Abstract:
1. A generator system comprising: a prime mover; an electrical generator coupled to the prime mover and configured to produce a first electrical signal in response to operation of the prime mover; a terminal assembly electrically connected to the electrical generator to receive the first electrical signal and output a second electrical signal, the terminal assembly configurable in a first arrangement to output the second electrical signal at a first voltage, and in a second arrangement to output the second electrical signal at a second voltage; an auxiliary system configurable to operate in response to the second electrical signal at one of the first voltage and the second voltage, the primer mover operable in response to the auxiliary system; and a switch movable between a first position in which the auxiliary system operates in response to the second electrical signal at the first voltage, and a second position in which the auxiliary system operates in response to the second electrical signal at the second voltage, the switch positioned such that the terminal assembly moves the switch from the first position to the second position in response to movement of the terminal assembly from the first arrangement to the second arrangement.
