  1. 5 Reasons Why Your Residential Generator Is Producing Low Voltage

  2. Is the voltage output of your generator too low?

  3. Voltage drop in a generator may result from the excessive load on the system.

  4. In addition to too much load, the voltage drop in a generator can also be caused by numerous other problems.

  5. Below we have rounded up some of the issues that can result in a similar problem.

  6. What causes low voltage in a generator?

  7. Alternator is defective

  8. This is the most obvious cause of voltage drop in a residential generator.

  9. That’s why if your generator is not producing enough volt, the first thing you should check is its alternator.

  10. If the alternator is not functioning correctly, replace it immediately.

  11. Automatic voltage regulator is faulty

  12. In some instances, the voltage drop in a generator might be caused by a faulty AVR.

  13. What is an AVR, you asked?

  14. Well, it is an electronic device that regulates the power output of the generator.

  15. And, obviously, if it wears off voltage output of your generator will be affected.

  16. Capacitor is damaged

  17. Just like a bad AVR, a broken capacitor can result in a voltage drop in a generator.

  18. Listed below are a few reasons that can result in capacitor failure in a generator; A power surge Overloading Degradation of building material

  19. Flawed circuit breaker

  20. Circuit breaker is designed to protect sensitive parts of your generator in the event of a fault occurrence.

  21. If it goes bad, you may notice a drop in the voltage output in your generator.

  22. Worn stator windings

  23. Voltage drop in your generator may also be caused by damaged stator windings.

  24. To fix the issue, you need to replace the defective stator windings.

  25. These are some of the potential reasons that can result in voltage drop in a generator.
