Perkins 80kva Diesel Generator showing fault "failed to stop". I have a DSE7310 control unit on a Perkins Generator and Leroy Somer alternator.

The engine kicked in during my test this morning and then I took it out of test mode as normal but the alarm sounded and the fault shown stated that the engine failed to stop. It did stop but now I can't get it out of this mode and it won't start again. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hello, did you try to contact your generator supplier to get the solutions? If not, here is some suggestions to you:
Try to find wthat is the cuases of generator stop.
Generally speaking, the design of sound and light alarm is not allowed to eliminate the light alarm artificially. Sound can be artificially eliminated, and light can never be artificially eliminated.
Because the signal of the light alarm comes from the sensor, when the fault disappears, the signal of the sensor will disappear and the alarm light will also be extinguished.

SOURCE: wf860p computer control automatic

I have had this problem it is caused by accidentally pressing both the on and start button together. It puts the machine into demo mode. You need to press both the buttons together again for about 30 seconds. If it doesn't work first time switch the machine off and do it again. Sometimes you have to do this many times before it works but eventually it does work.
Very frustrating.
I found the cause was either leaning on the front of the machine or resting a broom which when you pick it up accidentally presses the two buttons.

Imagine the white smoke is unburnt diesel. Anybody standing in the middle of it will be able to tell you soon enough.

Most likely culprit is that one or two of the glow plugs aren't getting hot enough. Usually just that the plugs need replacing, but worth checking first that the busbar which runs between them all is getting +12V at the appropriate stage of the process.

SOURCE: Charging Light On After Replacing Alternator/Battery1999Windstar

Hi, I can't tell you exactly what is wrong because there is too much involved at this point, what with 2 shops working with it, but I can give you some advise on what else to check. On the alternators and the wiring that supports them a small volt charge is taken off one of the slip rings, where the brushes ride, for the purpose of turning out the light. As I remember, this is a yellow wire that runs back to the dash.

To the alternator, it would be one of the wires that plug into the side of the alternator case.

Perkins 20 kva diesel generator runs and stops in about 2 minutes.alternator failure is displayed on screen.

Ensure any engine control switch is set to the run position, with the load disengaged. Manually set the air shut off valve (if fitted) to the run position (see Fig. 18), Turn the key switch to the start position, which will energize the solenoid allowing the engine to crank over for a few seconds then start.

Check the instrument panel is showing normal running oil pressure, and the ammeter for charge to the engine batteries.
Allow the engine to run for five minutes checking the instruments are reading correctly. Stop the engine and check the oil and coolant levels, replenish if necessary.

What areall main causes of generator main stator burnt in sr4 &leroy somer alternators.

It can be many many factors, aside from the obvious (overloading) check the type of laods and the power factor of those loads, the gen alternator is rated at 0.8PF if your laod is a UPS without a switchable input filter, there is a good chance the unit is going into over excitation due to a leading PF. I have seen that before

Its 230kvaperkins generator it starts normally,but after thirty minutes it shuts dawn automatically indicating low frequency

Low frequency means the RPM of the motor has fallen off.

Check your fuel is NOT contaminated or fuel filters plugged.

Further tests should focus on the govenor system. Possibly it fails when engine gets hot. the frequency is directly proportional to the engine speed.
