Help with generator problem, AC voltage

[Stephen Birtles]

1800rpm = 60 cycles on four pole Generator
3600rpm =60 cylyes on 2 pole generator
any more or less you risk major damage

voltage up. The mechanical adjustment only changes the RPM of engine
which in turns changes the frequency of the output voltage. Too high
or too low frequency can damage any non resistive load. (Inverters,
TV, Battery Chargers, Microwave, etc.) I am not sure of the Voltage
Regulator you have but most have a way to set voltage. If no voltage
adjustment is on regulator you may need to replace regulator. If you
have done any mechanical adjustment to the engine governor you need to
get a good frequency meter and be sure the frequency is set at 60 cycles.
