High Voltage
Test Step 1. Voltage adjustment
- Verify that the adjustment for the voltage is not too high.
Results:
- OK - The voltage adjustment is correct. Go to Step 2.
- Not OK - The voltage adjustment is too high.
Repair: Adjust the voltage to the correct setpoint.
STOP
Test Step 2. Diode Test
- Shut off the generator set.
- Check the diodes. Refer to Service Manual, KENR8205, "Rotating Rectifier - Test" for the procedure to test the diodes.
Results:
- OK - The diodes are good. Go to Step 3.
- Not OK - The diodes are bad.
Repair: Replace the bad diodes.
STOP
Test Step 3. Voltage Sense Circuit
- Check for the correct sensing input to the voltage regulator.
Results:
- OK - The sensing circuit is good. Go to Step 4.
- Not OK - The sensing circuit is bad.
Repair: Troubleshoot and repair the wiring or connections.
STOP
Test Step 4. Replace the Voltage Regulator
Refer to Service Manual, KENR8205 for instructions in order to replace the regulator.
Results:
- OK - STOP
