3.6. INSULATION RESISTANCE
When generator is not immediately put into

operation, it should be protected against
moisture, high temperatures and impurities to
avoid damage to insulation. The winding
insulation resistance must be measured before
operating the generator. If the ambient contains
high humidity, a periodical inspection is
recommended during storage. It is difficult to
determine rules for the actual insulation
resistance value of a generators as the resistance
varies according to environmental conditions
(dust, oil, grease, dirt) and condition of the
insulating material used and method of
construction of the generator.
The following guidelines show the approximate
insulation resistance values that can be expected

is applied for a period of one minute.

6. INSTALLATION We recommend to check rotation direction and

phase sequence before operating the generator.
Electric machines should be installed in locations
of easy access allowing periodical inspections and
removal of equipment while performing
maintenance services, if required.

water vertically.
6.2. ROTATION DIRECTION
Weg G line generators are suitable for CW and

CCW rotation directions. However, phase
sequence is set for CW rotation (viewed from
generator shaft end - Drive-end side). As per VDE
0530 ABNT NBR 5117 Standards, generator
terminals are identified in such a way that the
connector sequence 1,2 and 3 (R,S,T) match the
phase sequence, when rotation direction is CW.
If a generator requires CCW rotation direction,

phase sequence must be exchanged (if required).

6.4. AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT

(MARINE DUTY GENERATORS)
The application of generators along the

coast requires extra protection against
corrosion and marine attack (Degree of
Protection IPW21 or IPW23). On these
cases, WEG Sales Department should be
informed when placing the purchase order
for the generator.
If IP21 generators are used near the ocean
without extra protection, these will be
subject to corrosion and rust on power
cables. On these cases, Weg will not be
responsible as stated on the Warranty
Terms included herewith. The same
applies to installations where chemical
products are present which can affect the
machine due to excess of dust and other
materials affecting the cooling system or
heat exchange.

Important notes:
- To use a generator with voltage of 320 to 600V and without auxiliary coil, you must connect E2 to phase
R and terminal 3 to Neutral. For this condition, terminal 3 can not be connected to E2.
- Weg Standard G line generators are fitted with auxiliary coil and without auxiliary exciter.
- It is not recommended to use generator without auxiliary coil due to generator power supply problems in
case of short-circuit or overloads. This diagram should only be used in case of faulty auxiliary coil.
- Generators fitted with auxiliary exciter are special and must be produced on request.
- When transformer is used to adjust reference voltage of the voltage regulator, this transformer can not
be installed inside the generator main terminal box.
