32
What This Code Means
Governor Actuator Fault; Governor Actuator Overload; Unable to sense output voltage; High Battery Voltage; Voltage across the battery system is greater than 19 Volts; Low Cranking Speed; Cranking speed is less than 180 RPM for more than 2 seconds; Overcurrent warning; Overcurrent shutdown; Generator set shutdown; Field overload shutdown; Overload (kW) warning; Load dump signal activation; Reverse power shutdown; Reverse Var shutdown; Short circuit protection activation; Loss of sensing voltage shutdown; Over load (kW) warning; Short circuit protection trip; Remote emergency stop; Shutdown of generator set; Warning indication; Overcurrent condition
Possible Causes
- •Control sensed an open or shorted circuit
- •Duration of operation is near full-duty cycle beyond design limit
- •Dirty air filter
- •Blocked exhaust system
- •Voltage sense circuit failure
- •12 Volt batteries serving the generator set are connected in series (24 Volt) rather than in parallel (12 Volt)
- •Battery boost charge rate is too high
- •Dirty or loose battery cable connections
- •Low battery charge or depleted battery
- •Current exceeding the instantaneous trip level calculated based on current transformer ratio and application power rating
- •Current exceeding the thermal damage curve thresholds
- •Loss of voltage sensing inputs to the control
- •Field overload condition
- •Engine is operating at a load level over the set point (80 - 140% of application rated kW)
- •Reverse power levels exceeding the adjustment range (5 - 20% of standby kW rating)
- •Reverse Var level exceeding adjustable limits (15 - 50% of rated Var output)
- •Output current on any phase is more than 175% of rating and approaching the thermal damage point of the alternator
- •Current exceeds thermal damage curve
- •Current exceeds instantaneous trip level
- •High field voltage
Suggested Actions
- 1Contact Local Dealer or Distributor
- 2Reduce the number of connected appliances, especially air conditioners and battery chargers
- 3Replace the air filter if dirty
- 4If exhaust system is blocked, remove blockage
- 5Check battery bank connections and reconnect if necessary so that the 12 Volt batteries serving the generator set are connected in parallel (12 Volt) rather than in series (24 Volt)
- 6Select a lower battery boost charge rate
- 7Clean and tighten the positive (+) and negative (–) battery cable connections at the battery and at the generator set
- 8Recharge or replace the battery
- 9Load dump signal activation
- 10Remote fault reset
