OPEN DELTA EXCITATION SYSTEM
The DCA45SSIU3 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.
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 rectifi ed and are the 
excitation current for the exciter section. 
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short 
circuit occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) 
switches the confi guration 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. 
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are 
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation 
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The 
excitation does not have a “fi xed ceiling” and responds 
according the demands of the required load.
ENGINE
The DCA45SSIU3 is powered by a 4 cylinder, water cooled, 
direct injection, turbocharged ISUZU BB4JG1T diesel 
engine. This engine is designed to meet every performance 
requirement for the generator. Reference Table 2 for engine 
specifi cations. 
In keeping with MQ Power’s policy of constantly improving 
its products, the specifi cations quoted herein are subject 
to change without prior notice.
ELECTRIC GOVERNOR SYSTEM
The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the engine.  
When the engine demand increases or decreases, the 
governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.25%. 
EXTENSION CABLES
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or 
loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords 
are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for 
distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop 
between the generator and point of use (load) is held  to 
a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 6) as a 
guide for selecting proper extension cable size.
