Help with generator problem, AC voltage
1800rpm = 60 cycles on four pole Generator
3600rpm =60 cylyes on 2 pole generator any more or less you risk major damage Cape0001 77fc35 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Byrne Lobdell > I would be very careful adjusting the mechanical Governor to get the 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. > Byrne 7735FC > > "Hovda, Craig" > I had low voltage on my 90WL40 and I adjusted the idle and it brought up > the voltage to the proper level. > > > > Craig > > 40WL > > Bigfork Mt. > > > > ________________________________ > > From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Miller > Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 8:26 PM > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Help with generator problem, AC voltage > > > > You have an open neutral somewhere between the genset and load center. > Try cycling the transfer switch first. > > - Jeff Miller > http://www.wanderlodge.net > http://www.millercoachworks.com > > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "awojteczko" > > Hello, > > > > I wonder if I can get some help with my generator problem? > > The generator runs well but my AC voltages are 112 and 147 volts ac > on > > legs one and two.
