Scope

This standard covers five series of specific test methods for testing and determining the characteristics of electric generators, generator sets, and associated equipment.

Notes

Claudia's Notes:
This standard is intended to explain, establish and standardize specific methods for measurements associated with the evaluation of electric generators, generator sets and related components. The intended use of this standard is to determine compliance with characteristics represented by procurement documents. In no case is failure criteria establish within this document. The specific methods are included herein, while the terminology, instrumentation, general methods of measurement, and informative electrical technology are presented in MIL-HDBK-705, "Generator Sets, Electrical Measurements and Instrumentation."

This standard is closely allied with MIL-HDBK-705 and references from one to the other are freely used, particularly from this document to the handbook. Specification writers and equipment inspectors will find the need for both the standard and handbook when working on electric generator equipment.

Due to the complexity of the specified requirements needed in procurement documents covering engine driven electric generators and other similar types of electric machinery, the proper use of this standard through referencing the applicable specific test method should greatly simplify the preparation of specifications and help to expedite the purchase and acceptance of the subject equipment.
