- OverLoad: Generator may be operating at a load above it is capacity. In this case, the generator stops to protect itself. Ensure to check the total power of the loads to see if it matches the capacity of the generator.
- Rapid Load Changes: Generator may have been exposed to sudden and over load changes. This type sudden changes may be caused to over loading of the generator.
- Fuel Problems: Problems with the generator's fuel system (for example, insufficient or poor quality fuel) can affect its performance and cause an overload alarm.
- Cooling Problems: If cooling system of generator does not working properly, generator may overheat and this may be cause an overload alarm.
- Electrical Problems: Electical compenants of the generator may be fault (alternator, voltage regülator.etc)
- Maintenance Deficiences: Various mechanical and electrical problems may occur in generators that have not been regularly maintained, which may lead to an overload alarm.
By checking each of these reasons one by one, you can find the source of the problem. It is also important to follow the maintenance and usage instructions specified in the generator's user manual.
