Like many things mechanical, the end user tends to know very little about the maintenance or repair of an electric generator. While not as complex as an automobile they are still difficult machines to comprehend. Overall there are two major systems involved. You have an engine which drives the device and the generator which creates the electricity. Each of these major components require different expertise for proper repair. This expertise is not taught in the owners manual which is usually a booklet written for a specific device but is learned through time and experience and research.
The engines which drive these devices are generally internal combustion motors as many generators are designed to be portable or used spontaneously on demand. Smaller versions tend to burn gasoline where larger devices use diesel but propane varieties are available. No matter what the engine type they require a qualified mechanic to ensure they are properly maintained and when they require it, repaired. This is not the usual shade tree mechanic’s level of expertise but Generator Repair can provide the people you need to do the job right.
At the other end is the electrical generator. This device is sort of an electric motor in reverse. This however is the simple description as the more complex involves defining the electric output and the components involved with generating and controlling that output. For the repairman this is the more dangerous area to work. Depending on the generator the electric voltages will vary but in most circumstances are dangerous and often deadly.
