UnclassifiedElectrical

What This Code Means

No AC Output Voltage; Unstable Voltage with Stable Engine; Unbalanced Output Voltage; Unbalanced generator output voltage; Unstable voltage with stable engine (genset); Excess white smoke at start-up (cold); Excess white smoke at start-up (warm); Genset starts but stops after switch releases; High/Low AC Output; Unstable Voltage; Unbalanced Generator Output Voltage

Possible Causes

  • Broken or loose wires
  • Control plugs not fully seated
  • Load breaker open
  • Improper output lead connection
  • Sense leads not fully seated in connector to control
  • Incorrect output lead configuration
  • Imbalanced load at generator terminals
  • Faulty generator lead connections
  • Faulty generator stator windings
  • Faulty connections to voltage regulator
  • Faulty regulator wiring harness
  • Faulty voltage regulator
  • Faulty glow plugs
  • Faulty engine coolant heater
  • Incorrect valve settings
  • Incorrect injection pump timing
  • Low engine compression
  • Low engine operating temperature
  • Quadrature resistance not open to ground
  • Load imbalance

Suggested Actions

  1. 1Check that the load breaker is closed
  2. 2Check for broken or loose wires
  3. 3Check that control plugs are fully seated
  4. 4Evaluate fault codes
  5. 5Check for proper output lead connection
  6. 6Check genset output voltage
  7. 7Check voltage at line side of genset breaker
  8. 8Check voltage at load side of genset breaker
  9. 9Check that sense leads are fully seated in connector to control
  10. 10Check load at genset breaker
  11. 11Check output lead configuration
  12. 12Troubleshoot load at generator terminals
  13. 13Troubleshoot generator lead connections
  14. 14Troubleshoot generator stator windings
  15. 15Check connections to voltage regulator
  16. 16Check regulator wiring harness
  17. 17Check voltage regulator
  18. 18Check glow plugs
  19. 19Check engine coolant heater
  20. 20Check valve settings
