Alternator AC Lead Connections
The  electrical  wires  in  the  unit’s AC  connection  (lower)
panel  should  be  installed  according  to  number  of  leads
and  voltage/phase  required  for  the  application.  The
voltage and  phase are  described on the  generator data
label. The number of lead wires can be  identified  using
the Specifications section and power output rating on the
generator data label. For example, if generator produces
130kW, 277/480 volt, three-phase power, generator  has
12  alternator  output  leads.  Figure 8-3  describes  the
stator power winding connection for the generator.
Four-Lead, Single-Phase Stator
See  Figure 8-1.  Four-lead  alternators  are  designed  to
supply  electrical  loads  with  voltage  code  “A”  (240V,  1-
phase, 60 Hz). Electrical power is produced in the stator
power windings. These windings were factory-connected
to the main circuit breaker as shown.
Figure 8-1. Four-Lead, Single-Phase Stator
Rated  voltage  between  each  circuit  breaker  terminal  is
240V.  The  rated  voltage  between  each  circuit  breaker
terminal and the neutral point 00 is 120V.

Connections
Three-Phase Alternators (“Y” Configuration)
The  Stationary  Emergency  Generator  is  designed  to
supply  three-phase  electrical  loads.  Electric  power  is
produced  in  the  alternator  power  windings.  These
windings  were  factory-connected  to  the  main  circuit
breaker with a “Y” configuration as shown in Figure 8-2
through Figure 8-6.
Rated voltage between circuit breaker terminals E1–E2,
E1–E3 and E2–E3 is 480V, 208V or 600V depending on
model.
Rated voltage between each circuit breaker terminal and
the neutral point 00 is 277V, 120V, or 346V depending on
model.
