A brushless generator’s alternator converts mechanical energy to electricity with the help of a rotor’s magnetic field. Subsequently, the ignition current flows into the magnetic field for full generator output. However, unlike a brushed alternator that uses brushes to conduct electricity, a brushless alternator cannot build and transmit voltage without magnetism. Therefore, how do you […]
Continue readingWhen you start a generator and nothing happens, there is no need to panic. A generator is a machine that probably has mechanical issues that we will troubleshoot together. By the end of this article, you will be ready to face any situation where a Kohler generator will not start. To help with troubleshooting, pay […]
Continue readingSomething will occasionally knock your generator offline. You won’t hear it conduct its weekly test, and it won’t turn on if you need electricity in an emergency. Resetting your generator could be the solution. So how do you reset your Kohler generator? Before resetting the controller, always determine and repair the reason for a fault shutdown. Then […]
Continue readingNo one can dispute the pivotal role of generators as sources of power. Be it during outages or in off-grid areas, these power equipment are indeed reliable. In line with reliable generators, we can’t overemphasize the top quality of Generac generators. Accordingly, one would be tempted to ask, how long does Generac last? In this article, […]
Continue readingThere is no time you will need to use your generator without an emergency of some sort. Therefore, the generator has to start at all costs. If you have trouble starting the generator, troubleshooting is the way to go. So, how do you troubleshoot a Generac generator? Here are some ways you want to try out […]
Continue readingThere are instances when you need to reset your Generac generator. While resetting the generator is an easy task, you need to do it, right. There is everything you are seeing right now, from the yellow light blinking to the green light and red light to consider. If your main question is how do I […]
Continue readingGenerators are big, complex power generators that we rely on to keep the world functioning when utility electricity breaks down. But what if your Kohler generator runs, but no power is produced? The loss of residual magnetism in the alternator and a failing AVR or other excitation component are typical causes of a generator not […]
Continue readingRemanence or residual magnetism in a generator is the amount of magnetism left in a generator after getting rid of the external magnetic field from the generator. This occurrence can be seen in portable generators, motors or transformers. When the generator loses its ability to start up, there is a chance that the residual magnetism is […]
Continue readingUU code is also known as under-voltage shutdown. What Causes the UU Code on Kohler Generators? The code UU indicates that the generator’s onboard diagnostic electronics have detected a low AC output. The system will shut down if the voltage falls below 80% of the nominal system voltage for more than 10 seconds to safeguard […]
Continue readingA portable generator is essential for providing power to electronic devices, appliances, and lighting in remote settings such as campgrounds or RVs. However, when there’s a power outage at home, a portable generator won’t have enough power output to supply the entire home; that’s why you need a standby generator; especially if the power outages […]
