Hello Electricians here.
I have a Prob/question and am hoping that someone can shed some light over here.
I have a small portable generator driven by a petrol engine.
2 outputs = 220v and 110v
But the generator will not generate, I have checked the wiring I can and all switches seem ok , also a 22uf capacitor is OK
But if I start the engine then put a link across the two output wires, bingo, it works,. this also happens if I start it then when it is switched to 220v I put a link across the Live and neutral of the 110v socket , just for 1 second or less, I see the volt meter jump up to 220v , ( before the link I only can read 9 or 10v max at this output,
However this will only work until I stop the generator, even if only for a few seconds , when I restart , nothing . until I put the link in again,
q. why is this ? what is going on ? how can I make it just generate without the link ....
I know somebody will know all about gennys here please pour wisdom upon me .....thanks
