Voltage Regulator Adjustment - Kohler 10CCOZ61 Service Manual

Voltage Regulator
Adjustment
The PowerBoostä V voltage regulator monitors
generator output to control current flow to the generator
field. PowerBoostä V maintains generator output under
load until the generator engine speed drops to a pre-set
level (factory setting 57.5 Hz on 60 Hz models and 47.5
Hz on 50 Hz models). At this point (under factory
settings) the regulator allows generator voltage and
current to drop to a level sufficient to handle load. When

the generator speed returns to normal (60 Hz or 50 Hz)
as load is accepted, generator output also returns to
normal. The voltage regulator is factory set for proper
generator operation under a variety of load conditions.
Under normal circumstances, no further adjustment is
necessary. However, if the regulator is replaced, has
been tampered with, or voltage/frequency reconnection
has been done, readjust according to the following
procedure. Voltage regulator components are identified
in Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6 and described in the
following paragraphs.
