The generator may not be starting due to issues such as a dead battery, fuel problems, a faulty starter motor, or electrical issues. It is important to troubleshoot these potential problems to determine the exact cause of the generator not starting.

How does the starting of synchronous motor using dc generator as a load work-?

Starting of the synchronous motor using the DC generator creates a magnetic field.


How does the generator pull cord work and what is its purpose in starting a generator?

The generator pull cord is used to start the generator by manually turning the engine. When the cord is pulled, it rotates the engine's crankshaft, which initiates the combustion process and starts the generator. The purpose of the pull cord is to provide a simple and reliable method for starting the generator when there is no electric starter available.


Why should the generator field rheostat be kept to its maximum at starting?

Keeping the generator field rheostat at its maximum at starting helps to establish a strong magnetic field in the generator, which is essential for generating sufficient voltage to initiate the generation process. This ensures a smooth and stable startup of the generator.


What does the capacitor in a generator do?

The capacitors in a generator is to store energy produced. They are also needed when starting the generator as a considerable amount of extra power is needed at this time.


What is separately-excited generator?

in a separately excited generator the field coils are excited from a separate source like a dc battery may be or any other small generator. They are self starting generators.

Reasons why a 5500 watt generator will not run a well pump?

It could be a number of things. Your pump's operating voltage could be 240 volts and your generator's output is only 120 volts. The generators output voltage can be found on the generator's nameplate. The horse power size of your pump could be too big for your generator. When dealing with motors remember that when a motor starts its inrush could be 300% of the full load amps. To see if this is happening, take the full load amps and multiply it by 3. Then multiply that number by the voltage that the pump runs on. This number will be the starting watts of the pump. If this number is higher than that of your generator and the generator almost comes to a stop when the load is applied,then the generator is too small.

How much does a used generator cost>?

The prices will vary depending on what size generator you need. If you are looking for one for the whole house, probably starting at 300 or 400 easily.


Why does your generator only run when you spray starting fluid in it?

The generator may have a problem with fuel delivery, such as a clogged fuel filter or a weak fuel pump. By using starting fluid, you are providing an external ignition source that helps the engine start even if there is an issue with fuel delivery. It is recommended to have a professional inspect and repair the fuel system to ensure proper functioning of the generator.


Is there such thing as a sump pump connected to a generator?

Yes, a sump pump can be connected to a generator to make it operate. Keep in mind that the starting current of the pump motor could be 300% of the running current and the sizing of the generator should take this into account. If you are looking for the sump pump using a mechanical connection it will connect to the engine and not to the generator.


Why is the field rheostat of a DC motor kept at minimum position while starting?

If you are talking about the field rheostat on a generator, once you have the correct voltage output set, it is very unlikely that it has to be touched again. If it is the generator's first start up, then it is best to set the field on the low side so as not to over excite the generator and drive the output voltage higher that what the generator's specifications are rated at. The field excitation voltage does not have to be set at the minimum position on every start up once it is set for the correct output voltage. A good example of this is a hospital standby generator, it starts up with no human intervention needed.
