#PRObeLogue! Generator No. 2 Exciter Voltage Abnormal? | Load Sharing Problem Starts Here [Part 1]

#PRObeLogue! Generator No. 2 Exciter Voltage Abnormal [Part 1] 🎯 Voltage Too Low. Load Sharing Not Stable. What’s the Real Cause? #ProbeLem #ElectricalTroubleshooting #PRObingRightIntoTheProblem In this first episode of a 3-part PRObe series, we’re onboard and underway — troubleshooting Generator No. 2, which is showing abnormal exciter voltage readings and erratic reactive load sharing in split busbar operation. 💡 Could it be the auxiliary exciter winding? A faulty AVR input? Or something deeper in the generator excitation system? Let’s PRObe into the system dynamics: 🛠 In this video you’ll see: Active and reactive load hunting on dynamic trend graphs How to replicate the issue using heavy loads Step-by-step checks on speed, AVR input, and excitation voltage Early signs pointing to auxiliary excitation (G3) issues 📺 Watch the full series here: Part 2: Optimizing Voltage Regulation    • #PRObed! Generator No. 2 Exciter Fault | L...   Part 3: Reactive Load Sharing FIXED!    • #PRObed! Generator No. 2 Excitation FIXED ...   ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 🧠 ProbeLogue – Generator Hunting & Load Issue 04:06 🔍 Walkthrough Start 04:25 1️⃣ Checking Rated Speed (1200rpm) 04:56 2️⃣ Checking Auxiliary Exciter Voltage (G3) – 29.59V AC (Abnormal!) 05:47 3️⃣ Checking Exciter Winding Voltage (G2) – Low Output 📢 Question of the Video: What’s your diagnosis for this abnormal excitation reading?
