Possible Causes

Defective AVR, Loose AVR sensing wires, Poor engine governor control, Incorrect AVR type installed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect sensitive electronics from the generator to avoid damage.

  • Inspect AVR connections: With the engine off, check that the AVR sensing leads are firmly connected to the correct stator taps.
  • Check engine speed: Verify that the engine is running at the rated RPM (usually 3000 rpm for 50 Hz). Adjust the governor as per Einhell specifications.
  • Replace AVR: If voltage remains unstable, install a new Einhell‑approved AVR matched to your generator model.

Do not continue operating with overvoltage, as it can damage connected equipment.
