Possible Causes
Defective AVR causing runaway voltage, Incorrect AVR wiring, Poor voltage sensing connection, Controller calibration error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not operate the generator with an overvoltage condition; it can damage connected equipment. Isolate the unit from the load and lock out automatic start.
- Step 1 – Inspect AVR wiring: With power off, remove the alternator cover and verify that the AVR is wired exactly as per the Kipor wiring diagram. Correct any mis‑wired sensing or excitation leads.
- Step 2 – Check sensing connections: Loose or corroded sensing wires can cause the AVR to over‑correct. Clean and tighten all small‑gauge sensing wires on the stator and AVR terminals.
- Step 3 – Replace AVR: If wiring is correct and E09 persists, replace the AVR with the correct Kipor part number. Secure it properly to ensure good heat dissipation.
- Step 4 – Verify controller settings: Confirm nominal voltage and frequency settings in the Kipor controller menu. Do not alter factory‑set protection thresholds without manufacturer guidance.
