I have a onan genset generator model #3.0AJ 1R/16017S serial # L830689411. It is wired wrond to my motor home it runs good but no electricity coming from generator to motor home, which is a 1982 coachmen. I could use a wiring diagram for the generator

    Did the generator ever work in the coach? If so, what changed? Was it just worked on (wiring, generator). Does your coach have an inverter? Is your transfer switch manual (move a switch by hand, or plug cord into outlet for generator) or is it automatic?

The wiring diagram for the generator is pretty simple. You have three wires coming out, White/Green/Black. The black is the Hot, White is neutral, and green is ground. If the generator is running and you do not have power at the black wire, the problem is in the generator. Check the circuit breaker on the generator for OK. Make sure that power is passing through it.

There is a transfer switch that switches from gen power to shore power when you activate one source or the other. That's where you need to start. It automatically should switch to one of the sources when you plug in or start the gen.

First you have to check(visuel & measure) on the excitation system ( thats include the rotor ), when you have problem there, you won't get voltage on the generator(stator)

How to clear code 29 on Onan generator 4KY FA26100j. It won't do anything except blink the light

Have you measured the actual DC voltage on the wires at the genset? If the actual voltage is in the 12.6-13.6dcv range, then the sensor in the genset is bad. If the voltage is indeed high, yu need to find out why.

How does the wiring go from the own generator to its battery and then to electric panel

the ONAN generator only charges its own battery that it uses to start the machine,the generator itself is grounded with a 6 ft copper rod that is driven into the ground and secured to the ground strap of the generator,the wiring from the generator goes to a transfer switch that is installed ONLY BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN! DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF!,the switch is hooked up to your main electric line at the meter and to the breaker box,when the switch is used,it shuts off the main electricity from the company and opens the circuit to the generator only.here is the transfer switch,it can run everything up too 100 amps in your house or only 1 thing like your heat.

Are the wires in a Onan gender numbered in the panel box cause their all white in color and all disconnected help me with a dummies version diagram please!

I believe you are asking about an Onan generator in a motor home? Search for your model number on generator, then go to the Onan website and look for a pdf download of their wiring manual. My dealer would help me with this for free, ask yours. Be prepared for $100/ hr if the dealer works on it.
