BC GENERATORS TROUBLESHOOTING
TESTING CONTINUITY
Quick field check (no capacitance scale on meter).
Connect a digital ohm meter or analog ohm meter
· (high scale) to the capacitor terminals. The meter will
register and arbitrary ohm value for the material in the .
capacitor. the meter's battery will then start to charge the
capacitor and tl,le ohm value will increase.
If the meter does not react as above, the capacitor is faulty.
· The method above indicates a presumably good capacitor,
but does not verify it's microfared rating as would be
necessary when troubleshooting a capacitor whose MF rating
has
dropped causing a low AC voltage output. In such cases,
the capacitors rating MUST be verified accurately. ·
A WARNING: Capacitors must be discharged before
handling as they store electricity and can pack a poten·
tlaUy lethal charge even when disconnected from their
power source •.

NOTE: When changing a capacitor due to a capacitor faiiure,
referenee ·the capq.citor rating as printed on th~ body of the
capai::itor and' order the correct replacement. Installing a
capacitor. of a higher.MFD- rating will result in high AC
output vo?tage 'and installing a capacitor of a lower MFD __
rating will result in low AC output voltage .
