Troubleshooting

Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Generator will not produce AC voltage — Generator rotor is stopped or not rotating fast enough. Generator should be driven at 1800 RPM to produce rated voltageGenerator rotor is stopped or not rotating fast enoughTroubleshoot entire hydraulic system; Check the inlet and outlet connections at the hydraulic motor, and make sure they are not swapped; Check the setting of the flow control needle valve; Check the generator set "on" valve for malfunctions
Generator will not produce AC voltage — No output in load or lineNo output in load or lineIf a circuit breaker or a fuse is used for generator protection, check for condition which caused breaker to trip or fuse to burn
Generator is overheatingAir intake or exhaust outlet is pluggedRemove obstruction
Generator is overheatingGenerator is electrically overloadedRemove part of electrical load
High or low voltage output — Low voltage at no load: Generator is rotating slower than RPM. Generator should be driven at 1800 RPM to produce rated voltageGenerator is rotating slower than RPMVerify that the entire hydraulic system functions adequately; Check the setting of the flow control needle valve with a frequency meter, then adjust the voltage adjusting rheostat
High or low voltage output — Low voltage with load: Generator is rotating at full 1800 RPM, but is putting out low voltageGenerator is rotating at full 1800 RPM, but is putting out low voltageCheck rectifier assembly
High or low voltage output — High voltage: Generator is running at rated RPM or below, but is putting out higher than rated voltageGenerator is running at rated RPM or below, but is putting out higher than rated voltageUse a frequency meter to adjust the no-load frequency to 62-63 hz, then adjust the voltage to 117-118 volts; If voltage remains high, or does not adjust, then replace the voltage regulator
Low or no hydraulic fluid flowNo hydraulic fluid in reservoir or hydraulic linesRefer to Operation section for proper filling and bleeding procedures
Low or no hydraulic fluid flowShutoff valve is not allowing oil flowReplace shutoff valve
Low or no hydraulic fluid flowGenerator set is damaged, preventing free rotation of rotor shaft and causing hydraulic pressure to build upExcessive torque is required to rotate the rotor shaft. Remove the pressure hydraulic lines at the motor and the fan guard at the opposite end of the generator to check for this condition. It should be possible to rotate the shaft by hand, although a degree of resistance will be present
Low or no hydraulic fluid flowPump control failure and/or load sense line problemExamine and replace/repair parts as needed
Hydraulic system overheatingCheck fluid supply in system. Hydraulic system is normally self-cooling, and depends upon fluid flow between system pump and motorMaintain adequate fluid flow in hydraulic system
Hydraulic system overheatingCheck availability of water/air cooling flow to (optional) heat exchangerMaintain adequate cooling water/air flow to (optional) heat exchanger. Make certain that heat exchanger and hydraulic lines are isolated from other sources of heat
Hydraulic system overheatingGenerator overloadedRemove part of the electrical load
Hydraulic system overheatingMotor/generator damaged, preventing free rotation of rotor shaftExcessive torque required to rotate the motor/generator shaft. Remove the pressure hydraulic lines at the motor and the fan guard at the opposite end of the generator to check for this condition. It should be possible to rotate the shaft by hand, although a degree of resistance will be present
Hydraulic system overheatingExcess heat generated by other devices in the systemDisable any other device and run the generator alone
External hydraulic system leakageCheck for leakage at the hydraulic fittings and at the inlet and outlet of the hydraulic motorAttempt to stop the leak by tightening the fitting (do not overtighten). If this does not stop the leak, replace fittings as necessary. Check the O-rings for damage
External hydraulic system leakageCracked hydraulic linesReplace lines as necessary
