What to do if my Leroy-Somer Portable Generator has violent shocks?
If your Leroy-Somer Portable Generator experiences a violent shock, possibly followed by humming and vibrations, immediately stop the generator set. This could be due to a short-circuit on the installation or an incorrect coupling (parallel coupling not in phase).
Why is my Leroy-Somer Portable Generator vibrating and humming loudly?
If your Leroy-Somer Portable Generator has excessive vibration and humming noise, stop the gen-set and check the installation. This may be due to a three-phase alternator being single-phase loaded in excess of an acceptable level or a short-circuit in the alternator stator. If humming persists after starting up with no load, further investigation is needed.
How to fix too many vibrations in Leroy-Somer Portable Generator?
To address excessive vibrations in your Leroy-Somer Portable Generator, check the coupling and mounting of the machines. This issue may arise from misalignment, defective mounting, play in the coupling or incorrect balancing of the shaft (engine-alternator).
Why is my Leroy-Somer LSA 37 Portable Generator alternator overheating?
If your Leroy-Somer Portable Generator's alternator frame is overheating (temperature 100°F over ambient), check the air inlets and outlets of the alternator for any blockages or hot air recirculation. Also, verify the control equipment (voltmeter-ammeter) to ensure the alternator is not functioning at a voltage exceeding 105% of its rated voltage on load. Finally, check the ambient temperature to ensure the alternator is not overloaded.
What to do if Leroy-Somer Portable Generator bearings are overheating?
If one or both bearings of your Leroy-Somer Portable Generator are excessively overheating (temperature over 80 °C), change the bearing if it has turned blue or the grease has turned black. If the bearing race is badly locked or there is bracket misalignment, disassemble the bearings.
