Common problems

14
  • Winding failure.
    Fix: Check windings.
  • Unstable voltage
    Cause: Speed variation in engine.
    Fix: Check regularity of rotation.
  • Rotating bridge failure.
    Fix: Check diodes, disconnect cables.
  • No residual voltage
    Fix: For an instant apply on the + and – terminals of the electronic regulator a 12 V battery voltage with a 30 Ω resistor in series respecting the polarities.
  • Lower than rated voltage at load
    Cause: Voltage potentiometer out of setting.
    Fix: Reset voltage potentiometer.
  • Low voltage at no load
    Cause: Voltage potentiometer out of setting.
    Fix: Reset voltage potentiometer.
  • Intervention of protection.
    Fix: Check rpm.
  • Intervention by protection.
    Cause: Current too high, power factor lower than 0.8; speed lower than 10% of rated speed.
    Fix: Failed regulator. Substitute regulator.
  • Higher than rated voltage at load
    Cause: Voltage potentiometer out of setting.
    Fix: Reset voltage potentiometer.
  • High voltage at no load
    Cause: Voltage potentiometer out of setting.
    Fix: Reset voltage potentiometer.
  • Failed regulator.
    Fix: Substitute regulator.
  • Checking voltmeter P4
    Fix: Put a voltmeter in parallel with voltmeter P4 on the control panel. Check that the read-out of both voltmeters is the same. Stop the generator and disconnect one terminal. Check that the internal resistance of the voltmeter is high.
  • Checking ammeters P1, P2 and P3
    Fix: Measure by means of a clamp-on probe the outgoing current during the load. Compare the measured currents with the currents on the corresponding ammeters. Both readings should be the same.
  • Alternator does not excite
    Cause: Blown fuse.
    Fix: Replace fuse.
