SOURCE: Generator output
Hi, You don't say whether this is under load or not but if not is within the acceptable range, which is +/- 10% . Generally speaking, voltage on a generator is not the issue but the load which it will carry, hence their wattage ratings. Measure your household voltage and you will see that it varies from day to day but usually stays within the limits and your electrical panel is rated in amperage. Hope this answers your question!
SOURCE: Low voltage output from inverter
I am thinking this a high impediance device problem and this is normal operation - the user manual of my inverter warns about use with high impediance devices - if not I am interested also...
SOURCE: Hi output from generator
I found out that the gasoline motor was turning too fast so I had to turn down the speed of the motor with the adjustment screw.
SOURCE: Checked capacitor, diodes and circuit breakers and
Make sure it is not the brush set.
There must be continuity from one slip ring to another.
If not, but rotor doesn't look burnt - check points where rotor wire is soldered to slip rings, or clear contact point on each side of wire and check continuity there, past slip rings and brushes. Big chance that wire came loose from slip ring.
Had such problem on my Champiion 3500
evern if burnt - rotor is easy to rewind at home, unlike stator.
Unless your model is Inverter type - there is AVR module.
But, unless your rotor has continuity - don't bother going further.
SOURCE: how to adjust voltage output from generator ?
As long as your appliances are working properly I wouldn't worry. A 10V drop from the norm is not that crazy and certainly not abnormal. If it drops down to 205 or 200 then I would worry. I'm not familiar with the internal components of a home generator but I would imagine they are not as precise as the machines the power companies use. And when you look at it from a phase point of view its even less of an issue. There are 110-120V per single phase and 220-240V double phase. So on each phase your only dropping 5V out of that range. And as far as the needle jumping, again not very precise, and it will probably move even more while its generating. If the voltage does happen to drop more check for a loose neutral wire, that will often cause crazy voltages, but so far I see nothing to worry about.
