Comments (0) Generators and Surge Protectors Surge Protection Standard surge protector passes the electrical current along from the outlet to a number of electrical and electronic devices plugged into the power strip. If the voltage from the outlet surges or spikes — rises above the accepted level — the surge protector diverts the extra electricity into the [...]
Diesel Fuel Consumption Approximate Fuel Consumption Chart This chart approximates the fuel consumption of a diesel generator based on the size of the generator and the load at which the generator is operating at. Please note that this table is intended to be used as an estimate of how much fuel a generator uses during [...]
How to Hide Your Generator Here is some great ideas of how to hide your generator. Not only does it help protect it it also helps to reduce noise. Do you have a photo of your own you can share with us? Please feel free to post it here. Comment are welcome.
How a AC Generator Works Electromagnetic Induction is the production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field. It is this same principle that your generator uses to produce electricity. The alternator part of your generator consists of two basic parts. The Stator [...]
Automatic Engine Control Modules or Generator Controllers are designed so you can manually or automatically start and stop the engine on your generator. Controllers also monitor for fault conditions and show operational status. Event, performance monitoring and controlling alarms or sending a remote signal to let you know the power has failed and the generator [...]
Interim Tier 4 Emissions Regulations for Generators The EPA’s mobile non-road requirements now apply to stationary applications. By Jennifer Oredson, Technical Writer Keeping apprised of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) complex diesel emissions regulations can be a challenge, but now that these requirements encompass not only mobile off-highway applications but also stationary applications, it’s [...]
Generators and Sensitive Electronics Inverter generators produce commercial-quality ac power. The Inverter generator power is often equal to what you have at home. The problem is they are very expensive, often are only 120 volts and are limited in power. There is also too much electronics and much more to go wrong with them. Non [...]
High Altitude Diesel Generator Use. Diesel engines work by compressing air with a piston to create heat necessary to ignite the fuel that is then directly injected into it. The hottest point is when the piston is at top dead center. Fuel injection happens at this point or slightly afterwards. The fuel bursts into flame [...]
Which is better, gas or diesel? It’s a question confronting more and more new generator buyer. Whether you opt for the more expensive diesel engine may hinge on your experience with diesel engines. Perhaps it will depend on your desire for performance. Or maybe your decision will be based largely on economics, but chances are [...]
Before you buy Standby Generators. Here are some tips that may help you decide what generator is right for you. Before you go out and buy a diesel standby generator, you’ll need to decide what equipment you want it to run. Some of the most common choices are refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, well pumps, sump [...]
Understand Your Generator Options Power generators have two main components. A motor that burns fuel to supply power and a generator head that turns power into electricity. Together, the motor and the generator head comprise a standard generator. Generators come in two basic designs: standby generators and portable generators. Portable generators: Portable generators provide power [...]
