8.6 Checking the Exciter Stator
Prerequisites Generator shut down
Procedure Follow the procedure below to check the exciter stator.
1. Open the large hinged panel and locate the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR).
2. Disconnect the blue and yellow wires from the AVR.
3. Measure the continuity between the blue wire and ground. Also measure between the
yellow wire and ground.
Does each wire measure “OPEN” or “OL” to ground?
4. Measure the resistance across the blue and the yellow wires.
Is 10.6–12.0 Ohms measured?
5. Remove the vent cover from the generator to expose the rotor.
6. Measure the continuity between the blue wire and the rotor. Also measure between the
yellow wire and the rotor.
Does each wire measure “OPEN” or “OL” to the rotor?
7. Reconnect the wiring, and re-install the vent cover.
The auxiliary winding has now been checked. Continue with Checking the AVR Sensing
Wires.
