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.
