The terminals and heat sinks are live at hazardous voltages when power
is applied and for up to 8 minutes after power is removed.
OT OK - If the voltage adjustment is too low, adjust the voltage to the correct setpoint.

STOP.
2. Verify that the underfrequency setpoint (knee frequency) is not greater than the generator
frequency.
OT OK - If the underfrequency setpoint is too high, adjust the setpoint below the rated
generator frequency.
STOP.
OT OK - If the generator is not at rated speed, increase the generator speed to the rated
level.
STOP.
5. Check for the correct input power to the voltage regulator. Refer to Specification, "Electrical"
for input power requirements.
OT OK - If the voltage regulator input voltage is low, refer to the generator manual for
PMG repair.
STOP.
6. Verify that the potential transformer (if used) has the correct turns ratio and is supplying the
correct voltage to the power input.
OT OK - If the turns ratio of the potential transformer is incorrect, is sized too small, or the
transformer is not supplying the correct power, replace the potential transformer.
STOP.
7. Verify that the sensing potential transformer (if used) has the correct turns ratio and is
operating correctly.
OT OK - If the turns ratio of the sensing potential transformer is incorrect, replace the
sensing potential transformer.

STOP.
8. Low generator output voltage may occur when operating in droop mode with an inductive
load. If the low voltage condition is not caused by the droop function, go to step 9.
