Restoring electrical power output from a running generator that has stopped producing electricity requires troubleshooting its AC circuit breakers and residual magnetism. First, unplug all extension cords and appliances from the receptacle panel to relieve any overload condition. Second, locate the main thermal-magnetic circuit breaker switch on the control panel, push it firmly past the "Tripped" or "Off" position to reset the internal latch, and flip it back to "On." Third, if the alternator has lost its residual electrical charge (a condition known as losing magnetism), you may need to flash the field. You can troubleshoot generator power safety safely by keeping hands dry and standing on a rubber mat. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when plugging in a test lamp confirms that stable 120-volt AC power has returned to the receptacles without tripping the breaker again.
