There are many reasons why a generator should stop. If you are referring to a petrol (gasoline) generator, one reason is that it may be overloaded (i.e. its load draws too much current), causing the motor to stall.

If a generator capacitor fails will it no longer produce electricity?

No, a generator capacitor failing will not stop electricity production entirely, but it may result in fluctuations in voltage output or cause the generator to stop functioning properly. It's advisable to have the capacitor replaced to ensure the generator operates efficiently.

Incomplete combustion which will affect the efficiency of generator, and this can be rectified by proper servicing.


What would happen if the coils in a generator stopped spinning?

If the coils in a generator stop spinning, there would be no change in the magnetic flux passing through them, and thus no induced current would be generated. This means the generator would stop producing electrical energy.


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 happens at the rated value of the voltage of the generator?
