What is wrong with output?

The DC output for battery charging is from the engine alternator and is completely independent from the generator inverter.

As this is an inverter unit the typical polarization techniques for standard generators will not apply.

The ouput indicator being lit means the inverter input output should be good. This further implies a circuit disconnect state at the outlets. Try pressing the overload reset switch to make sure it is not in an odd state.

Try putting 12 volts across the commutator at the brushes. Ust a low current battery nor a car storage battery.

Good luck,

Marty

Possible dirty contact or defective.

Hi Have you tested the voltage output from the generator outlets.

How are you connecting to house power?


possible power spike

The bulb is probably getting tired. As a lot of bulbs get older, even though they may not burn out, the total light output (lumens) drops. Another bad part to this problem is that it may use the same amount of power, which means more heat generated. Good luck, the bulb costs around $100.

Hello, I dont understand the output you are describing. Can you light a light bulb (light), or not? This will help me to figure out your problem.

You can do it by a UPS like system, but do you think, that you will pay less for it.
Your generator produces power and uses fuel proportional to the output power.
The efficiency of the generator at half or low load is less, than on full, but that of the UPS and the battery is much much less than this.

Okay, this is going to sound kind of hard but you can do it...you need to flash the field and try to get some 'excitation' back to the windings. It's a bit of a deal but here's how:

With gen not running, plug the battery charge plug in to the charger output and you need to reverse the leads at the battery. Hook the BLACK to the positive post. Then, just touch the red to the negative terminal for a second or two. That's it!
Then...start gen and check output. If it just needed a flash, that will do it, I'm serious!

Both the Hz and the voltage will be wrong if the engine speed is low. You need to use either a DMM with a HZ function to set the engine speed so that you get 61.5 Hz at no load, or use a tachometer to set the no load speed to 3750 rpm.

Hi there,
Nothing about the bumpy dirt road would have done this but the 10 years of storage might mean that you've got dirty slip rings. Plugging a drill into the 10Kw generator isn't going to tell one much about the power coming out of it, you need a stove :-)
After a camshaft replacement I'd want to use the "Hz" function of the DVM to make sure I was getting 60 Hz.

Regards,
Carl
