What are the reasons why a gasoline generator fails to generate electricity?

Reasons why a gasoline generator fails to generate electricity: Failure to operate as required: The generator is not operating under the specified technical conditions, such as excessively high stator voltage, which increases iron loss, or excessive load current. The monitoring instruments should be checked to see if their readings are normal. If not, necessary adjustments and corrective measures should be taken to ensure the generator operates under the specified technical conditions. Unbalanced load current: If the three-phase load current of the generator is unbalanced, the overloaded phase winding will overheat. If the difference between the three-phase currents exceeds 10% of the rated current, it is considered a severe phase current imbalance. An unbalanced three-phase current generates a negative-sequence magnetic field, increasing losses and causing heating in components such as the pole windings and retaining rings. The three-phase load should be adjusted to balance the currents as much as possible. Blocked air ducts: Dust accumulation in the air ducts obstructs ventilation, making it difficult for the generator to dissipate heat. The dust and oil deposits in the air ducts should be cleaned to ensure unobstructed airflow.
