Generator Diagnostics CONVENTIONAL GENERATOR DIAGNOSTICS Introduction All conventional Yamaha generators, with the excep- tion to the EDL6500S, are brushless self-exciting type generators. There are two methods of brush- less self-exciting generators. The first method is by using residual magnetism within the rotor as a source of excitation. These are models below 4,000 watts and are referred to as non-AVR type models.
Yamaha Generator Theory & Diagnostics Guide THEORY FOR NON-AVR TYPE GENERATORS The diagnostic procedures for all non-AVR models are the same. It will be necessary, however, to refer to each models service manual for the exact speci- fication of voltage and resistance readings.
Page 37
Generator Diagnostics TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES FOR NON-AVR TYPE GENERATORS Occasionally, the rotor may lose it’s residual magne- tism and make it impossible for the generator to begin the cycle of electricity. This can be caused by prolonged periods of non-use or from the shock of being dropped.
Page 38
Yamaha Generator Theory & Diagnostics Guide If not, continue to the next step. With the meter set for 200 volts AC and the genera- tor end cap removed, check for voltage between the brown and the red wire. If the voltage is 120, then the problem is in the con-...
Page 39
Generator Diagnostics The other type is a dual lead coil which is used in DUAL LEAD COIL RESISTANCE TEST generator applications. It has an insulated wire wrapped around an iron core with neither end attached to the core. Because the wire is insulated there is no physical contact between the wire and the core.
Page 40
Yamaha Generator Theory & Diagnostics Guide Then from either Green wire from the sub-coil to the SUB-COIL SHORT TO GROUND TEST core. Any resistance reading from either test, indi- cates that the stator is shorted to ground and must be replaced.
Page 41
Generator Diagnostics Use extreme care when handling the stator and rotor . DO NOT set them on their windings . Damage will occur . CHECKING ROTOR RECTIFIER Once the rotor has been removed, unsolder the IN ONE DIRECTION diode or diodes, depending on the model, using caution not to damage it by overheating.
Yamaha Generator Theory & Diagnostics Guide Then test for a short to ground. Connect one meter ROTOR SHORT TO GROUND TEST lead to one end of the rotor winding and the other end to the core of the rotor. There should be an open circuit on a good rotor.
Page 43
Generator Diagnostics That DC current then flows through the Main Field Coil, the last section of the rotor, and turns it into a north and a south pole magnet. The magnet spinning inside the sub-coil will then produce about 4-6 volts AC in the sub-coil. That AC current is fully rectified by diodes within the AVR circuit board.
Page 44
Yamaha Generator Theory & Diagnostics Guide TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES FOR AVR TYPE GENERATORS The troubleshooting procedure starts out exactly the same way as with the non-AVR type. First check the engine speed, especially if the prob- MAIN COIL RESISTANCE TEST lem is slightly low voltage. Adjust if out of specifica- tion.

Page 46
Yamaha Generator Theory & Diagnostics Guide And last, check for the Sub and Main Coils for being MAIN AND SUB-COIL shorted together. SHORT TOGETHER TEST CONDENSER TEST If the problem was not found in any of these areas, proceed to the condenser test using the analog meter.
Page 47
Generator Diagnostics And last, test the Exciter Armature Coil resistance ExCITER ARMATURE COIL and short to ground. RESISTANCE TEST SHORT TO GROUND TEST Then the Main Field Coil resistance and short to MAIN FIELD COIL RESISTANCE TEST ground. If the problem was not with any of these compo- nents, it will then be necessary to replace the AVR circuit board.
