Beacon Generator Repair - You Cannot Save Them All

Follow
James Condon

A subscriber sent this Beacon generator to me I think as a challenge. It is in bad condition. After sorting out the engine issues in part 1, I could see that the generator was not making power. I found damage on the power control board (PCB). The stator and rotor tested well so I sent the PCB out for repair. Upon installing the repaired board the generator made power, but the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) immediately blew out and the engine went under a heavy load. The board failed in the same way as I found it before sending it for repair. I tested the insulation at 1000 volts and did not find a fault. I am going try my luck one more time and get the PCB repaired again.
