TROUBLE SHOOTING AND SOLUTIONS Generator does not produce voltage. Voltage drops as Generator is being loaded. Voltage is increasing as the Alternator is loaded. Voltage of Generator is very high. Voltage is not read from one or two phases. Windings heat excessively. There is undulation at output voltage of Generator.
