Q:I am currently looking for a gas powered generator that I will need to run for 24 hours a day. Which ones would be most reliable for me? Also not trying to spend a ton of money.

Any generator that is suitable for continuous operation will seem very pricey. If you pretend that each dollar weighs a pound, such a generator will cost a lot more than a ton of money. It will also run on either diesel or natural gas, not gasoline. Contact Generac, Caterpillar, and other generator manufacturers for information.

Q:If electric vehicles included a generator they could charge the battery while moving. It seems the best choice to me.

Because a generator runs on gas. And they do have regenerating chargers while the car is moving. They just are not a typical generator

Q:How much power does the generator from the diesel need to produce in order to bring the train up to running speed?

I'll add to what Rango said here. It really does depend on the locomotive. It depends on the train too, as well as the terrain. It's a careful manipulation of the throttle sometimes. There are times where a train of empties will follow you around with no problem. And sometimes in those cases you have to watch the amp guage because the amps can creep up on you and you gain unwanted speed. This may be in throttle positions 2, 3, or 4. Then there's times when you may have 100 plus loads, and one of your three engines had to be shut down for mechanical problems. Then you wish there was something you could do just to squeeze out a few dozen extra amps while in number 8 position. One engine I really miss is the old SD-9. That was the engine I learned on even though it was older than me. It held on to the track very well, could pull all day long with no maximum amperage load times, and allowed you to feel what the train was doing as if you had your hands on it.

Q:i have a 7.5 onam diesel generator that runs for 15 min and shuts down i get a code 33 (overheating)I change coolant,cap and thermostat also checked air flow Still no luck.any ideas anyone

If it has a waterpump you might need to change that.

Q:i want to buy a generator for our company i want to know how to calculate current for 1000kva capacity generator. and also want to know control and protection are required for the same generator please explain.

OK - You have elaborated - At that voltage you will have about 2400 Amperes. I P/E You have a generator putting out about 1 million watts. Divide that by the voltage and you get the usable amperes at rated voltage. Drop that to 380 3 phase Y would transformer. With loss through this you will have about 2352 amps. But the voltage has dropped from 415 to 380 so the amperes will go up. You will have about 2500 amps available at the output side of the transformer. Remember this is TOTAL amperes across all 3 legs of the windings. Remember that The Power is ALWAYS equal to the VOltage X the Amperage. If one goes up the other goes down. That will NOT change. Transformers are 98% efficient so you must calculate the initial loss through the primary transformet before you calculate the oiwer available for your main buss. If you have 1000 KVA before the transformer you will have 980 KVA at the out side. At 380 V, 3 phase you will have 2578 Amps. 980,000VA/380V 2578.94A OK So far? For safety you have to derate the system by 20% to prevent overload and burnout of the Generator or transformer. you have 2000 amps at 380 volts. That is on your main buss in the master control panel. You have a master breaker there feeling smaller buss lines. On each of these is one breaker per machine OR you can take sub feeder lines to sub panels throughout the factory. From these sub panels you can distribute 3 phase for motors and secondary panels for 110 or 200 single phase for lighting and hand tools. This is so complex and I want to tell you so much. How about I go there and do it.

Q:for electricity

If you are going to use a small generator, natural gas will be likely to cost less than diesel; but I still think buying from PGE will cost less. Possible exception: You need power in the middle of nowhere, for a short time, and PGE will charge lots of money to run a line and new transformer to the location. (In this case, you still may wish to *rent* the generator)

Q:Diesel generator sets which good?

if you want to buy a set of unit, it must choose their OEM manufacturers, with their authorization, agree with the above brand t

Q:I just purchased a miller big blue 400D diesel dc welder generator . I will be using 7018 rods. There are two controls on this unit, amps and volts, for best welding results, what is the best setting? I understand that metal thickness will change this this, but I' ll be starting on 1/4 plate. Any help will be appreciated.

practice!

Q:For 100Kw generator, what will be minimum/ maximum loadfor its safe operation.

The maximum load will be given by the exhaust temperature, regardless of the nameplate rating. There is a maximum steady state temperature, which can be exceeded for short periods, say, 10 to 20 %, given by the engine mfr. The minimum load for an engine which runs at constant speed, i.e., a power generator, is about 50%. Below that it starts to shake dangerously. . .

Q:1 want know exactly defrences between heavy duty and continuous diesel generator sets? for examle for 1250 kva diesel generator, the defrences between their speeds and injection power of 2 kind of diesel generator. heavy and continuous duty.thanks

you could adjust the frequency to 50HZ with the aid of working the generator at a velocity decrease than 1800rpm., it incredibly is 1500 rpm. At this velocity verify the terminal voltage. The voltage could nicely be adjusted to 380 volts applying the potentiometer adjustment on the generator panel. The 220 volts could nicely be gained with the aid of applying a parallel connection assuming that the generator is wye related. incredibly, the voltage of 380 volts to independent is 219.39 volts, that's approximately 220 volts. subsequently, you won't could desire to reconnect the generator terminals. the adaptation in P.F. won't count lots.
