Generator Failure

8.9 Troubleshooting Table
8.9.1 Generator faults
8.9.1.1 Generator output to low. For 50 Hz versions: less than 200 V. For 60 Hz versions:
less than 100 V.
8.9.1.2 Generator voltage to high (more then 240 V-50 Hz / 135 V-60 Hz). If the generator is
providing excessively high voltage, the following potential causes should be
investigated:
8.9.1.3 Generator voltage fluctuates.
8.9.1.4 Generator is not able to start a electric motor.
8.9.1.5 Diesel motor fails to start
Cause Solution
Generator is overloaded. Reduce the electrical load. (Switch off load)
Motor is not reaching the rated rpm. Refer to „motor faults“ section.
Defective capacitor(s). Check capacitors and replace if necessary.
Cause Solution
Over-energizing due to wrong capacitors. Check capacitors type and replace if necessary.
Cause Solution
1. Disturbances on the electrical system/user side. 1. Check if electrical load is fluctuating.
2. Motor disturbances. 2. Refer to section: „Motor runs irregular“.
Cause Solution
If the generator is unable supply enough power to start an electric motor
(120V-60Hz or 231V-50Hz), it is usually because the motor draws too
much current during starting process. Check the motor's current draw required for starting (switch to 380V if
possible). This could be remedied by providing stronger capacitors or
installing an optional „Easy Start Booster Set“. (See Apt. G)
Enquire at your nearest Panda dealer or directly at the manufacturer.
Cause Solution
Starter battery switched „OFF“. Check position of battery switch and switch „ON“ (if installed).
Starter battery voltage insufficient (battery too weak). Inspect battery terminals and cables for a good electrical connection
(Inspect against corrosion, tattered wires, etc.).
Starting current disrupted. During the normal starting process, the battery voltage drops to 11V with
a fully charged battery. If the voltage does not drop during starting, the
electrical connection is faulty. If the battery voltage drops lower than 11V,
then the battery has been discharged.
