Possible Causes

AVR sensing failure, Incorrect AVR wiring, Defective AVR, Loose or broken voltage sensing leads

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: High voltage is dangerous. Isolate the generator from all loads and mains before inspection.

  • Confirm over‑voltage: With the generator running at rated speed and isolated, measure line‑to‑line voltage. If significantly above nameplate, shut down immediately.
  • Inspect AVR sensing circuit: In the alternator terminal box, locate the small gauge sensing wires going to the AVR. Ensure they are connected to the correct phases and are not broken or shorted.
  • Check AVR configuration: Verify any jumpers or selector switches on the AVR are set for the correct voltage and phase configuration for the JCB alternator.
  • Replace AVR if needed: If wiring is correct and voltage remains high, replace the AVR with the correct JCB‑approved part.
  • Controller settings: Confirm the JCB controller over‑voltage trip level is set according to the generator specification and not too low.
