Does your unit have a 5-, 10- or 15-kW tactical quiet generator (TQG)?  If it does, the generator may contain a faulty K1 contactor, NSN 6110-01-367-8921, that’s liable to fail.  Once the contactor fails, there’s no power output to the load terminals—even though the engine and generator still work.

Identify the Faulty Contactor

The K1 contactor is located in the TQG’s output box.  Here’s how to identify a bad one:

o The contactor’s cover is shaped like a “+.”

o Look for a brown label with AMETEK printed on it.  Ametek, Inc., manufactured the bad K1 contactors.

o In the label’s lower right corner is the MFG DATE (date of manufacture).  The first two digits represent the week; the last two digits represent the year.  Look for MFG DATEs from 40/10 through 13/11.  Ametek K1 contactors manufactured during this time have been identified as potentially faulty.
