Possible Causes

Damaged enclosure seals, Improper roof or cover installation, Blocked drain holes, High humidity without heaters

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect all power sources before drying or cleaning electrical components.

  • Step 1 – Dry interior: Use clean rags and gentle heat (not open flame) to dry water from components. Do not run the generator until fully dry.
  • Step 2 – Inspect seals: Check door gaskets, cable entry glands, and roof seams for gaps or damage. Replace worn seals.
  • Step 3 – Clear drains: Ensure any enclosure drain holes are open to allow water to escape.
  • Step 4 – Protect terminals: Clean corrosion from terminals and apply anti‑corrosion spray. Consider installing space heaters if recommended by Kipor for humid environments.
