WARNING
DEATH or SEVERE INJURY
may result if safety precautions are not observed.
Do not operate this equipment unless it is grounded. Remove all jewelry
from fingers, wrists, and neck before working on electrical equipment.
Do not attempt to service or connect wires or cables until generator set
are shut down and fully deenergized. When working on high-voltage equiy
ment, keep one hand away from the equipment to reduce the hazard of
current flowing through vital organs of the body.
WARNING
If metal-to-metal contact is not maintained during refueling, a spark
nay result which could ignite fuel fumes. Make sure fuel nozzle stays
in contact with fuel tank filler neck.
‘WARNING
In order to avoid electrical discharge, fuel tanker must be grounded.
Make sure fuel tanker grounding strap is connected to one of the
Electric Power Unit grounding studs.
‘WARNING
Do not operate the Electric Power Unit in enclosed areas; exhaust
fumes ate deadly.
WARNING
Do not expose any part of the body to high-pressure leaks in the fuel
system of the generator set. Liquid under pressure may penetrate the
skin and cause injury.TH 5-6115-599-146P
OF ROTATION WARNING AREA
‘WARNING
Stay at least 20 feet (6.1 meters) away from the turbine engine plane
of rotation during operation and especially during startup. Plane of
rotation is shown by red area marked on the generator set. Failure to
observe this WARNING may result in personal injury or death in case of
generator failure.TM 5~-6115-599-1/
WARNING
Noise level of this generator can cause hearing damage. Ear protectors,
as recommended by the medical or safety officer, must be worn when work’
near this set.
WARNING
W1 power cable weighs about 180 pounds (81.6 kg). Do not try to carry
by yourself; get help.
WARNING
No smoking or open flame within 50 feet (15.3 meters) of the EPU when
operating or maintaining it. Do not allow fuel to drain onto ground.
‘This will create a fire hazard.
WARNING
Do not get under the generator set while it is in the air. Bodily injur
may occur.
WARNING
Hazardous electrical voltages exist within system. Do not connect or
Yemove electrical cables, or touch exposed metal portions of test leads
or terminals while performing tests with power on, - Serious electric
shock, buras, or death may result.
WARNING
Do not get under pallet assenbly while it is in the air. Bodily
injury may occur,

Section I. TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
1-10. GENERAL. This section describes the principles of operation of the
electrical and fuel systems of the Electric Power Unit (EPU), AN/MJQ-21. For
detailed information on the MEP404B Generator Set, refer to TM 5-6115-603-12,
chapter 4.
1-11, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The Electric Power Unit provides 120/208 volts ac
Power to the Information Coordination Central (ICC) and/or to the Communica~
tions Relay Group (CRG). This is done by connecting the Wl power cable from
the Power Distribution Unit to Information Coordination Central or a
Communications Relay Group. The Electric Power Unit contains an “internal fuel
source that must receive 24 volts of de power. To operate this system the W6
cable is connected to the fuel distribution unit. The fuel distribution unit
is connected to the fuel solenoid valve assembly and to the fuel-level sensors
located in the primary and secondary fuel tanks.

When the generator set is started, 28 vde power flows from the generator set
through the power distribution unit and the fuel distribution unit to the fuel-
level sensors and fuel solenoid valve. The primary tank's fuel-level sensor
contains a float that works like a switch, controlling the solenoid valve.
When the float is in the up position, the circuit is open and the solenoid
valve draws fuel from the primary fuel tank. When the circuit closes, the sole-
noid valve receives power, thus causing it to draw fuel from the secondary fuel
tank. When the circuit is closed on the secondary tank's fuel-level sensor, it
sends a signal that illuminates a low fuel warning light in the ICC or CRG.
1-12, FUEL SYSTEM. ‘The Electric Power Unit (EPU), AN/MJQ-21, contains two
100-gallon fuel tanks located in the pallet assembly. The fuel tank located at
the rear of the trailer is the primary tank. Located between the two tanks is
the fuel solenoid valve assenbly with lines connecting to each tank. When the
generator set is started, a fuel boost pump located inside the set draws fuel
from the primary tank. As the fuel leaves the tank it passes through the
solenoid valve assembly, fuel shutoff valve (inlet), and into the fuel
filter/water separator. The fuel filter/water separator removes most of the
foreign particles and water found in the fuel. The fuel then passes through
the fuel shutoff valve (outlet) and into the fuel manifold. The fuel will flow
through the fuel check valve into whichever generator set is operating. The
fuel check valve also serves as a shutoff valve when the generator set is not
running.

If fuel “level in the primary tank is low, the fuel will come from the secoi-
dary tank and will follow the same flow pattern explained above. A valve gate
is connected to ‘the primary and secondary fuel tanks to drain fuel from the
secondary tank to the primary tank if the fuel-level sensor malfunctions or if
fuel is being drained from the Electric Power Unit.

Section II. OPERATOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
2-6. GENERAL The Electric Power Unit must be regularly inspected to find and
correct defects; failure to do so may result in serious damage or failure.
Regular inspection will show if the Electric Power Unit is fully operational
and reliable. Preventive maintenance checks and services for the generator
sets are contained in TM 5-6115-603-12; they will be performed first. Prever-
tive maintenance checks and services for the W353 (modified) 34-ton trailer are
contained in TM 9-2330-247-14; they will be performed after completing the
procedures that follow. ‘The procedures below will be followed to perform your
Preventive maintenance checks and services:
a. Before You Operate. Always keep in mind the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
Perform your before (B) preventive maintenance checks and services.
b. While You Operate. Always keep in mind the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
Perform your during (D) preventive maintenance checks and services.
c. After You Operate. Be sure to perform your after (A) preventive
