#2 - VISUAL / MULTI-METER CHECKS
CHECK B – Fuse
(Fuse)
Visual inspection:
-
Check that the fuse is not broken or
blown.
-
Check that the fuse holder blades
are tightly in place around fuse
terminals A and B.
-
Check whether there is any resin
and/or dirt between the fuse holder
and the fuse terminals.
Multi-meter check:
1- Remove the fuse from the fuse
holder.
2- Select the resistance measurement
mode on the multi-meter.
3- Connect the multi-meter probes to
pins A and B of the fuse and check
that the measured resistance is <
1Ω. If it is not, the fuse has to be replaced.
Check result:
-
If the result of all the above checks has been positive, tick the ok box in section #2 of the report
form, Check B.
Otherwise leave the box blank.
In case of component failure:
Possible effects on regulation:
-
The alternator output voltage is lower than the rated voltage and equal to the residual one.
You cannot set the proper value using the VOLT trimmer.
Possible failure causes:
-
Mechanical damage due to impact/shock.
-
Presence of resin on the fuse terminals and/or on the fuse holder blades.
-
Not enough contact between the fuse and the fuse-holder.
-
Improper connection.
-
Exciter failure: check the insulation of the exciter with a megaohmmeter (insulation is appropriate if
resistance is >30MΩ).
-
Short circuit between terminals + and -.
Actions:
-
Replace the fuse and try restarting the alternator.
In case of any further fuse failure, replace the AVR.
