When the mains power is on again, if the generator does not deactivate, This situation can be caused by various reasons. Here are the possible reasons and solutions:
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Problems:
Cause: The ATS may not be able to detect when the mains power is restored or may not be able to deactivate the generator. This can happen because the ATS is faulty, incorrectly adjusted, or due to a mechanical issue.
Solution: Ensure to check ATS and test working properly. Ensure to do the settings properly. Repair and replacement faulty compenants.
Voltage Detection Problems:
Cause: The sensors that detect the mains voltage of the ATS or generator may be faulty. This may result in it not being able to properly detect when mains power is restored.
Solution: Ensure to check voltage detection sensors. And If necessary replace them. Test working properly sensors.
Control Panel Failure:
Cause: There may be a fault control panel in the generator, This can prevent the generator from being cut out.
Solution: Ensure to check the control panel and make sure it is working properly. Repair or replace faulty compenants.
Wiring and Connection Problems:
Cause: There may be loose or broken connections to the ATS or generator, making it difficult to detect when utility power is restored.
Solution: Ensure to check all the wiring and cables. Tighten any loose connections and replace any broken wires.
Frequance or Settings Problems:
Cause: The frequency or voltage settings of the generator or ATS may be incorrect and this may create incompatibility with the mains electricity.
Solution: Ensure to check Frequance and voltage settings and if necessary reset.
Software and Programming Issues:
Cause: There may be an error in the software of the ATS or generator control unit.
Solution: Ensure to check software or programming settings. If necessary update or reset to factory settings.
Instability of Grid Electricity:
Cause: The utility power may have returned, but it may be unstable or at low voltage, preventing the ATS from switching.
Solution: Make sure that the mains power is stable and at the correct voltage. Contact the electricity distribution company and have the situation checked.
