Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Alternator does not exciteBlown fuse.Replace fuse.
No residual voltageFor 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.
Low voltage at no loadVoltage potentiometer out of setting.Reset voltage potentiometer.
Intervention of protection.Check rpm.
Winding failure.Check windings.
High voltage at no loadVoltage potentiometer out of setting.Reset voltage potentiometer.
Failed regulator.Substitute regulator.
Lower than rated voltage at loadVoltage potentiometer out of setting.Reset voltage potentiometer.
Intervention by protection.Current too high, power factor lower than 0.8; speed lower than 10% of rated speed.Failed regulator. Substitute regulator.
Rotating bridge failure.Check diodes, disconnect cables.
Higher than rated voltage at loadVoltage potentiometer out of setting.Reset voltage potentiometer.
Unstable voltageSpeed variation in engine.Check regularity of rotation.
Checking voltmeter P4Put 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 P3Measure 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.
