COURSE OF ACTION
OUTPUT PROBLEMS
The engine starts and runs at the
correct speed, but there is no AC
auxiliary output voltage. The DC
welding generator is functioning
correctly.
1. Check the AC auxiliary output
circuit breakers. Reset if
tripped.
2.
Check the 115VAC and
230VAC receptacles and plugs
for loose or faulty connections.
1. Check for loose or faulty con-
nections between the recepta-
cles, the circuit breakers, the
current transformer and the
exciter alternator stator. See
the Wiring Diagram.
2.
Check the 115VAC and
230VAC windings in the alterna-
tor stator for shorted turns or
grounds. Check the continuity
of the windings. See the Wiring
Diagram.
The engine starts and runs normal-
ly. The machine takes a long time
to “build-up” and produce output
voltage. The AC auxiliary voltage
varies when the Fine Current
Control Rheostat is adjusted.
1. Contact your local Authorized
Field Service Facility.
1.
Check the “flashing” diode
located on the DC generator
brush holder. The diode may
be “shorted” or installed incor-
rectly.
