I have a off grid shop running in a Kubota kj13 diesel generator, 12.5 kwn1800rpm diesel machine. Problem is with a dead short the breakers are not tripping. I had a wire heat up and short at a Romex staple when I wasn't paying attention a few days back, the gen puffed some black smoke then stopped putting out power. Hopefully not to much damage i brought it to a repair shop. Just can't figure out why the breakers wouldn't trip? The gen has a built in breaker and the building has sub panel with properly sized breakers for the wiring? What gives aren't breakers there for this exact purpose?
