Problem
Absence of output voltage
No-load voltage too low or
too high
Corrected no-load voltage
too low with load
Unstable tension
Troubleshooting
Possible cause
4) Water radiator or oil clogged (where it
is assembled)
5) Water circulating pump defective (Only
for water cooled motors)
6) Injectors defective. Injection pump
requires calibration
7) Alarm malfunction
1) Voltage switch in position 0
2) Voltage switch faulty
3) Protection tripped due to overload
4) Differential protection device tripped.
(Differential switch, differential relay)
5) Protection devices defective
6) Alternator not sparked
7) Alternator defective
1) Incorrect motor running speed
2) Voltage regulating device (where it is
assembled) defective or requires
calibration
3) Alternator defective
1) Incorrect motor running speed due to
overload
2) Load with cos ϕ less than 0.8
3) Alternator defective
1) Contacts malfunctioning
2) Irregular rotation of motor
3) Alternator defective
