TROUBLESHOOTING 

6.1 

General 

If any problem should occur, check basic conditions and 
examine all external wiring, switch gear and circuit breakers. 
Also check if measuring instruments give the correct value. If in 
doubt, measure directly on the alternator terminals with an 
independent instrument. 

In case of inverter failure or oil pressure, oil temperature or 
exhaust temperature limit exceeding, the error will be indicated 
on the PMG local panel (bottom left; refer to Figure 8). 

 

6.2 

Alternator/ electrical faults 

 

Beware of parts which are live! The alternator 
generates voltage up to 650 V. 

 

Remove 3 A fuse from the control panel while 
working on the Genverter in order to prevent the 
engine from starting. 

 

6.2.1 

Troubleshooting table for alternator 

PROBLEM 

CAUSE 

SOLUTION 

 
No output (voltage) at all 

 

 

Circuit breaker "off" or faulty fuse 

 
Check switches and fuses and measure directly on 
the alternator to exclude external causes.  

 

Low engine RPM 

Check the engine RPM and adjust 

 

Alternator failure 

Check alternator resistance (1.4Ω). Contact 
WhisperPower Service 

 
Genverter output voltage too low 
when in no load condition and RPM 
is above 2500 RPM 

 

 

Alternator failure 

 
Contact WhisperPower Service 

 
Genverter output voltage too low 
when under load, but OK in no load 
condition 

 

 

Genverter is overloaded 

 
Switch off a load; reduce number of consumers 

 

Insufficient engine RPM 

Increase minimum RPM setting 

 

Engine RPM drops when loaded 

Refer to “Engine speed drops” section in 6.2 

 

6.3 

Engine faults 

 

Remove 3 A fuse from the control panel while 
working on the Genverter in order to prevent the 
engine from starting. 

 

6.3.1 

General 

When the engine is not cranking well, starting problems almost 
always originate from battery problems or poor battery cable 
connections. 

 

When the engine does crank, starting problems almost always 
originate from lack of fuel or air bubbles in the fuel pipes. 

A failure code is displayed when a hardware failure at the engine is 
detected. 

 

6.3.2 

Troubleshooting table for engine 

PROBLEM 

CAUSE 

SOLUTION 

 
Diesel engine fails to crank; no 
response at all 

 

 

Faulty fuse on the control panel 

 
Replace fuse 

 

 

Battery switch off 

Switch on 

 

 

Battery completely empty 

Charge or replace battery
