Okay I have a question.
I was given a generator that is not putting out enough voltage. If I increase RPM will voltage increase too?

if not any ideas?

Thanks

 

Normaly----yes
remove enough stuff =air cleaner usually, to see the govenor adjustment nut on the linkage to the carburator. RIGHT TO TIGHT , usually results in increased RPM . use a good multi meter to SET the voltage to 115-120v AC.

Go fur it !!

nuff rain lately ? could use a break for lawn mowing !!!!

 

I've got this three phase DC generator that's giving me problems.

 

Thanks Neighbor

Man way to much rain I am tired of mowing too. we have about 10 acres in the RV park to mow each time it gets sunny

Was up your way Thursday and passed through Sat on the way to and from Winchester Bay.

 

What Duelin said ^^

If it drops under load it may be the governor acting up - kinda depends on which manufacturer's motor is doing the work as to how the governor works.

That is why tractor pto generators are subject to under/over voltage - usually a tractor governor doesn't govern under transient load well enough to keep the voltage extremely stable - but good enough for most things like pump motors and fans.

 

What make and model? If it's a Honda I can help. Jim

 

its cloudy now they say sun here for next few days.hope so
