Hi all,
I have a 1.5Kw Honda Generator that has only done about 15 hours since new.
I bought it when we had no power for three days some 2 years ago.
It drove my little lathe or the Compressor or 1.8Kw angle grinder, but last time I used it it would not start the compressor, after 2 sec. or so the fuse blew, it starts the lathe, but the lathe runs about half speed and very rough. Out put measures 240V with a digital meter, with a moving coil meter and with my trusted Duspol (that puts a light load on). Looking with an oscilloscope, even the sinewave look ok, but has a slight harmonic (second weak visible sinwave).
It has on the rotor two diodes and I assumed that one of them was shot, replaced both nochange. Whil I had the thing apart, I also measured for short and dis and leakage. No fault found. Checked the stator electrically and cannot find a fault either.
It still driveds the angle grinder, but start up is slow, power the drilling machine is OK, revs on the angle grinder appear much too high. (guessing only by the time it takes to spin down, as the Honda is running I cannot rely on my ears).
The only component I cannot obtain is a new capacitor. I tried an old one, the values are no exact match, the genny runs rough even with no load.
The active components are only two diodes (about 6 - 8A and 600 - 800 V) and a capacitor.
Does anybody have any idea? Please it is no use telling me to go to soundso, I live at 22 south and 15 east and there are no people here to advice me. I need the thing to drive my lathe on board and for a lot of other things.
Thank you
regards ongolo
