PROBABLE CAUSE
A. Shorted diode in
exciter rectifier
(CR2).
B. Open or shorted exci-
ter rotor winding
(G2)
C. Open or shorted exci-
ter field windings
(L2)
D. Open or shorted gen-
erator rotor windings
(L1)
A. Open or short cir-
cuited winding in
generator stator (G1)
A. Loose connection
causing high resis-
tance.
B. Improper or blocked
ventilation.
C. Generator stator
windings short cir-
cuited

TEST, CHECK, AND/OR
REMEDY
A. Check diodes in accordance
with Sect. 2-3, para. 6. If
diodes are good, proceed to
step B.
B. Use ohmmeter to check for
open or shorted condition.
If exciter rotor windings
are good, proceed to step C.
C. Check field resistance.
for normal values.
D. Check resistance with ohm-
meter to determine if open
or short circuited.
A. Check stator winding resis-
tances. (See 2-3, Fig. 12)
for normal values.
A. Check all output connec-
tions. Look for discoloration
caused by heat. Tighten
or replace as required.
B. Check for foreign material
(rags, etc.) blocking air
flow. Provide adequate
ventilation.
C. Check stator windings.
A. Check all output connections.
Discolored connectors
indicate a loose connection.
Tighten or replace as
required.
B. Check stator windings in
