Hi folks, I have a problem with one of my alt' which hopefully one of the experts on the forum can help me with.
I have twin 70A alt's on a Izuzu engine with an adverc controller, onto a start battery and 4 x 125Ah battery domestic bank.
The aux warning light on my instrument panel is glowing.
When I put a meter from the B+ to ground and then the D+ to ground on my port alt' both show the same volt (circa 15v)
when I do the same for the s/b alt' the B+ shows the same volts as the port alt' (circa 15V) but the D+ which feeds one side of the warning lamp is showing 19V which is I
assume why the warning lamp is glowing. I guess this means I have an internal fault with this alt' and it will need to be removed for testing/fixing. Is my guess correct?
Will I damage anything by running the engine and still charging the battery banks until I remove the s/b alt'?
Thanks to anyone who has the time to reply.
Regards
