How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Work only with covers in place where possible; avoid contact with live terminals.
- Check load type: Identify any large variable‑speed drives or welders causing fluctuations. Test generator without these loads.
- Inspect AVR sensing: Tighten all sensing connections and ensure they are on the correct phases.
- Examine brushes/slip rings: Clean dirty slip rings and replace worn brushes on brush‑type Aksa alternators.
- Replace AVR: If instability persists with a clean, balanced load, replace the AVR with the correct model.
