Only getting output from one side of alternator????
« on: August 19, 2014, 11:07:35 PM »
The other night there was a power outage, I started my Generac PP5000T brush-less generator and let it warm up before I transferred the power over. I noticed that the kitchen lights were very dim so I checked the generator and all appeared fine, however when I went back inside the kitchen lights were not on. I then checked the 220volt output of the generator and discovered that it was only putting out voltage from one 110 volt leg of the alternator the other leg had no voltage output. I then checked the voltage from the duplex receptacle one outlet had 110 volts but the other outlet had no voltage. Any ideas as to what the problem may be and how I can troubleshoot the no voltage condition would be appreciated.

Thanks to all

Bill

sounds like possibly a faulty Cb. or a loose connection
