Frequently Asked Questions - Leroy Somer R120 AVR
Q: How do I know if my R120 voltage regulator needs replacement?
A: Common symptoms of AVR failure include unstable voltage output, voltage readings significantly higher or lower than rated output, failure to build voltage when the generator starts, or visible damage to the regulator such as burned components or loose connections. If your generator exhibits voltage fluctuations under load or won't produce power despite the engine running properly, the R120 AVR may need replacement. Always test with a multimeter and inspect wiring connections before replacing the voltage regulator.
Q: Is this R120 an original Leroy Somer part or an aftermarket replacement?
A: The R120 voltage regulator sold by General Power is a 100% genuine, original Leroy Somer product manufactured in France. We do not sell aftermarket copies or remanufactured units. Each R120 AVR comes in original Leroy Somer packaging and includes the manufacturer's warranty. Genuine OEM parts ensure proper fit, reliable performance, and compatibility with your Leroy Somer alternator.
Q: Can I install the R120 AVR myself, or do I need a professional technician?
A: While the R120 installation process is straightforward for those with electrical experience, we recommend professional installation by a qualified generator technician. Working with generator electrical systems requires proper safety procedures, knowledge of wiring configurations, and the ability to test and adjust voltage output. Improper installation can damage the AVR, alternator, or connected equipment. If you have electrical experience and follow proper safety protocols, self-installation is possible with the alternator's technical manual.
Q: How long does the R120 voltage regulator typically last?
A: The service life of an R120 AVR depends on operating conditions, maintenance practices, and environmental factors. Under normal operating conditions with proper maintenance, a Leroy Somer R120 voltage regulator can provide many years of reliable service. Factors that affect lifespan include operating temperature, humidity, voltage spikes, load cycling, and overall generator maintenance. Regular inspections and keeping connections clean and tight will maximize the service life of your voltage regulator.
Q: What is your return policy if the R120 doesn't fit my alternator?
A: General Power stands behind every sale with a customer-friendly return policy. If you receive an R120 AVR that is not compatible with your alternator due to ordering the wrong part, we accept returns of unused, unopened items in original packaging within our specified return window. Before ordering, we encourage you to verify your alternator model number or contact our technical support team to confirm compatibility. This ensures you receive the correct voltage regulator for your specific application and avoids unnecessary returns or delays.
