GENERATING SET TROUBLE SHOOTING
{
No Electrical Output
Very small generating sets may occasionally fail to give power output against some electronically controlled
loads. This however is very infrequent due to the ‘skew’ wound AC alternators Beta Marine specify. Should this be
experienced please contact Beta Marine.
Should a generating set that has been previously been functioning satisfactorily fail to give output or provide a low
voltage output it is often the result of welding taking place on board or other external electrical influence. Which
under some circumstances may cause the AC alternator to loose residual magnetism which will prevent it from
powering up.
To rectify a qualified/certified electrician should refer to the independent AC alternator manufacturer’s operator
manual originally supplied with the generating set and follow the instructions for:
‘Check of residual voltage’ and ‘Alternator does not excite’. These processes are known as ‘field flashing’.
For all other AC alternator fault finding and maintenance, please refer to the independent AC alternator
manufacturer’s operator manual originally supplied with the generating set.
Before investigating any specific electrical problem,
always check:
• The starter battery is connected to the correct terminal
on the starter motor.
• Battery connections and inspect the condition of
the cables from the battery to engine. Measure the
voltage at the engine.
• The battery isolation switch is to the ‘
ON
’ position.
• The 10 amp engine harness fuse to see if it has blown
- replace and check all DC wiring for faults.
• If there is a starter alternator charge problem, measure
battery voltage with engine off and again with engine
running, if there is an increase the battery alternator is
functioning correctly.
