I said I was not going to get involved again if you continued to work on all these gen sets in one thread. And this is the last post I will make here. You were wrong to run the set with two safety systems disconnected. Even more wrong is the fact that you are running it at high and max loads...

Same, same.

Your good.

Then be so kind as to go back and amend you original post.

Learn something new every day! Now, the hard part is remembering it.

One step at a time.

There is no way 3 switches can be bad. I have only seen maybe 3 bad switches in all the time I worked on this set. Dirty, funky, yes. All bad? No. So, that leaves only: 1. You not hitting the right places to measure ohms. 2. The S8 switch schedule is wrong. 3. Switch position is wrong when...

Odds are slim. Yes it comes apart. You need to know, that its not a user friendly thing to take it apart AND get it back together. Several folks here have done it, with success.

This is what I wrote in post #564 If you are going to do the swap, then I would tell you to check EVERY OTHER connection on the AC output side. Do not ASSUME everything is hunky dorry. KNOW it is. With the main gen out, there really is not all that much to look at.

You are going to maybe put a new bearing in it? Cheap insurance.

When you do it several times, you quickly find the short cuts and it takes really not long at all to get at the main gen. I think what you are seeing could be what happens when the A1 is bad in the over volt way. Hence the Quad Mod.

If you are going to do the swap, then I would tell you to check EVERY OTHER connection on the AC output side. Do not ASSUME everything is hunky dorry. KNOW it is. With the main gen out, there really is not all that much to look at. If you do start work on another gen set, I would advise...

Of course. That also. But he should start at the input side of K1 and work back. The problem can not be after K1, because the K1 never came into play. Part of the problem could be that you had this thing torn apart too long. Where did you buy these sets? The fact that the exciter wires were BOTH...

Its far fetched, but you could have, like Kurt wrote, a problem in the K1. Saw several in all the time I worked Ground Power, where internal in the K1 was a "melt down". Remove the wires A1, B1 and C1, Then test K1. Simply test between A1, B1 and C1. Then work your way BACK to the main gen.

Time out. Stop and think. The S6 is all about measurement. S8 is all about output. Your problem is in the output side.

Start here. Make sure S1 works right and the wires are hooked up right.

Was wondering too.

Yep, A1 had failed in a matter that did not take the quad windings with it, or it was swapped out at some point as Guy pointed out. Interesting that this set only has 32 hours on it, is a 2000 model, and was never reset. There is a Reset document in the TM forum. But you need to understand what...

Open to see comments.

Was there a data plate on the set that said it was reset in 2015?
