Learning Event:
INSTALL AND OPERATE THE 5- AND 10-KW DIESEL GENERATOR SETS.
1. Scenario.
A team of five soldiers with three radio sets was
stationed in Alaska.
They had been using power from a commercial
source which was damaged in an ice storm. The team must now use the
two sets of 5- and 10-kw diesel generators which are strictly backup.
The ambient temperature is lower than -25F and the engine must be
heated by either a fuel burning or electric winterization kit. They
must properly operate the 5- and 10-kw diesel generators for the
power they need.
