Hi all,
Took apart my alternator from my generator, (diesel powered, 6KVA) to replace the bearings.
All went well, but I now have to momentarily "field flash" with a battery as it won't self excite/bootstrap.
Never had a problem before, it would always self-excite.
Rotor was separated from stator for the bearing change. Have run it several times at ~20% load for a few hours, no difference.
any ideas?
