Greetings all!
The problem arises when you change the frequency select switch to 60hz (with the genset off) and attempt to start it in this condition. It will run for a brief moment, until you take your hand off the start switch and it goes to prime and run, where it will then immediately shut down and the “over voltage” fault indicator will light. I should add to this that the engine seems to sound louder/faster when starting it in the 60hz setting.
Strangely when shut off and switched to 50hz, the genset starts and runs momentarily, and does the same as stated above (runs briefly and dies, over voltage lamp lights up). This strikes me as odd, as last week I had it running in the 50hz mode, albeit with some very odd and abnormal seeming readings on my multimeter. Now it won’t even stay running in either selection.
To add more information, In both freq settings I observed the gauge needles moving.
I’m open to any and all advice as the manual hasn’t been helpful with my progress.
Note:
I recently discovered that there is apparently a MWO for this model of genset, where you add a 3 amp fuse to one of the wires on A1.
This brings up another question I have. Would the lack of this fuse modification cause this to occur?
Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from others.
