John Deere QAS 330 — full specs, parts & maintenance.
| Symptom | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Alternator does not excite | Blown fuse. | Replace fuse. |
| Alternator does not excite | Insufficient residual voltage. | Increase the speed by 15%. |
| Alternator does not excite | No residual voltage. | 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. |
| After being excited alternator does not excite | Connections are interrupted. | Check connection cables as per attached drawings. |
| Low voltage at no load | Voltage potentiometer out of setting. | Reset voltage potentiometer. |
| Low voltage at no load | Intervention of protection. | Check rpm. |
| Low voltage at no load | Winding failure. | Check windings. |
| High voltage at no load | Voltage potentiometer out of setting. | Reset voltage potentiometer. |
| High voltage at no load | Failed regulator. | Substitute regulator. |
| Lower than rated voltage at load | Voltage potentiometer out of setting. | Reset voltage potentiometer. |
| Lower than rated voltage at load | Intervention by protection. | Current too high, power factor lower than 0.8; speed lower than 10% of rated speed. |
| Lower than rated voltage at load | Failed regulator. | Substitute regulator. |
| Lower than rated voltage at load | Rotating bridge failure. | Check diodes, disconnect cables. |
| Higher than rated voltage at load | Voltage potentiometer out of setting. | Reset voltage potentiometer. |
| Higher than rated voltage at load | Failed regulator. | Substitute regulator. |
| Unstable voltage | Speed variation in engine. | Check regularity of rotation. |
| Unstable voltage | Regulator out of setting. | Regulate stability of regulator by acting on STABILITY potentiometer. |
| Alternator does not excite | Blown fuse | Replace fuse |
| Alternator does not excite | Insufficient residual voltage |
