Portable Home Generator, Fried.

04/12/2017 9:18 PM

My portable home generator was plugged into the local utility line after a storm knocked out our power. The generator was not in operation, at the time power was restored. AC current fed directly into my alternator on my portable home generator. Now it won't generate electricity. I have replaced the rectifier. I have replaced the circut breaker. What else might be the most likely problem? Stator wiring "looks" clean. Unburnt. What other parts might I test? Or replace? Thank you .

Sounds like it's FUBAR.

<...replace...>

Keep going on that until it works, including the possibility of getting a new one. After all, the rest of the forum cannot see it, wasn't there when it happened, and doesn't have access to it with sufficient test gear to un-FUBAR it.
