Possible Causes
Faulty engine speed sensor, Sticking fuel rack or actuator, Incorrect governor settings, Controller speed calibration error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not attempt to restart repeatedly after an overspeed event. Overspeed can cause severe mechanical damage.
- Check speed sensor: Locate the magnetic pickup or speed sensor near the flywheel or ring gear. Inspect for loose mounting, damaged cable, or metal debris on the sensor tip. Clean and reseat it; replace if damaged.
- Inspect fuel actuator/governor: On electronic governor systems, verify the fuel actuator linkage moves freely and is not binding. Lubricate linkages lightly if recommended by the engine manufacturer.
- Review controller settings: In the Aksa controller configuration (service level), verify rated speed (e.g., 1500 or 1800 rpm) and overspeed threshold are correctly set. Only qualified personnel should change these parameters.
- Check for load changes: Confirm that no sudden load rejection or grid disturbance caused a transient overspeed. If overspeed occurs with no load, suspect governor or actuator faults.
- Professional inspection: If overspeed recurs, have a technician verify mechanical governor operation and perform a full speed calibration.
