Bench Inspection Procedure
Tools Required
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Important: Perform the following inspection in order to verify operation of a repaired
generator:
- Mount the generator in a test stand. Ensure that the test stand is capable
of driving a generator at 6,500 RPM.
- Connect the J 39200
.
Important: Ensure that the battery is fully charged when making this test.
Run the engine at 2,500 RPM and at ambient temperature.
- Slowly increase the generator speed and observe the voltage using J 39200
.
- If the voltage is uncontrolled or exceeds 16 volts, repair
or replace the generator.
- If the voltage is below 16 volts, perform the following
steps:
5.1. | Increase the generator speed. |
5.2. | Connect the carbon pile. |
5.3. | Adjust the carbon pile in order to obtain maximum amperage output. |
5.4. | Maintain 13 volts or more. |
- Use an ammeter in order to check the amperage.
• | If the output is within 15 amps of rated output, the generator
is good. |
• | If the output is not within 15 amps of rated output, then
repair or replace the generator. |
