing, input must be 115-V AC, 4-wire, 3-phase, 400-Hz.

(3) A Fluke No. 8040A, five-digit multimeter is recommended for checking voltage values.

NOTE: 1. Except as noted, voltage values iisted in the chart were observed when the regulator was

supplying two amperes of direct current to the generator exciter fields. This current value may be different for some installations of the regulator and, consequently, the voltage check values may vary slightly.

2. Droop circuit tests MUST be made whenTWO generators are operating in PARALLEL at NO LOAD and with DROOP switch in ON position. Values indicated by an asterisk*

must be checked under these conditions.

the illustration by an item number which appears on the illustration. Assemblies and subassemblies which are

illustrated in their disassembled state will not be identified by an item number.

B. “HOBART PART NUMBER” Column

ALL part numbers appearing in this column are Hobart numbers. In all instances where the part is a purchased

item, the vendor’s identifying five-digit code and his part number will appear in the “NOMENCLATURE” column. Vendor parts which are modified by Hobart will be identified as such in the “NOMENCLATURE”

column. In case Hobart does not have an identifying part number for a purchased part, the “HOBART PART

NUMBER” column will reflect “NO NUMBER” and the vendor’s number will be shown in the “NOMEN-

CLATURE” column. Parts manufactured by Hobart reflect no vendor code or his part number in the “NO-

MENCLATURE”column.

C. “NOMENCLATURE” Column

The item identifying name appears in this column. The indenture method is used to indicate item relationship. Thus, components of an assembly are listed directly below the assembly and indented one space. Vendor codes

and part numbers for purchased parts are shown in this column. Hobart modification to vendor items is also

noted in this column.

D. “EFF” (Effective) Column

Code letters “A”, “B”, “C”, etc., are used in this column to indicate the use of parts when more than one

model or type of machine is covered by the parts list. Parts in this manual require no coding.

E. “UNITS PER ASSY” Column

This column indicates the quantity of parts required for an assembly or subassembly in which the part appears.

This column does not necessarily reflect the total used in the complete end item.
