Big negative there, they made absolutely no mention of engine/stator/rotor failure, only failure recorded during the test WAS the love joint, because it is a mechanical protection designed to do EXACTLY this. outside of destroying that, or possibly turning off some type of secondary cooling system, it isn't going to do a damn thing to it. Been there, worked on field power plants just like this one, you could shoot the damn things with a 50. and they will still most likely keep kicking until it throws a rod from lack of oil, but then again, a transducer that is used in EVERY single engine is hard wired using D.C. into their fault relay/protection circuit.

Just about every single plant has a team of on call technicians in the united states. Consider how quickly our infrastructure gets repaired after storms. Its NOT that big of a deal. Electricians Quick Facts: Electricians On-the-job Training Apprenticeship Number of Jobs, 2019 739,200 Job Outlook, 2019-29 8% (Much faster than average) Employment Change, 2019-29 62,200 Just saying. Thats just last years projections on the staffing of junior tech's.

Alright so here is the reality of the situation. Yes the magnetic pickup signal was most likely altered for the governor on the engine unit with the code. THE MECHANICAL PROTECTION THAT HE SPOKE OF AND REFERRED TO AS THE RUBBER GROMMET WAS LITERALLY FUCKING DESIGNED TO DO EXACTLY WHAT IT DID. Its called a love joint, and in every single generator produced in the united states above 15KWH has one of these. Personally replaced hundreds of them in multiple generator sets. Made the account just to discredit this absolute idiocy. Effective? Sure, on the short term. But a small team of technicians can repair and replace this in less than a few hours with the proper equipment.
