Troubleshooting

Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Excessive overheating of one or both bearings (temp of bearings over 80°C) (With or without abnormal bearing noise)If the bearing has turned blue or if the grease has turned black, change the bearing.
Excessive overheating of alternator frame (temperature rise of more than 40°C above ambient)Air flow (inlet-outlet) partially clogged or hot air is being recycled either from alternator or prime mover. Alternator is functioning at too high a voltage (over 105% of rated voltage on load). Alternator overloaded
Too much vibrationMisalignment (coupling) Defective mounting or play in coupling Incorrect balancing of shaft (Engine-Alternator)
No voltage at no load or startupConnect a battery of 4 to 12 volts to terminals E+(F+) or E-(F-) respecting the polarity on the A.V.R for 2 to 3 seconds. The alternator builds up and voltage is correct when the battery is removed.
Lack of residual magnetism in alternator- Check the connections of the sensing leads to the A.V.R. - Faulty rotating diode - Short-circuit on rotor windings
Voltage collapses during normal operationCheck the AVR, the surge suppressor, the rotating diodes and replace any defective part
