Generator Failure

Test each capacitor by touching the multimeter (set on "continuity") end probes on the capacitor
terminals: only a brief "beep" should be audible from the multimeter.
Once this has been done, reverse the end probe positions and repeat the check. (The multimeter
battery charges the capacitor and then the capacitor discharges quickly. The discharge to the
multimeter "closes" the circuit briefly and continuity is achieved for a brief instant causing the
short "beep".)
If there is no beep at all or there is a continuous beep, then the capacitor(s) is faulty and needs to
be replaced.
Check all capacitors in the electrical cabinet
The cables L1, L2, L3 and N leading from the generator must be clamped (see diagram beneath).
Checking of the terminals must be carried out in the following order:
1. L1-L2
2. L2-L3
3. L1-L3
The capacitors must not be removed from the electrical cabinet before a check is made. The pro-
cedure for checking the capacitors is given below.
The "beep" must be the same period of time for all three checking processes. As long as a
measuiring device is available to check the capacity, it is naturally better if the capacitors are
checked with this measuring device.
Checking the electrical connections to the Capacitor
It must be ensured that the electrical connections to the capacitor are always tight fitting. Loose
connections with transitional resistance can mean that the contact surfaces will become heated
externally. This can lead to faster deterioration of the capacitors.
ATTENTION! Do not contact the capacitor. Before working on the System read the Section
"Safety instructions" in this Manual.
