excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration  
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.  
grounding requirements:  
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following

engine and alternator parts.  
a. Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.  
b. Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.  
CAUTION - EXHAUST HAZARD  
2. When grounding the generator (Figure 4) connect the  
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on  
the generator and tighten the nut fully.Connect the other  
end of the ground cable to earth ground.  
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the  
generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust  
contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be routed  
to a ventilated area.  
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground  
rod should be buried aminimum of 8 ft. into the ground.  
Indoor Installation  
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous.  
Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes  
must be vented to the outside.The engine should be installed  
at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust  
pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive  
back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively  
and possibly burn the valves.  
When connecting the generator  
to any buildings electrical  
system ALWAYS consult with  
a licensed electrician.  
NOTE  
Mounting  
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation (such  
as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to isolate  
vibration of the generator when it is running. The generator  
must set at least 6 inches above the floor or grade level (in  
accordance to NFPA 110, Chapter 5-4.1). DO NOT remove  
the metal skids on the bottom of the generator. They are to  
resist damage to the bottom of the generator and to maintain  
alignment.

DCA-150SSJU3 — GENERAL INFORMATION  
Open Delta Excitation System  
DCA-150SSJU3Whisperwatt™ Series Familiarization  
Generator  
The DCA-150SSJU3 generator is equipped with the state of  
the art "Open-Delta" excitation system. The open delta  
The MQ Power Model DCA-150SSJU3 is a 120 kW generator system consist of an electrically independent winding wound  
among stationary windings of the AC output section.  
(Figure 5) that is designed as a high quality portable (requires  
a trailer for transport) power source for telecom sites, lighting  
facilities, power tools, submersible pumps and other industrial  
and construction machinery.  
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and D.  
During steady state loads, the power from the voltage regulator  
is supplied from the parallel connections of A to B, A to D,  
and C to D. These three phases of the voltage input to the  
voltage regulator are then rectified and are the excitation  
current for the exciter section.  
Engine Operating Panel  
The “Engine Operating Panel” is provided with the following:  
Tachometer  
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short  
circuit occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)  
switches the configuration of the open delta to the series  
connection of B to C.This has the effect of adding the voltages  
of each phase to provide higher excitation to the exciter  
section and thus better voltage response during the  
application of heavy loads.  
Water Temperature Gauge  
Oil Pressure Gauge  
Charging Ammeter Gauge  
Fuel Level Gauge  
Engine Speed Switch  
Panel Light/Panel Light Switch  
Auto ON/OFF Engine Controller (MPEC)  
Preheat Lamp  
Warning Lamp  
Emergency Stop Lamp  
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are  
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.  
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation  
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The  
excitation does not have a "fixed ceiling" and responds  
according the demands of the required load.  
Generator Control Panel  
The “Generator Control Panel” is provided with the following:  
Frequency Meter (Hz)  
Engine  
AC Ammeter (Amps)  
The DCA-150SSJU3 is powered by a 6 cylinder, water  
cooled, direct injection, turbocharged John Deere  
6068HF285 Turbo Diesel Engine. This engine is designed  
to meet every performance requirement for the generator.  
Reference Table 1 for engine specifications.  
AC Voltmeter (Volts)  
Ammeter Change-Over Switch  
Voltmeter Change-Over Switch  
Voltage Regulator  
3-Pole, 400 amp Main Circuit Breaker  
“Control Box” (located behind the Gen. Control Panel)  
In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving  
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to  
change without prior notice.  
Automatic Voltage Regulator  
Diagnostic Display  
Current Transformer  
Over-Current Relay  
Electric Governor System  
Voltage Rectifer  
The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the en-  
gine. When the engine demand increases or decreases, the  
governor system regulates the frequency variation to .25%.  
Starter Relay  
Engine Controller (Computer Controlled)  
Voltage Selector Switch  
Extension Cables  
Output Terminal Panel  
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or  
loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords  
are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for  
distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop  
between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a  
minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 6) as a guide  
for selecting proper extension cable size.  
The “Output Terminal Panel” is provided with the following:  
Three 120/240V output receptacles (CS-6369), 50A  
Three auxilliary circuit breakers, 50A  
Two 120V output receptacles (GFCI), 20A  
Two GFCI circuit breakers, 20A  
Five output terminal lugs (3Ø power)

DCA-150SSJU3 — GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL  
Figure 7. Generator Control Panel  
Located behind the generator control panel is the Generator  
Control Box. This box contains some of the necessary  
electronic components required to make the generator  
function.  
The definitions below describe the controls and functions of  
the DCA-150SSJU3 Generator Control Panel (Figure 7).  
1. Frequency Meter – Indicates the output frequency in  
hertz (Hz). Normally 60 Hz.  
The Control Box is equipped with the following major  
components:  
2. AC Ammeter – Indicates the amount of current the load  
is drawing from the generator per leg selected by the  
ammeter phase-selector switch.  
Over-Current Relay  
Voltage Rectifer (AVR)  
Starter Relay  
CurrentTransformer  
Voltage Selector Switch  
Three Phase Circuit Breaker  
3. Ammeter Change-Over Switch – This switch allows  
the AC ammeter to indicate the current flowing to the  
load connected to any phase of the output terminals, or  
to be switched off. This switch does not effect the  
generator output in any fashion, it is for current reading  
only.  
Remember the overcurrent  
relay monitors the current  
flowing from the U,V, and W  
OutputTerminal Lugs to the  
load.  
NOTE  
4. Voltage Regulator Control – Allows 15% manual  
adjustment of the generator’s output voltage.  
5. ACVoltmeter Indicates the output voltage present at  
the U,V, and W Output Terminal Lugs.  
In the event of a short circuit or over current condition, it will  
automatically trip the 400 amp main breaker.  
6. Voltmeter Change-Over Switch – This switch allows  
the AC voltmeter to indicate phase to phase voltage  
between any two phases of the output terminals or to  
be switched off.  
To restore power to the Output Terminal Panel, press the  
reset button on the overcurrent relay and place the main  
circuit breaker in the closed position (ON).  
7. Main Circuit Breaker – This three-pole, 400A main  
breaker is provided to protect the the U,V,andW Output  
Terminal Lugs from overload.

DCA-150SSJU3 — LOAD APPLICATION  
Single Phase Load  
Three Phase Load  
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator When calculating the power requirements for 3-phase power  
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage, frequency  
,
use the following equation:  
and voltage requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the  
generator for operating the equipment.  
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the  
equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require 130—  
150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as  
the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor and  
starting system of the equipment.  
If 3Ø load (kVA) is not given on  
the equipment nameplate,  
approximate 3Ø load output  
maybedeterminedbymultiplying  
voltage by amperage by 1.732.  
NOTE  
If wattage is not given on the  
equipment's  
name  
plate,  
approximate wattage may be  
determined by multiplying  
nameplate voltage by the  
nameplate amperage.  
Motors and motor-driven  
equipment draw much greater  
current for starting than during  
operation.  
NOTE  
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE  
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 5 below  
when connecting loads.  
An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry the  
required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn out  
the appliance or tool and overheat the cable. See Table 6.

Lubrication Oil  
Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler  
hole, but DO NOT overfill. Make sure the generator is level.  
and verify that the oil level is maintained between the two  
notches (Figure 30) on the dipstick. See Table 9 for proper  
selection of engine oil.  
Refilling the Fuel System  
CAUTION - REFUELINGTHE GENERATOR  
ONLY properly trained personel who have read and  
understand this section should refill the fuel tank system.  
Figure 30. Engine Oil Dipstick  
This generator has an internal fuel tank located inside the  
trailer frame and may also be equipped with an environmental  
fuel tank (Figure 31). ALWAYS fill the fuel tanks with clean  
fresh #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the fuel tanks beyond their  
capacities.  
When checking the engine oil, be sure to check if the oil is  
clean. If the oil is not clean, drain the oil by removing the oil  
drain plug, and refill with the specified amount of oil as outlined  
in the John Deere Engine Owner's Manual. Oil should be  
warm before draining.  
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing  
fuel.The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.  
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not  
have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel  
immediately.

WARNING - RESPIRATORY HAZARDS  
3. Open cabinet doors on the “right side” of the generator  
(from generator control panel position). Remove fuel cap  
and fill tank (Figure 33).  
Diesel fuel and its vapors are dangerous  
to your health and the surrounding  
environment. Avoid skin contact and/or  
inhaling fumes.  
1. Level Tanks – Make sure fuel cells are level with the  
ground. Failure to do so will cause fuel to spill from the  
tank before reaching full capacity (Figure 32).  
CAUTION - REFUELINGTHE GENERATOR  
ALWAYS place trailer on firm level ground before refueling  
to prevent spilling and maximize the amount of fuel that  
can be pumped into the tank.

Cleaning the Radiator  
Coolant (Antifreeze)  
John Deere recommends Antifreeze/Summer Coolant for use  
in thier engines, which can be purchased in concentrate (and  
mixed with 50% demineralized water) or pre-diluted. See  
the John Deere Engine Owner's Manual for further details  
The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become  
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the radiator  
fins with compressed air. Cleaning inside the machine is  
dangerous, so clean only with the engine turned off and the  
negative battery terminal disconnected.  
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS  
Air Cleaner  
If adding coolant/antifreeze mix to the  
radiator, DO NOT remove the radiator cap  
until the unit has completely cooled.The  
possibility of hot! coolant exists which  
can cause severe burns.  
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it in  
accordance with the John Deere Engine Owner's Manual.  
Fan Belt Tension  
A slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or to  
insufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt for  
damage and wear and adjust it in accordance with the John  
Deere Engine Owner's Manual.  
Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the recovery  
tank. When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT remove  
the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See  
Table 12 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant  
capacities. Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank  
is always between the "H" and the "L" markings.  
The fan belt tension is proper if the fan belt bends 10 to 15  
mm (Figure 36) when depressed with the thumb as shown  
below.

General Inspection  
If the engine is operating in very dusty or dry grass  
conditions, a clogged air cleaner will result.This can lead to  
a loss of power, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion  
chamber and high fuel consumption. Change air cleaner  
more frequently if these conditions exists.  
Prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and  
inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or  
damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel,  
oil, and coolant leaks.UseTable 14 as a general maintenance  
guideline Engine Side (Refer to the Engine Instruction  
Manual)  
Fuel Addition  
Air Cleaner  
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season  
and locations).  
Every 250 hours: Remove air cleaner element and clean the  
heavy duty paper element with light spray of compressed  
air. Replace the air cleaner as needed.  
RemovingWater from the FuelTank  
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate  
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel  
tank for water contamination and drain the contents if  
required.  
Air Cleaner with Dust Indicator  
This indicator is attached to the air cleaner. When the air  
cleaner element is clogged, air intake restriction becomes  
greater and the dust indicator signal shows RED meaning  
the element needs changing or service. After changing the  
air element, press the dust indicator button to reset the  
indicator.  
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the  
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be  
reduced by keeping the tank full with dies1el fuel.

Air Removal  
Flushing Out Radiator and Replacing Coolant  
If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine,  
starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel, or  
after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system  
according to the following procedure. See the John Deere  
Engine Manual for details.  
 
Open both cocks located at the crankcase side and at  
the lower part of the radiator and drain coolant.Open the  
radiator cap while draining. Remove the overflow tank  
and drain.  
 
 
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for  
signs of leakage.  
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the switch to the  
ON” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This  
unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.  
Flush the radiator by running clean tap water through  
radiator until signs of rust and dirt are removed.DO NOT  
clean radiator core with any objects, such as a  
screwdriver.  
Check Oil Level  
Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the  
fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe damage  
to the engine. Make sure the generator is level.The oil level  
must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown  
in Figure 31.  
 
 
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.  
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine  
manufaturer.  
 
Close radiator cap tightly.  
Replacing Oil Filter  
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS  
 
 
 
 
Remove the old oil filter.  
Apply a film of oil to the gasket on the new oil filter.  
Install the new oil filter.  
Allow engine to cool when flushing out  
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot  
could cause serious burns from water or  
steam.  
After the oil cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil  
will drop slightly. Run the engine for a while and check  
for leaks before adding more oil if needed. Clean  
excessive oil from engine.  
Generator Storage  
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer  
For longe term storage of the generator the following is  
recommended:  
Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove  
dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline.  
Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not  
leak. Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or  
once a month.  
 
Fill the fuel tank completely. Treat with a fuel stabilizer  
if necessary.  
 
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if  
necessary with fresh oil.  
Replacing Fuel Filter  
 
 
 
 
 
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.  
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.  
Disconnect the battery.  
 
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 500  
hours or so.  
 
Loosen the drain plug at the lower top of the fuel filter.  
Drain the fuel in the fuel body together with the mixed  
water. DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.  
Make sure engine coolant is at proper level.  
If generator is mounted on a trailer, jack trailer up and  
place on blocks so tires do not touch the ground or block  
and completely remove the tires.  
 
Vent any air.

DCA-150SSJU3 — MAINTENANCE (HEATER/CHARGER)  
Jacket Water Heater and Internal Battery Charger  
120VAC Input Receptacles (OPTIONAL)  
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should normally  
not require charging. If the generator will be idle (not used)  
for long periods of time, apply power to the battery charger  
receptacle via commercial power using an power cord of  
adequate size.  
This generator can be optionally equipped with two 120VAC,  
20 amp input receptacles located on the output terminal  
panel.  
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via  
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal  
battery charger.  
To ensure adequate starting  
capability, always have power  
applied to the generator's  
internal battery charger.  
NOTE  
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial  
power has been supplied to them (Figure 58). To apply  
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of  
adequate size will be required (See Table 6).  
When using the generator in hot climates there is no reason  
to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the  
generator will be used in cold climates it is always a good  
idea to apply power to the jacket water heater at all times.To  
apply power to the jacket water heater simply apply power to  
the jacket water heater receptacle via commercial power  
using an power cord of adequate size.

Brakes  
Hydraulic Surge Brakes  
Trailer brakes should be inspected the first 200 miles of Hydraulic surge brakes (Figure 59) should not require any  
operation. This will allow the brake shoes and drums to seat special attention with the exception of routine maintenance

Figure 59 displays the major hydraulic surge brake  
components that will require inspection and maintenance.  
Please inspect these components as required using steps 1  
through 8 and Table 15 as listed below:  
Brake Adjustment  
1. Place the trailer on jack stands. Make sure the jack  
stands are placed on secure level ground.  
2. Check the wheel and drum for free rotation.  
3. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot  
at the bottom brake backing plate.  
4. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the

star wheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake  
shoes.  
Actuator  
5. Adjust the brake shoes outward until the pressure of the  
lining against the wheel drum makes the wheel difficult  
to turn.  
Hydraulic surge braking requires the installation of an actuator  
at the tongue of the trailer. Remember the surge or push of  
the trailer toward the tow vehicle automatically synchronizes  
the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes. As the trailer  
pushes against the tow vehicle the actuator telescopes  
together and applies force to the master cylinder, supplying  
hydraulic pressure to the trailer brakes.  
6. Adjust, rotate the star wheel in the opposite direction  
until the wheel rotates freely with slight lining drag.  
7. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the trailer to  
the ground.  
Periodically check and test the surge “actuator” to make  
sure that it is functioning correctly. Never use an undersize  
actuator.

loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts  
(suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components  
as detailed in Table 17.  
CAUTION - EYESIGHT HAZARD  
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when  
removing or installing force fitted parts.  
Failure to comply may result in serious  
injury.  
CAUTION - REPAIRINGTRAILERWHEELS  
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT  
install in inner tube to correct a leak through the rim. If the  
rim is cracked, the air pressure in the inner  
tube may cause pieces of the rim to  
explode (break off) with great force and  
cause serious eye or bodily injury.

TireWear/Inflation  
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.  
Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO NOT  
bleed air from tires when they are hot!. Check inflation  
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life  
and tread wear.

Lug NutTorque Requirements  
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel  
mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the  
fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper  
procedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:  
1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.  
2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence (see Figure 61). DO NOT  
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down.Tighten each  
lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 18.  
3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.  
Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.
