Yes, if the governor failed in a way that "makes it think" the generator is always running too fast it might prevent the generator from running at all.

Why electric generator drop the load?
Too much load for the generator, the generator began to under speed / overspeed, the governor / part of the generator went into failure, the generator capability was not up to the requirements placed by the system (needing to push out/pull in too many VARs), etc. there are many reasons for a generator to drop a load. Because a load dropped, this does not infer that the generator was the cause either (fault on the system, system instability limits reached, system protection tripped - non-generator related protection).
What could be the cause of overspeed in a diesel generator?
The causes of over loading in generator comes from the action of applying more load that the generator is rated for. An example using a 5000 watt generator and a connected load of 6000 watts.
What is critical speed of dc generator?
the maximum permissible speed above which the generator is likely to damage or may cause circuit to fail.
What is an electrosurgical generator?
An electrosurgical generator is a piece of medical equipment. The generator takes mains AC current and turns it into radio frequency (>100Khz) AC current. This current can then be used to cause a tissue effect in a patient (i.e. cutting, coagulation, fulguration).
How does an electric generator work?
Converts mechanical energy into electricity. Movement of magnetic field across a conductor will cause electron flow. The windings of a generator are rotated within a magnetic field.
What is governor function in the generator?
The governor controls the speed of the power source rotating the generator. This has to be continually adjusted to match the load on the generator. As more load is switched on, the generator becomes harder to turn, this would cause the generator to slow down, unless the power unit is adjusted to increase power and correct the speed.
Would a defective battery cause your car to not accelerate?
no
What would cause the battery to overcharge?
Defective voltage regulator.
What is cause of headlamps going dim while driving a 99 mustang?
* Voltage Regulator * Defective Battery * Dirty Battery Post Connections * Alternator/Generator problems
What would cause my1985 Dodge Ram overcharge?
defective voltage regulator
What is difference between main engine governor and generator governor?
the one of the difference in generator governor is having speed drop setting. this setting is used to maintain the speed when the genrator runs parralel and especially during the time of load sharing. a small fall in the rpm occurs. if this is considered the genrator will run under the motoring effect and cause black out.to avoid this we have droop speed setting in the gen governor.
What would cause a Toyota Camry to only blow on high?
The blower motor resistor is defective.
What would cause a car alarm to go off randomly?
Thunder, rain, or defective sensor
What would cause your oil light to malfunction?
Defective oil sending unit, blown bulb.
What would cause your s10 blazer to lose power after warming up?
A defective catalytic converter can do that.
What would cause gas generator to run very hot?
well, since its a gas generator, my guess is that its powered by farts, so farts would make it very hot.
What would cause high erratic idle in 2003 Nissan Frontier 2.4?
This idle problem is caused by a dirty or defective throttle motor/body. It also quite possible that a defective temp sensor is the cause. Good luck.
