why is my generator failing to stop - Knowledge Base | Power Continuity.
If your diesel generator won't stop running, first check if the breaker is jammed, the fuel pump is malfunctioning, or if the control panel has issues. Use the emergency stop button if necessary, and contact a local generator engineer for further investigation. Generator stop/start issues may arise from neglecting service recommendations or prolonged exposure to bad weather. For servicing, contact Power Continuity.
If your diesel聽generator won鈥檛 stop聽and just keeps running, FIRST check the following suggestions.
- If the breaker is jammed in the OPEN position, arrange for the MCCB to be serviced.
- Is the聽fuel pump聽forcing fuel through the generator without receiving a signal to stop? Check the electrical connection when safe to do so.
- Has the control panel stopped working? Look for loose wiring connections inside the panel, ensuring safety at all times.
- HIT the聽emergency STOP button. This will STOP the generator (unless someone has
disabled the connection).
Then as a priority, call a local聽generator engineer聽to investigate聽the issue.
A generator will only have stop/start issues if:
- you have ignored the manufacturer鈥檚聽service and maintenance聽recommendations, or
- you have allowed adverse weather conditions to affect the generator over a lengthy period of time.
It maybe time to service your generator.
