If this instruction manual is not followed and power consumption is too high, or if
there is a short circuit in an appliance the fuse in the electronic load controller will
break. This will stop the electric current. It is important to replace this fuse with
another of the same size (see Technical Specifications below). If the fuse breaks and
an oversize fuse is inserted then the generator windings may be damaged in the future.
If that happens the generator will need rewiring by an experienced motor rewinder.
3. Voltage is 220V under zero-load conditions but falls when a load is applied.
Excessive load has been applied. Reduce the load consumption to see if voltage
stabilizes and if not have the control box examined by a competent electrician.
4. Testing in the stream showed that PowerPal was capable of producing the rated
output power (4.7kW to 16kW, depending on model). However, after running the
electrical cable to the house this output power was found to be less.
Due to resistance from the cable, long cable runs will result in a small loss of output
power. Power loss over a 100m cable run is approximately 10W. For log wire runs it
is possible to increase the cable diameter.
5. Power output has been falling recently.
Falling output suggests that the turbine is rotating more slowly than usual. Make sure
that the enough water is entering the forebay and ensure that the source river is
adequate for the flow being consumed. Otherwise, check the forebay and penstock
filter and clean if necessary. Also check that the inside of the turbine casing is free of
leaves and other debris and that the turbine bearing has enough grease.
