Generator Grounding  
Outdoor Installation  
To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to  
the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH  
ground.  
Install the generator in a area that is free of debris,  
bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the  
generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or  
shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that  
the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby  
homes.  
Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC)  
provides guide lines for proper grounding and specifies that  
the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system  
of the building as close to the point of cable entry as  
practical.  
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture  
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from  
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration  
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.  
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following  
grounding requirements:  
1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the  
generator to earth ground.  
a. Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.  
b. Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.  
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive  
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to engine  
and alternator parts.  
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.  
CAUTION - EXHAUST HAZARD  
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  
When connecting the generator to  
any buildings electrical system  
ALWAYS consult with a licensed  
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.  
NOTE  
electrician.  
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-600SSV — GENERAL INFORMATION  
DCA-600SSVWhisperwatt™ Series Familiarization  
Open Delta Excitation System  
Generator  
The DCA-600SSV generator is equipped with the state of  
the art "Open-Delta" excitation system. The open delta  
system consist of an electrically independent winding wound  
among stationary windings of the AC output section.  
The MQ Power Model DCA-600SSV is a 528 kW generator  
(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/Hour Meter Gauge  
WaterTemperature Gauge / WaterTemp.Alarm Lamp  
Oil Pressure Gauge / Oil Pressure Alarm Lamp  
Charging Alarm Lamp  
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.  
Fuel Level Gauge / Low Fuel Warning Alarm Lamp  
Pre-Heat Button / Pre-Heat Lamp  
Air Filter Alarm Lamp  
Engine Speed Switch  
Battery Switch  
Emergency Stop Button  
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are  
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.  
Generator Control Panel  
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.

DCA-600SSV— LOAD APPLICATION  
Single Phase Load  
Three Phase Load  
When calculating the power requirements for 3-phase power  
use the following equation:  
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator  
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage and  
frequency 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.  
Motors and motor-driven  
equipment draw much greater  
current for starting than during  
operation.  
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.  
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 5.  
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE  
When connecting a resistance load such as an  
incandescent lamp or electric heater, a capacity of up to  
the generating set’s rated output (kW) can be used.  
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 5 below  
when connecting loads.  
When connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a  
capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW)  
multiplied by 0.6 can be used.

Coolant (Ethylane Glycol [Green] / Water — 50/50 mix)  
Use only drinkable tap water. If hard water or water with  
many impurities is used, the inside of the engine and radiator  
may become coated with deposits and cooling efficiency  
will be reduced.  
When the antifreeze is mixed with  
water, the antifreeze mixing ratio  
must be less than 50%.  
NOTE  
Cleaning the Radiator  
An anticorrosion additive added to the water will help prevent  
deposits and corrosion in the cooling system. See the engine  
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  
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.  
Air Cleaner  
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it in  
accordance with the Volvo 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 Volvo  
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 10 for engine and radiator, coolant capacities. Make  
sure the coolant level in the recovery tank is always between  
the "H" and the "L" markings.

When connecting battery do the following:  
This unit is of negative ground DO NOT connect in reverse.  
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified  
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level are  
not properly maintained. Add only distilled water when  
replenishment is necessary.  
1. NEVER connect the battery cables to the battery  
terminals when the ignition switch is in either the Pre-  
Heat, RUN, or START position. ALWAYS make sure  
that the ignition switch is in the STOP position when  
connecting the battery.  
DO NOT over fill. Check to see whether the battery cables  
are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting or  
malfunctions. Always keep the terminals firmly tightened.  
Coating the terminals with an approved battery terminal  
treatment compound. Replace battery with only  
recommended type battery.  
2. Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment  
compound around both battery terminals.This will ensure  
a good connection and will help prevent corrosion around  
the battery terminals.  
If the battery cable is connected  
incorrectly, electrical damage to the  
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of  
the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity  
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is

chamber and high fuel consumption. Change air cleaner  
more frequently if these conditions exists.  
Fuel Addition  
Fuel Hoses – inspect nylon and rubber hoses for signs  
of wear, deteration and hardning.  
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season  
and locations).  
FuelTank Lining inspect the fuel tank lining for signs  
of excessive amounts of oil or other foreign matter.  
Removing Water from the FuelTank  
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer  
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.  
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.  
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 diesel fuel.  
Replacing Fuel Filter  
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 500  
hours or so.  
Cleaning Inside the Fuel Tank  
Drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely. Using a spray  
washer (Figure 69) wash out any deposits or debris that have  
accumulated inside the fuel tank.  
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.  
Vent any air

Air Removal  
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS  
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 VOLVO Engine  
Manual for details.  
Allow engine to cool when flushing out  
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot  
could cause serious burns from water or  
steam.  
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.  
Radiator Cleaning  
The radiator (Figure 70) should be sprayed (cleaned)  
with a high pressure washer when excessive amouts of  
dirt and debris have accumulated on the cooling fins or  
tube.When using a high pressure washer, stand at least  
5 feet (1.5 meters) away from the radiator to prevent  
damage to the fins and tube.  
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 29.  
Replacing Oil Filter  
Remove the old oil filter.  
Apply a film of oil to the gasket on the new oil filter.  
Install the new oil filter.  
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.  
Flushing Out Radiator and Replacing Coolant  
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.  
Figure 70. Air Cleaner/Indicator  
Generator Storage  
For longe term storage of the generator the following is  
recommended:  
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for  
signs of leakage.  
Fill the fuel tank completely. Treat with a fuel stabilizer  
if necessary.  
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.  
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine  
manufaturer.  
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if  
necessary with fresh oil.  
Close radiator cap tightly.  
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.  
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.  
Disconnect the battery.  
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.  
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.

DCA-600SSV — MAINTENANCE  
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 71). 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.

DCA-600SSV —TRAILER BRAKES MAINTENANCE  
Electric Brakes  
Electrically actuated brakes (Figure 72) are similar to  
hydraulic brakes. The basic difference is that hydraulic  
brakes are actuated by an electromagnet. Listed below are  
some of the advantages that electric brakes have over  
hydraulic brakes:  
Brake system can be manually adjusted to provide the  
corrected braking capability for varying road and load  
conditions.  
Brake system can be modulated to provide more or less  
braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing  
vehicle.  
Brake system has very little lag time between the time  
the vehicle’s brakes are actuated and the trailer’s brakes  
are actuated.  
Brake system can provide an independent emergency  
brake system.  
Figure 72. Electric Brake Components  
Brake Drums (or discs), Linings, and Hoses  
Remember in order to properly synchronize the tow vehicle’s  
braking to the trailer’s braking, can only be accomplished by  
road testing. Brake lockup, grabbiness or harshness is due  
to lack of synchronization between the tow vehicle and the  
trailer being towed or under-adjusted brakes.  
Brake drums or discs must not have cracks longer than one  
half the width of the friction area. Linings must not be loose,  
soaked with oil or grease or be dangerously thin. Mechanical  
parts must be in place, not broken or missing. Check that  
all air hoses connected to the brake chambers are not worn  
or cut due to rubbing.  
Before any brake synchronizations adjustments can be  
made, the trailer brakes should be burnished-in by applying  
the brakes 20-30 times with approximately a 20 m.p.h. de-  
crease in speed, e.g. 40 m.p.h. to 20 m.p.h. Allow ample  
time for brakes to cool between application. This allows the  
brake shoes to slightly be seated into the brake drum sur-  
face.  
Air Leaks  
Always check for brake air leaks before towing the trailer.  
NEVER tow the trailer with an brake air leak problem. The  
possibility exists of brake failure.  
Table 15. Electric Brake Troubleshooting  
Figure 72. displays the major electric brake components that  
will require inspection and maintenance. Please inspect  
these components as required. SeeTable 15.Electric Brake

Magnets For All Electric Brakes  
To make certain an electrically-operated braking system will  
function properly, you must have your dealer inspect the  
magnets at least once a year, or each 12,000 miles. See  
the brake manual for wear and current inspection instruc-  
tions.

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 71. DO NOT  
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten  
each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 17.  
3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.  
Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.
