The generator does not operate in accordance with the specified technical conditions, such as too high stator voltage, iron loss increases; if the load current is too large, the copper loss of the stator winding increases; if the frequency is too low, the cooling fan speed becomes slow, affecting the heat dissipation of generator; the power factor is too low, so that the rotor excitation current increases, resulting in the rotor heating. Check whether the indication of monitoring instrument is normal. If it is abnormal, necessary adjustment and treatment must be carried out to operate the generator in accordance with the specified technical conditions.

SOURCE: generator runs producing no power

Hi, remove the electric control panel & check the wiring as sometimes we have seen the wires coming off the voltage change over switches.
Also some of these units you can check the connections in the rear of the alternator & if it has brushes that they are not stuck.
Another problem we have had is the trip switches have went faulty but still switch operates ok, they need to be checked with a probe type tester for conductivety.

SOURCE: Generator stopped producing electricity

if the generator has been sitting for a while you might have to excite the magnets to start producing power. plug in a reversible drill and with the generator running turn the drill in the reverse direction by hand while holding the trigger in the forward position.

SOURCE: generator runs, but produces no power

If it's still under warranty take it back to the retailer and tell them it quit working - don't offer any other information.

If you must fix the E/G yourself - On the generator there's a cover on the back; take the cover off so that the back of the windings are exposed. You should see 4 to 6 diodes mounted to the rotor and stator...those diodes are most likely burned out because of temperature failure, due to overload. You have to take them out to isolate them...they should read .6 Ohms one way; reverse the leads and they slhould read about 1.2 Ohms. If there shorted you'll read 0 Ohms and open infinety.

Anyway, replace those diodes and you should re-establish your field winding voltage which develops you A/C output.

Good Luck,
Mike...

SOURCE: Wolf 800 generator. Engine will run but very electrical power is

is the engine running at the correct speed
3000 rpm to produce 50hz
3600 rpm to produce 60hz

Why does my yamaha generator ef3000ise petrol run out of the air filter when it is stopped but it will run fine otherwise

Carb float is stuck open. Take the carburator apart and clean it, blow it out with compressed air. put it back together see if that works

Yamaha EF4500Ise Gennerator won't produce power.

Doe's it have a thermal couple on it? If so it could be bad and when it heats up it is killing your power.

How many Watts will 1350 btu RV roof model use? I have a Dometic 641815 model . I want to buy this Yamaha 2400 watt generator.

Hello, I have the same exact generator, 2400 Yamaha. It works fine for my Ac, and then some. After it first kicks on, is the biggest surge. Then I have even after ac is running, I have had tv on and even used microwave. But as far as running you ac on your rv , not problem. I do it all the time. Mine is ulta quite, and 8 to ten hours run time on about a gallon of fuel. Mike

My generator is not producing power runs fine does not make power

Could be several problems on the gen set itself. Check to see if there is a surge protection breaker or fuse, depending on age. Make sure all connecting wires are secure and switches are not set to 240v instead of 120v if you are trying to use outlets.

Coleman 6750 powermate with yamaha mz360 electro ignition cranks and runs fine but doesn't put out any power brushless how do i get it to produce power again?

One of two things:

1. The rotor has lost all the magnetism it needs to get started generating. It needs to have a tiny bit to get started.

I have used the system of a couple series 150 watt lamps between the generator and the utility power. Search Google for description of this method. I have used it and it works.

2. You have blown diode(s) on the rotor. They would have to be replaced. I have not found a source and had to make my own.

Running at idle speed

1) Check the "Economy Throttle" setting (or some similar verbage). Inverter types dont have to run full speed to produce full voltage.

2) Apply a load. These magically accellerate and decellerate according to load conditions.

Hope this helps,

I have a honda engine gx620 coupled with my generator and in tern connected through a power center to charge batteries and sync with my inverter. It's showing only 60hz dropping to 59hz and I need to know...

You did not mention how many amps your system is producing/drawing, however I don't think that you need to adjust the governor. Your engine can produce 18 hp at 3600 rpm. At 3600 rpm your generator is producing 60hz or cycles. As the load increases /decreases it has an effect on the governor thus the change in cycles. If the load increases past the capacity of the engine, the cycles will drop. To stabilize, reduce the load. 59hz is produced when the engine is turning about 3550 rpm. If you increase the speed of the engine to compensate cycles may increase past 60hz. 3650rpm will probably produce 61hz. Engine speed could be fluctuating due to other reasons (vacuum leak, dirty air filter, plug, etc ) if there is only a small load on the engine/generator. If you would still like to adjust the governor please email the load on the generator and I will help with instructions. Good Luck with your generator it is a very nice unit and built to last.

Yamaha ef1000 will only idle and produce 12 vac

Hi, I have the same generator and I pull the load and it is fine. The engine RPM is controlled by the 
governor. The voltage will not come up until the RPM is at full. First see what the RPM problem is and then check the voltage. Open the cover and look to see if the carb linkage is hooked up , if it is you mite have carb problem and address that first. Hope that helps.
