1448
UnclassifiedGeneral
What This Code Means
Frequency dropped below Underfrequency Threshold for the set Underfrequency Delay parameter
Possible Causes
- •Damaged voltage regulator
- •Faulty rotating rectifier assembly (diodes CR1 through CR6)
- •Improper connections at generator output terminals
- •Incorrect voltage sense or setup wiring connection
- •Overload
Suggested Actions
- 1Bring the generator to idle
- 2Check connections
- 3Check each diode
- 4Check for current spikes
- 5Check for motor starts
- 6Check for overload
- 7Check inrush current
- 8Check operation by disconnecting the load and restarting the unit
- 9Check that load is within proper operating range
- 10Compare connections in generator to wiring schematic
- 11Connect InPower
- 12Correct according to the appropriate schematic as needed
- 13Correct any overload
- 14Disconnect the generator control harness from the voltage regulator
- 15Inspect the voltage regulator and the generator control harness connector pins
- 16Turn off the generator
- 17Using InPower, verify that the AC voltage output is greater than residual
- 18Verify that excitation inputs J18–1 and J18–2 are connected to the correct generator PMG terminals
- 19Verify that the voltage sensing inputs J22-1, J22-2, J22-3, and J22-4 are connected to L1, L2, L3, and L4 respectively
- 20Visually inspect for corroded pins, bent or broken pins, pushed back or expanded pins
