6.23 Automatic Voltage Regulator
See Graphic: wc_gr000951
To check the regulator: Unplug the generator from the control panel.
• If the generator has low voltage, approximately 2 – 5 VAC as mea-
sured at the 120 VAC receptacles, remove F1, F2, L1 and L2 from the
regulator. Start and run the generator. If voltage output is approxi-
mately 150 VAC measured at L1 and L2 and engine speed is 3600
rpm, replace regulator.
• If the generator has low voltage, approximately 65 VAC measured at
the 120 VAC receptacles, remove F1, F2, L1 and L2 from the regula-
tor. Start and run the generator. If voltage output is approximately 150
VAC measured at L1 and L2, and engine speed is 3600 rpm, replace
regulator.
• If the generator has high voltage, approximately 150 VAC as mea-
sured at the 120 VAC receptacles, and the engine speed is 3600rpm,
replace regulator.
• When replacing the regulator, adjust the voltage to 120 VAC at recep-
tacles with the Voltage Adjustment Pot (a) on the regulator
