When troubleshooting any electrical system, it is important to start by identifying the last known source of power. This is because if there is a problem with the power supply, it can affect the entire system. By determining the last known source of power, you can then trace the power flow and identify any potential issues or faults along the way. This will help in narrowing down the possible causes of the problem and finding a starting point for further troubleshooting.

The torsion shaft is specifically designed to break if the gas turbine engine locks up. This component is responsible for transmitting torque from the engine's compressor to the turbine. If the engine locks up, excessive torque can be generated, causing the torsion shaft to break and prevent further damage to the engine.

Electromagnetic induction is the principle where voltage is induced into a conductor due to the relative motion between the conductor and a magnetic field. This phenomenon was discovered by Michael Faraday in the early 19th century and is the basis for the working of many electrical devices such as generators and transformers. It is an essential concept in electromagnetism and plays a crucial role in the generation and transmission of electric power.

If an atom has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, it is considered stable. This is because the outermost shell, also known as the valence shell, is considered complete when it has 8 electrons. This configuration is known as the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration with 8 electrons in the valence shell. Therefore, having 8 electrons in the outermost shell indicates stability.

If there is a loss of residual magnetism in the exciter field poles, the appropriate action to take is to field flash the generator. Field flashing involves applying a temporary voltage to the field windings to restore the residual magnetism. This can be done by connecting TB4-11 to a 14 VDC power source. By doing so, the magnetic field in the generator is reestablished, allowing it to produce electricity.

The voltage rheostat R61 is used to manually increase the output voltage on an A/M32A-86D generator. This component allows the user to adjust the resistance in the circuit, which in turn affects the output voltage. By increasing the resistance, the voltage can be increased. Therefore, the voltage rheostat R61 is the correct answer to the question.

When the B809A generator set alternating current (AC) card senses an AC fault, the AC contactor opens and the generator output stops. This means that the electrical connection between the generator and the load is interrupted, preventing any further supply of AC power. This action is taken to protect the system from further damage and to prevent any potential hazards that may arise from the AC fault.

When the size of the plates of a capacitor is increased, the distance between the plates decreases. Capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between them. Therefore, when the size of the plates is increased, the area of the plates increases, resulting in an increase in capacitance.

An element is the simplest form of matter because it consists of only one type of atom. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, and each element has its own unique set of properties. Mixtures, compounds, and electrons are not the simplest form of matter because they involve the combination of multiple elements or subatomic particles.

Valance electrons contain the most energy in an atom. These are the electrons in the outermost energy level or shell of an atom. Valence electrons are involved in chemical bonding and are more easily lost or gained during chemical reactions, which requires energy. Therefore, they have the highest energy compared to the other electrons in the atom.

A probable cause of the excessively high exhaust gas temperature in the A/M32A-60A generator set could be a malfunctioning pneumatic thermostat. The pneumatic thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature of the exhaust gas, and if it is not functioning properly, it may fail to control the temperature effectively, resulting in the high temperature. This can be a potential issue that needs to be addressed to prevent any further damage to the generator set.

A diode is a two-terminal device that allows current to flow in one direction and blocks it in the opposite direction. This characteristic is known as its ability to conduct in one direction and not the other.

An open circuit refers to a break or disconnect in the circuit, which prevents the flow of current. As a result, there is no current flow in an open circuit. On the other hand, a short circuit occurs when there is an unintended connection or low resistance path in the circuit. This causes excessive current flow through the shorted component. Therefore, the correct answer states that there is no current flow in an open circuit, while there is excessive current flow in a shorted component.

The magnetic pick-up is the component of the B809A generator set speed control system that produces a frequency pulse train for the engine speed reference. This means that it generates electrical signals that correspond to the speed of the engine, which is used to control and maintain the desired speed of the generator set.

To increase the engine speed to 2,000 RPM during the operation of the A/M32A-86D generator set, you would place control switch S13 in the "GENERATE" position.

The major difference between an NPN transistor and a PNP transistor is the direction of current flow. In an NPN transistor, the current flows from the collector to the emitter, while in a PNP transistor, the current flows from the emitter to the collector. This fundamental difference in current flow direction is what distinguishes these two types of transistors and determines their specific applications and behaviors.

The factors that affect the resistance of a material are its area, temperature, and type of material. The area of the material affects resistance because a larger area allows for more current flow and therefore less resistance. Temperature affects resistance because as temperature increases, the resistance of the material also increases. The type of material affects resistance because different materials have different resistivities, which determine their ability to conduct electricity.

The voltage regulator VR1 controls the strength of the generator exciter field L2 in the A/M32A-86D generator. It regulates the voltage output of the generator, which in turn determines the strength of the exciter field. By adjusting the voltage, the voltage regulator can control the strength of the exciter field and ensure that it is at the desired level for proper generator operation.

The best point to check voltage to the A/M32A-86D generator exciter field is at J8, terminal D-F.

The step of troubleshooting that is considered the most difficult is analysis. This is because analysis involves examining all the available information, data, and evidence to identify the root cause of the problem. It requires critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to analyze complex systems or situations. Analysis often involves identifying patterns, making connections, and considering multiple factors to reach a conclusion. It can be challenging because there may be multiple possible causes or factors contributing to the problem, and it requires careful consideration and evaluation to determine the most likely cause.

A silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) is primarily used as an electronic switch. It is a semiconductor device that can control the flow of electric current. When a small current is applied to the gate terminal of the SCR, it allows a larger current to flow from the anode to the cathode terminals. This characteristic makes it useful for controlling the power flow in various electronic circuits and systems.

Apparent power refers to the total power consumed by an electrical system, which includes both the real power (measured in kilowatts) and the reactive power. The unit of measurement for apparent power is kilo-volt-amperes (KVA). This unit takes into account both the voltage (measured in kilovolts) and the current (measured in amperes) in the system. Therefore, kilo-volt-amperes (KVA) is the correct unit for measuring apparent power.

The three leads in a unijunction transistor (UJT) are called emitter, base 1, and base 2.

When a negative potential is connected to the cathode and a positive potential is connected to the anode of a PN junction, the diode is forward biased. In this configuration, the positive potential at the anode repels the majority charge carriers in the N-region, while the negative potential at the cathode attracts the majority charge carriers in the P-region. This creates a low resistance path for current flow across the junction, allowing current to flow through the diode.

Switching S15 to the L-N position will change the voltmeter reading from 200 VAC to a more appropriate value. This indicates that the current setting of S15 is incorrect and needs to be adjusted. Adjusting VR1 or R61 may not necessarily solve the issue, so the best course of action is to switch S15 to the L-N position.

The probable cause of the undervoltage light coming on when placing S13 in the build up position on an A/M32A-86D at governed speed is the memory time delay relay. This relay is responsible for controlling the timing of various functions in the system, and if it is malfunctioning or not working properly, it could cause the undervoltage light to come on.

To turn off a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR), the current must drop below the holding current. The holding current is the minimum current required to maintain the SCR in the on state once it has been triggered. If the current falls below this threshold, the SCR will turn off and stop conducting. Therefore, the holding current is the correct answer as it accurately describes the condition required to turn off an SCR.

In a series-parallel circuit, the total current (IT) is equal to the sum of the currents in the series and parallel branches. Given that I1=9 amps and I2=5 amps, we can calculate IT by adding these two currents together: IT = I1 + I2 = 9 amps + 5 amps = 14 amps. Since the value of I3 is not listed, we cannot determine its value directly. However, since IT = I1 + I2, and I1 = I3 in a series circuit, we can conclude that I3 must be equal to I1, which is 9 amps. Therefore, the correct answer is I3=4 amps (not listed) and IT=9 amps.

The correct answer is (T1) and rectifier (CR26). The exciter field voltage is supplied by a transformer (T1) and a rectifier (CR26). The transformer steps up or steps down the incoming voltage to the desired level, and the rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) to supply the exciter field. This combination of transformer and rectifier ensures that the exciter field receives the correct voltage for proper operation.

The zener diode is connected in parallel to the load in order to protect it. When the voltage across the load exceeds a certain threshold, the zener diode starts conducting and provides a low-resistance path for the excess current to flow through. This prevents the voltage from rising further and protects the load from damage. By being connected in parallel, the zener diode does not affect the normal operation of the circuit but only comes into action when necessary.

The B809A generator set fuel system uses an injector pump to distribute and deliver an accurate amount of fuel to the engine cylinders. The injector pump is responsible for pressurizing the fuel and injecting it into the cylinders at the correct timing and in the right amount. This ensures efficient combustion and proper engine performance. The transfer pump is responsible for transferring fuel from the fuel tank to the injector pump. Injector nozzles are responsible for atomizing the fuel and injecting it into the combustion chamber. The throttle actuator controls the airflow into the engine, but it is not directly related to the fuel distribution and delivery.

In an inductive circuit, current lags voltage by 90 degrees means that the current reaches its maximum value when the voltage is at its minimum value (zero), and vice versa. This is because in an inductive circuit, the voltage leads the current by 90 degrees. When the voltage is at its maximum value, the current is at its minimum value, and when the voltage is at its minimum value, the current is at its maximum value. This phase difference between current and voltage is a characteristic of inductive circuits.

The direct current (DC) card on the B809A generator set senses the condition of overtemperature. This means that it is designed to detect and monitor the temperature of the generator set and its components. If the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, the DC card will trigger an alarm or shut down the generator set to prevent damage or unsafe operation.

The basic principle of operation of transformers is mutual induction. Mutual induction refers to the process where a changing current in one coil induces a voltage in a nearby coil. In a transformer, this principle is utilized to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction. The primary coil, connected to an alternating current source, produces a changing magnetic field which induces a voltage in the secondary coil. This voltage can be stepped up or stepped down depending on the number of turns in each coil, allowing for efficient power transmission.

In a circuit using a bridge rectifier, there are two diodes that are forward biased during the first cycle of alternating current (AC). The bridge rectifier consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration. During the positive half-cycle of AC, two diodes conduct and allow the current to flow through them, while the other two diodes are reverse biased and do not conduct. This allows the AC current to be converted into a pulsating DC current. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

The rate control section of the gas turbine engine load control valve controls the opening time. This section is responsible for regulating the rate at which the valve opens, allowing for precise control over the flow of fuel or air into the engine. By adjusting the rate control, the operator can effectively manage the engine's load and optimize its performance.

To test the load contactor relay K1, the automatic-manual voltage control switch must be placed in the AUTOMATIC position. This is because the load contactor relay K1 is controlled by the automatic mode of the voltage control switch. Placing the switch in the AUTOMATIC position will allow the relay to be tested using test probes.

The operating voltage of the blower motor and control relays on an A/M24T-8 load bank is 28 volts direct current (VDC).

In P-type material, majority carriers are holes, which are positively charged. Minority carriers, on the other hand, are the opposite charge carriers, which in this case are electrons. Electrons are negatively charged and are present in lower concentrations compared to the majority carriers. Therefore, the correct answer is electrons.

If the ignition control unit fails to operate on an A/M32A-60A during operation, one would check the oil pressure switch S11. This switch is responsible for monitoring the oil pressure in the system. If the oil pressure is too low or the switch is faulty, it can cause the ignition control unit to fail. Therefore, checking the oil pressure switch S11 is necessary to identify and resolve the issue with the ignition control unit.

The resistance in a circuit can be calculated using the formula P = I^2 * R, where P is the power rating, I is the total current, and R is the resistance. Rearranging the formula, we get R = P / I^2. Plugging in the given values, we have R = 40 / 2^2 = 40 / 4 = 10 ohms. Therefore, the correct answer is 10 ohms.

The secondary winding of a transformer acts as a conductor and provides the path into which voltage is induced. When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding, which can be used to power electrical devices or transmit power over long distances. The secondary winding is typically connected to the load or the circuit that requires the induced voltage.

The area where P-type material is joined to N-type material in a semiconductor is known as the depletion region. This region is created due to the diffusion of minority carriers across the junction, resulting in the formation of a region devoid of free charge carriers. The depletion region acts as a barrier for the flow of current, preventing the majority carriers from crossing the junction. It plays a crucial role in the operation of various semiconductor devices, such as diodes and transistors.

Atoms having more than four electrons, but less than eight are known as insulators. This is because insulators have a completely filled valence shell, which makes it difficult for them to gain or lose electrons and participate in electrical conductivity. In contrast, conductors have fewer than four electrons in their valence shell, allowing them to easily move and conduct electricity. Stable atoms refer to atoms that have a full valence shell and are not likely to react with other atoms. Semiconductors have properties between those of insulators and conductors, but the given range does not match their characteristics.

The correct answer is "outward" because positive ions have a deficiency of electrons, causing them to have a positive charge. In electrostatic fields, positive charges repel each other, so the electrostatic field lines around a positive ion will move away from each other, or outward. This movement is a result of the repulsion between the positive charges, creating an outward flow of the electrostatic field lines.

Voltage is the correct answer because it refers to the force or electrical potential difference that drives the movement of free electrons through a conductor. It is the measure of the energy per unit charge that is required to move the electrons. Current, on the other hand, refers to the flow of charge itself, while negative charge and electrostatic force are not specifically related to the force required to move electrons through a conductor.

A zener diode is connected in parallel to the load in order to regulate voltage. When connected in this way, the zener diode acts as a voltage regulator by maintaining a constant voltage across the load. It does this by allowing current to flow through itself when the voltage across the load exceeds the breakdown voltage of the zener diode. This effectively limits the voltage across the load, preventing it from exceeding the desired value.

In a series-parallel circuit, the total resistance (RT) can be calculated by adding the resistances of the series resistors and the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the parallel resistors. In this case, the series resistor R1 has a resistance of 7 ohms. The parallel resistors R2 and R3 have a combined resistance of 8 ohms. Therefore, the total resistance is 7 ohms + 8 ohms = 15 ohms.

The correct answer is S5, run/idle toggle switch. This switch is closed to provide potential to the exciter field while operating the B809A generator.

The probable cause of the trouble is that S30 is shorted. This means that there is a fault in the S30 component, causing it to create a short circuit. As a result, the fault lights on the A/M32A-86D power unit remain on even after attempting to reset S23.
