of output
Disconnection or short circuit of windings
• Check the insulation of all windings
and check the resistance value.
Defective AVR
• Check the AVR.
Defective rotating rectifi er assembly
• Replace diode elements.
Voltage is LOW
Incorrect wiring (GEN, AVR)
• Check the winding connection.
Low speed
• Check the engine.
Overload
• Reduce the load.
Defective AVR
• Check the AVR.
Voltage DIPS
Starting of big motor or spot welding machine
• About 15% voltage dip is no problem.
when on load
Defective diode on rotating rectifi er
• Change diode.
[F(+) – F(-) terminal voltage will show a
very high value when a diode is defective]
