5.4 No Electrical Output
Has the electrical output selector switch (if fit-
ted) been set to the correct position.
For dual voltage generators there is a choice of
115V / OFF / 230V. Choose the correct setting.
If fitted has the earth leakage (RCD) unit
tripped.
Before resetting disconnect all equipment plugged
into the sockets. Look for any obvious reasons or
faults as to why the equipment has caused the earth
leakage unit to trip.
Use the 115V/OFF/230V selector switch and turn to
OFF. Reset the trip and reconnect and switch on
equipment one piece at a time. Do not hold the sus-
pect equipment and use the selector switch on the
generator to turn the supply ON to the suspect equip-
ment. If a piece of equipment trips the earth leakage
unit repeatedly make sure it cannot be used again by
removing the plug and labelling
Faulty / Unsafe.
Has the miniature circuit breaker (MCB)
tripped or 2
-
pole circuit breaker tripped or been
set to OFF.
Each output socket has its own MCB to prevent ex-
cessive electrical load being taken through that sock-
et. These are rated at 15 Amp for the small sockets
and 30 Amps for the large sockets and they will trip
in a short time if larger currents are taken through
them.
The earth leakage unit has not tripped, the
miniature circuit breakers have not tripped, the
voltage selector switch is in the correct posi-
tion.
Connect another piece of electrical equipment that is
not faulty to confirm that the generator is faulty.
Suspect a major fault with the alternator or its voltage
regulation unit.
