I am currently working on a site that has a brand new stamford generator that has yet to be hooked to power when the generator was purchased from the manufacturer it came with the test sheet saying it has been properly load tested and we brought it to site and started it a few times and it worked fine (with no load) then we moved it to its location (on the top of a building ) and we fired it up and blew the avr. We then got a certified generator mechanic to come out to effect repairs. He tested the generator with no avr which brought it up to 40 volts then using a 12 volt battery we brought the current up to 218 volts and we also use a 9 volt and got 170volts all connections where checked including the resistance which was 18 ohms. then we put in the new avr and it worked fine started it stopped it without an issue. the next day fired it up and pop goes the avr and again we rip the thing apart trying to find a problem do all the checks again everything is fine so we decided instead of getting this thing off the roof and shipping it for repairs we would try another avr and it worked on, off, on ,off still no load or hooked to anything then the next day pop goes the avr. Cranes coming to get it off the roof next week anybody that can help before then with a solution. Would have my thanks.
sorry for the bad grammer and a wall of text :)
