| High generator output voltage | Incorrect controller voltage settings | Check and adjust the controller voltage settings. |
| High generator output voltage | Voltage regulator misadjustment or malfunction | Test/adjust voltage regulator. |
| High generator output voltage | Engine speed too high | Check the engine speed using tachometer or frequency meter; Adjust governor as necessary. |
| High generator output voltage | Loose voltage sensing connections | Check connections: stator leads 11 and 44 (for 1-phase models) or leads 7, 8, and 9 (for 3-phase models); Check controller connections; Check V voltage regulator connections. |
| High generator output voltage | Controller | Check wiring and connections; Troubleshoot the controller. |
| No output voltage | AC output circuit breaker open | Check for AC voltage on the generator side of the circuit breaker; If there is AC voltage on the generator side of the breaker, then a problem in the load circuits is causing the line circuit breaker to trip; Check for and correct short circuits or overloading on the load side before resetting the circuit breaker. |
| No output voltage | Alternator or control system | Perform separate excitation procedure to isolate the problem to the alternator or the control system; Then troubleshoot the alternator or control system components as follows. |
| No output voltage | Controller | Check controller settings; Check wiring and connections; Troubleshoot the controller. |
| No output voltage | Rotor connections | Check for open circuit in the rotor connection circuit (leads FN and FP to the voltage regulator). |
| No output voltage | Rotor (open, grounded, or shorted windings) | Check voltage and continuity. |
| No output voltage | Stator (open, grounded, or shorted windings) | Check voltage and continuity. |
| No output voltage | Flash relay | Test/replace flash relay P16. |
