Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR)

The voltage regulator acts to increase or decrease

current flow to the rotor windings based on the

demands of the load connected to the generator. The

increase or decrease in current flow through the rotor

results in a proportional increase or decrease in the

rotor’s magnetic field strength, which is what induces

(AC) current in the power windings of the stator.

The operating sequence for this type of voltage

regulator is as follows:

Figure 1

• The rotor turns at a pre-determined speed.

• Voltage is induced into the stator windings

by residual magnetism in the rotor.

• Voltage from the 120VAC stator power

windings are available through wires 11,22,

33, and 44 to the circuit breaker. Any

electrical load connected to the generator

will complete the circuit.

• 120 VAC and frequency signals are

delivered from the stator winding via wires

11A and 22A, to the voltage regulator at

sensing terminals 11(A, Figure 1) and 22

(B). If for any reason sensing or frequency is

lost, the voltage regulator will turn off, and it

will only turn back on when the generator is

shut down and restarted.

• Excitation winding output is delivered

through wires 2 and 6 to the voltage

regulator at excitation terminals 2 (C) and 6

(D). If the excitation wire connections are

reversed, the voltage regulator will shut off.

• The voltage regulator converts the (AC)

excitation winding output to (DC) and

delivers the (DC) output to the rotor via the

red wire (+) (E), brush, and slip ring. Then it

moves throughout the rotor winding, the slip

ring and the (-) brush and through the black

wire (F). The (DC) output from the voltage

regulator to the rotor is based on the voltage

and frequency signals received from sensing

wires 11A and 22A.

Troubleshooting

Refer to Figure 2 for wire identification and locations

when performing the following tests.

Figure 2

TEST 1 - Check Voltage and Frequency Output

1. Disconnect any electrical loads.

2. Check all circuit breakers and verify they are

ON.

3. Set meter to measure AC volts.

4. Connect the meter test leads into a 120 VAC

generator receptacle.

5. Connect a frequency meter into a generator

receptacle.

6. Start the generator engine, let it stabilize and

warm up.

7. Read the “no-load” voltage and frequency, and

analyze the results as follows:

• If zero volts or less than 1VAC is indicated

proceed to Test 2 - Flash the Field.

• If low voltage is indicated, but readings is

above 1VAC and AC frequency is normal

proceed to Test 3 - Isolate the Control Panel.

• If low voltage is indicated, but reading is

above 6VAC and AC frequency is low the

engine governor may need adjustment.

Refer to the appropriate engine manual for

further governor troubleshooting.

TEST 2 - Flash the Field

In normal generator operation, upon startup there is

some “residual” magnetism in the rotor to get the

generating process started. Residual magnetism is

what is left in the rotor after the unit has shut down.

When residual magnetism is lost, the unit will have an

output voltage that will remain at zero. This usually

occurs if the unit is out of use for a long period of time. If

residual magnetism is lost, it can usually be restored by

“flashing the field” with a simple process involving a

(DC) battery.

1. Obtain a 12VDC battery and two jumper leads

with alligator clip ends.

2. Remove the four screws and remove the rear

bearing cover.

3. Gain access to the AVR and disconnect the

brush wires.

NOTICE: Isolate brush leads from each other and do

not allow them to touch grounded parts.

4. Connect the battery positive (+), to the positive

brush, which will be the brush closest to the

rotor bearing.

5. Connect the battery negative (-), to the negative

brush, which is the brush farthest away from the

rotor bearing (Figure 3).

Figure 3

6. Start the engine and allow it to stabilize at

running speed.

7. After about 5 seconds, shut the engine down.

8. Disconnect the battery wires from the

brushes.(Disconnect negative (-) battery wire

last).

9. Restart the unit and check once again for

proper (AC) output voltage.

• If output voltage is within specifications,

troubleshooting is complete.

• If output voltage is not within specifications,

proceed to Test 3- Isolate Control Panel.

TEST 3 - Isolate Control Panel

A “No Output” condition may or may not be related to

the alternator windings. To help isolate where the issue

is, follow these steps:

1. With the engine OFF, disconnect the power

lead harness from the back of the control panel.

2. Set meter to measure AC volts.

WARNING Battery posts, terminals, and related

accessories contain lead and lead compounds,

chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after

handling.

WARNING Starter and other rotating parts

could entangle hands, hair clothing, or

accessories resulting in serious injury.

• DO NOT touch rotating parts.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that

could be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.

• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

• DO NOT allow unqualified persons to service

generator.

WARNING Generator voltage could cause

electrical shock or burn resulting in death or

serious injury.

• DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

• DO NOT allow unqualified persons to service

generator.

3. Connect the test leads to the stator wires #11

and #22 located in the control panel connector.

Polarity does not matter (Figure 4).

4. Start the engine and measure the voltage

output.

5. Shut off the engine.

• A voltage output of 120VAC indicates the

alternator is functioning, and the no output

condition is likely in the control panel.

Disassemble the control panel and inspect

for any indication of what may cause no

output. Refer to the unit wiring diagram to

verify connections.

• A low voltage output indicates the alternator

needs to be tested. Proceed to Check

Alternator.

Check Alternator

Alternator Disassembly

The alternator can be diagnosed without complete

disassembly. To access the power winding, disconnect

the connector from the back of the control panel. The

Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is mounted inside

the rear bearing carrier (F, Figure 4). To access the

AVR, remove the four screws (A) and remove the

plastic, rear bearing cover (B). The AVR (E) slides in

two grooves cast into the rear bearing carrier. To

remove the AVR, slide it out and disconnect the wiring.

The brushes (D) are also mounted to the rear bearing

carrier. Remove the two screws (C) and carefully pull

out the brushes.

Once removed, the rotor slip rings can be accessed

through the area where the brushes were mounted.

NOTICE: The brushes are made of a carbon material

and can easily break. Use care when removing and

installing the brushes.

Figure 4

There are two methods of testing the alternator

windings:

1. Measuring the winding resistance and

comparing them to the specifications.

2. Bypassing the Automatic Voltage Regulator

(AVR).

The tests can be performed individually or in

conjunction with each other.

Measure Winding Resistance

Test Stator AC Power Winding Resistance

1. Set meter to measure Ohms.

2. Connect the test leads to stator wires #11 and

#22 located in the harness going to the control

panel connector (Figures 2 and 5).

Figure 5

3. Measure the resistance and compare it the

nominal resistance from the specifications

listed in the back of this manual.

4. Connect the test leads to stator wires #33 and

#44 located in the control panel connector

(Figures 2 and 6).

Figure 6

5. Measure the resistance and compare it to the

nominal resistance listed in the back of this

manual.

• A reading within the specifications listed is

acceptable.

• A reading of infinity or high resistance

indicates an opening in the power winding.

Replace the stator.

• A low reading indicates a shorted stator

winding. Replace the stator.

6. Connect one meter test lead to a proper ground

on alternator. Connect the other test lead to the

stator power winding.

• A reading of infinity should be measured. If a

reading of infinity is measured and the stator

resistance is within specifications, the stator

is functioning properly.

• A reading other than infinity indicates a

stator winding shorted to ground. Replace

the stator.

Test Stator Excitation Winding Resistance

The excitation wires may be colored (red and blue) or

numbered (#2 and #6). Colored excitation wires must

not be confused with the colored power wires. The

excitation wires were disconnect earlier from the

voltage regulator earlier in Measuring Winding

Resistance.

1. Set meter to measure Ohms.

2. Connect the test lead to the stator excitation

wires #2 and #6 (Figure 7). These wires were

previously disconnected from the AVR.

Figure 7

3. Measure the resistance and compare it to the

nominal resistance listed in the back of this

manual.

• A reading within the specifications listed is

acceptable.

• A reading of infinity or high resistance

indicates an opening in the power winding.

Replace the stator.

• A low reading indicates a shorted winding.

Replace the stator.

4. Connect one test lead to a stator power wire.

Connect the other test lead to one of the stator

excitation wires.

• A reading of infinity should be measured. If a

reading of infinity is measured and the stator

resistance is within specifications, the stator

is functioning properly.

• A reading other than infinity indicates a

power winding shorted to an excitation

winding. Replace the stator.

5. Connect one test lead to an excitation wire.

Connect the other test lead to a proper metal

ground.

• A reading of infinity should be measured.

• A reading other than infinity indicates a

winding shorted to ground. Replace the

stator.

Check Rotor Resistance

1. Set meter to measure Ohms.

2. Connect one test lead to each rotor slip ring

(Figure 8). The slip rings can be accessed

through the area where the brushes were

removed. Polarity does not matter.

NOTICE: Do not connect the test lead terminals.

Ensure that each test lead makes a connection to each

slip ring.

Figure 8

3. Measure the rotor resistance. Compare it to the

nominal resistance from the specifications

listed in the back of this manual.

• A reading of infinity or a very high resistance

indicates an open circuit or a partially open

condition of the rotor windings. Before

replacing the rotor, proceed to Bypass the

Automatic Voltage Regulator.

• A very low resistance indicates a shorted

rotor. Replace the rotor.

• If resistance is within specifications, proceed

to Step 4.

4. Connect one test lead to a proper metal ground

on the engine or alternator and the other test

lead to either slip ring.

• A reading of infinity should be measured. If a

reading of infinity is measured and the rotor

resistance is within specifications, the rotor

is functioning properly.

• A reading other than infinity indicates a rotor

winding shorted to the rotor shaft. Replace

the rotor.

Bypass the Automatic Voltage

Regulator

Bypassing the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) will

test all wiring and windings within the alternator without

disassembly of the generator. There are three AC

Voltage checks and one DC Amperage test to be

performed. The exact readings may very depending on

ambient temperature, battery voltage, meter

calibration, etc.

An open in the rotor could cause lowered voltage

readings during these tests. Check and record all the

voltage readings first, then check and record the

amperage draw on the rotor. This test requires a fully

charged 12V battery. Using a battery that is not fully

charged will give inaccurate readings.

1. Disconnect Wires #1, #4, #11A, #22A, #2, and

#6 from the AVR. Set AVR aside.

NOTICE: Isolate wire terminals from each other and do

not allow them to touch grounded parts.

2. Disconnect the power wire harness from the

back of the control panel.

3. Set meter to measure AC Voltage. Connect one

test lead to wire #2 and the other test lead to

wire #6. Wires #2 and #6 were previously

disconnected from the voltage regulator

(Figure 9).

Figure 9

4. Connect a jumper wire from battery positive (+)

to the positive brush terminal. Then connect

another jumper wire from battery negative (-) to

negative brush terminal (Figure 10).

should be higher that the AC Voltage measured across

Wire #11A and Wire #22A. Refer to Figure 13 when

performing the following test.

There is one DC Amperage test to perform. The exact

amperage readings may vary depending on ambient

temperature, battery voltage, meter calibration, etc.

1. Set meter to read DC Amperage.

2. Connect the meter in series between battery

positive (+) and wire #4 (Figure 13). Refer to the

operation/instruction manual for the meter you

are using for correct test lead locations and

meter settings.

3. Connect the meter in series between the 12V

battery negative (-) and Wire #1.

4. Manually start the unit and measure DC

Amperage. Reading should be 1.0 - 1.5 Amps.

Figure 13

5. Disconnect the battery from Wire #1 and Wire

#4.

6. Analyze test results as follows:

• If all readings are within the specification, the

alternator is good and the voltage regulator

is suspect.

• If amperage reading in within the range, and

one or more of the voltage readings are low,

the stator is suspect.

• High amperage indicates a short in the rotor.

Verify batter y voltage, wiring, and

connections. Repair as necessary, then

retest. If the reading is still high, replace the

rotor.

• Low or no amperage, indicates an open in

the rotor. Verify the meter’s fuse is good and

check the battery voltage, wiring, and

connections. Repair as necessary, then

retest. If reading is still low, replace the rotor.

7. Restore wiring harness to the control panel and

the AVR.
