Hi,
I have a next gen 3.5 which has run well for a couple of years.
After reviewing my
wiring, i decide to put in
fuses etc at the
batteries as these were totally absent for
engine, and house banks. So far so good, i then thought about the fact that the
generator was basically hard wired to the
batteries with no fuse or isolation switch. I put in a 250 amp anl fuse and also a simple
battery on/ off switch to disconect the
generator from any
power source when not in use or to isolate it in the event of a problem.
Problem is that now the generator starts fine but will not out put any
current. I think the capacitors need exiting?, could this be due to the fact that i leave the generator "cold", ie switch off the switch when i am not using it hence the capacitors discharge? This never happened when the generator was hard wired?
Charlie.
