From what I can see on the Generac website, there are no user adjustments on the unit. I suggest taking it back to where you purchased it and have them check it out. If it indeed is putting out 92V vs 120V, have them replace it but check it prior to leaving the store.
Good luck,

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: No voltage output

It is possible that your voltage regulator is shot but before purchasing the volt regulator try flashing the fields first and make sure the brushes and rings are clean.

SOURCE: my generator is not putting

Most low voltage conditions on generators are simply due to a low engine rpm. Most modern generators are 2- pole windings. So your engine rpm should theoretically run @ 3600 rpm. which will produce 120/240 volts @ 60 HZ. In actuality You want to set your rpm's @ Approx. 3720rpm no load. About 62.5 Hz. Without getting to technical this will give you your desired 120/240 volts loaded. Hope this helps.

Generac XG8000E only producing 67volts on each leg.

Beware of an adjustment complexity with an new kind of poweroutlet automatic voltage regulator avr , have you measured the generator UNLOADED for 230 volts ?
because it can be normal that 67 volts output changed when you connect an paint heat gun i was surprised a few weeks ago that i get an GENMAC 8000 that is a look a like generator coming from china build . first i was measuring some of the same output AC instead of 230volts.

My generac rv generator runs bu no voltage output.

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

Good luck,

Low voltage out 79.2 volts

Randy, connect up your volt meter and try manually reving up the engine. Even a few hundred RPM can make a big difference in the generator output.

If that resolves the problem, then you need to adjust the high speed settings on the motor.

I purchased a generac 22 kw 3 phase 120/240 volt generator. I was surprised to find that it had a wild leg. Can i change the leads on the stator output to eliminate the high leg and get straight 120/208...

This unit is wired 120-240V 3 phase Delta. if you are using on it 120/208V 3 phase application it will need to be re-tapped. If you are using it in a home 120-240V single phase it will need re-tapping, Do NOT just use 2 legs, as this will cause rotor imbalance and wear out the rotor bearings, and odd ball currents to flow. If there are 12 leads coming off the stator it can be reconnected. If not you are stuck with it, except by using a transformer

Generator problems

yes
but battery charge voltage has to be 14.5-14.8 volts to charge a battery
batteries are known to be 12 volts but in fact at 2.2 volts a cell they are 13.2 volts capacity so 13 volts will not charge a battery
