Hi, I have a Pramac PX8000, the battery would not start the generator, what can be the problem?

Question edited for clarity, correct spelling of 'phases' AGAIN. I remember you from yesterday!
Question moved from Cars and Trucks category. They have 30 models or more.

If your Pramac 12k battery charger is displaying a failure alarm, there could be a few possible causes:

1. Check the voltage level of the battery: Make sure that the battery is at the correct voltage level and that it is properly connected to the charger.
2. Check the charger connections: Make sure that the charger is properly connected to the power source and that the connections are not loose or damaged.
3. Check the charger's fuse: Make sure that the charger's fuse is not blown.
4. Check the charger's cooling system: Make sure that the charger's cooling system is working properly and that it is not blocked or damaged.
5. Check the charger's electronic board: Make sure that the charger's electronic board is not damaged or malfunctioning.

My Pramac p6000s fuel pump won’t work off the key but will if a put it straight to live on battery any ideas thanks

The first thing I would look for would be internal fuses blown. This sounds like a 460 volt 12,000 watt industrial generator and you probably should call the installing contractor for service. My 15,000 watt generator is over 30 years old and has less than 700 hours on it and those are mostly test-run hours.

Try a shot of starting fluid. If it does not start with that it may have a fuel supply problem.

Hello. Maybe you have solved your problems. But I still want to share the helpful article to you. https://www.dieselgeneratortech.com/diesel-generators/why-diesel-generator-fail-to-start.html

We are Perkins diesel generator OEM. Can provide 22KW to 2200KW diesel generator set with Perkins engine. https://www.dieselgeneratortech.com/perkins

clean out the carb

mmost engines have a low oil switch. if generator is not level or it is low oon oil by just a little it will not start hope this helps bob

It may have a seperate starter button

Start looking at your safety circuits.

1. High water temp
2. Low Oil
3. Low water etc...

From the manual these are the protection circuits.

• Engine protection: low oil pressure, high engine temperature.
• Genset protection: under/over voltage, overload, battery charger failure, battery voltage out of limits,
under/over frequency, start failure.
• Circuit breaker protection: IV poles.
• Differential protection.


Any one of them will trip the fuel relay closed. What you may be able to do is disconnect one at a time each protection circuit and see when the fuel relay opens. (Make sure to reconnect each one if it had no effect on the fuel solenoid)

Once you isolate which circuit it is in then you can chase wires or change the bad switch.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.
