 Posted: Sat Sep 01, 2012 1:27 pm Post subject: O.T. - AC 'Generator' Basics |
  |
|
Since many of us have back-up generators for the home & shop, and some collect and/or repair Gen-sets, I thought that an article I found might be of interest. I posted it on my blog at: http://everythingengines.wordpress.com/
Note: The article covers the basics. It is not an advanced discussion of design, controls, etc.
A small (6 KW) generator that I worlked on recently had two diodes mounted on the rotating armature that spins at 3600 RPM.
Interesting design to say the least.

Propane, natural gas, diesal, or gasoline?

Are you in a cold climate?
The reason I ask is that a friend of mine told me that the propane and natural gas "carbs" can be a problem in very cold weather, BUT his point of reference is farm tractors from 10-20 years ago.
