Why My Generator Can Start But No Voltage Output?


After generator starts up, there is no voltage, the most possible reason is the generator has no magnetic field.

Why is there no magnetic filed in generator?

Fault phenomenon:

After standby generator set idle for a long period of time, when restart, there is no AC voltage output. Measure the main output winding, and the voltage between phases is "0" or lower than "5vac".

The reason:

Generator has not been used for a long time, resulting in losing remanence contained in iron core. The excitation coil can't establish the proper magnetic field. At this time, the generator set runs normally but does not generate voltage. This kind of fault often occurs in new generator set, generator set stored in humid environment or generator set not used for a long time.

How to deal with no magnetic field problem of generator?

1.Check the main output circuit of the generator to avoid the excitation cannot be established due to the short circuit at the output end.

2.if there is excitation and magnetization button, press the excitation and magnetization button.

3.If there is no excitation button, use the battery to magnetize it. The specific method is:

a.Use 12V DC battery, connect negative pole to "XX" terminal of AVR board, the positive pole is connected to the "X" terminal of AVR through a diode.

b.Restart the generator set and record the main stator output voltage, the voltage is close to the rated voltage, or the voltage between P2-P3 of AVR terminal is 170-250V.

c.Shut down the unit, then disconnect the battery power supply of "X" and "XX" terminals, and restart the generator set. At this time, the generator set should be able to operate normally. If there is still no voltage, it can be considered that there is a problem with the generator set or AVR.

Here is an other method of resolution:

First, look at the gloss level of the two slip rings. If there is no lustre, rub it with emery cloth until it becomes shiny. If still can not solve, use a very thin fuse and connect the three-phase four wires on the generator randomly. Then start the engine, the fuse will blow automatically, and the voltage will come up.

If you don't know the diode, open one of the iron rings on the back cover of the generator, and you can see two slip rings, then see the carbon sand. At this time, take a battery of any size, start the generator and hold the positive and negative terminals on the battery by hand, press and hold the two carbon sands corresponding to the slip ring. Do not remove until the generator voltage increases.

If it still doesn't work, exchange the positive and negative poles of the battery. If the voltage disappears immediately after removal, it indicates the diode is broken. Replace the diode.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...
