    K5 = excitation/ Field flash. In the norm, this is the culprit. Someone held up the S2 too long.

    Typical A5 Failure. The K5 relay should be ok, but TEST, TEST, TEST! And as you see, the R3 & R6 have been hot. Typical. They need to be tested also. I kept 2-3 of the A5 Cards in my desk, or in the jump box. The beauty of the A5 card was it fit all gen sets from 15 KW to 100 KW. I also kept...
