Q:I was also wondering what you but in them for them to work (gas, electricity etc.)

Well just like electricity entering your house from the power company, the power from The power from your gas generator is the same thing. How much you run the generator is the same as running your light Or treadmill. However since power from the company is more steady and subsides, it's cheaper to be on the grid than to generate your own electricity especially with today's high gas prices.

Q:Did some searching, and found little other than single, model specific, manuals (either paper or on CD). The paper manuals are $50-60 each. Single model PDF manuals on CD are about $20.Does anyone know if a comprehensive set of shop service manuals is even available for Yamaha Portable Generators? (gas and diesel) I don't mind paying, but I don't want just ONE manual, I want 'em all. That way I don't have to go through this again when a different model Yamaha comes into my shop. TIA for any help!:-) ?

floor directly to the physique, and run your cord to a robust earth floor. those areas are obtainable at your community electric supply that sells living house-wiring factors, you will want a floor rod, clamp, and a few sturdy copper cord.

Q:I would like to find out if a product exists which permits remotely using a mechanical switch to power cycle a diesel generator. Maybe one that has an IP which I could connect to or uses RF. Literally just turn on/off the power without interacting with it physically.

Should be doable, except I can see a problem - How will you know if the thing started or not ??

Q:I was wondering if you guys know where to find an electrical generator that does not come with an engine. For example, I have found diesal generators that use diesal fuel to create current. I need something that can create current, but doesn't come with any mechanical input.I basically need an alternator that can produce power on the 30 kilowatt level.

your generator just needs to have the valves cleaned and maybe adjusted, gennies run at an even pace for a long time which builds up soot in the valves,,allowing to much air in ,, or the valves may need adjusting which would cause the same thing,,,

Q:I want to calculate the Genset load of following 3 phase, 50 C/s, 400/ 440 volts electric motors coupled with Water pumps.60 HP x 4 Nos. + 100 HP x 3 Nos. + 225 HP x 3 Nos.What is the method for calculating the safest load for all these motors to run simultaneously.

You are after capacity of the generator not load. You add up all the power required: 240 HP + 300 HP + 675 HP 1215 HP 1 HP 746 W Power required 906.39 kW You take this figure in consideration to choose your set allowing for efficiency and power factor.

Q:and diesel generator and ATS that switches between two electrical sources ??

There may be no difference. It will depend on the application. For example, if I specified an ATS that had the proper voltage and current capacities, the only other item of concern would be to determine if the transfer would be a make before break or a break before make type of transfer. In a make before break, it would mean the sources would be placed into parallel operating condition before one of the sources was interrupted. This would require the ability to synchronize the sources. Which means the frequency, voltage and phase relationship of the sources must match before they are placed into parallel service. On a break before make switch, usually only phase rotation and approximate voltage levels are of concern. Hope this helps, Newton1Law

Q:I want to be able to plug my APC Smart-UPS RT 8000VA 208V into a diesel generator when our power will be down for an extended period of time. The max OUTPUT of the APC unit is 6400w. Does that mean I need at least a 6400w Generator?

Your problem is not that simple. Average generator is either 220 or 110 volts or three phase. If three phase, you have to know weather delta or wye connection. You are talking about a leg of a 440 volt 3 phase. Not totally familiar with voltages between phases or one phase to neutral. Cheapest is to get a 220 volt generator and a buck/ boost transformer to convert the 220 to 208. Since your ups output is 6400 watts, power your application directly with a generator that will power your buck/boost transformer with at least 6000 watts. 7-8000 watts is a better guess. Or I assume that you want to use the UPS to give perfect waveform to whatever you are powering. In that case --- you will need to use the buck boost transformer after a generator that gives 220 volts at least 9000 watts.

Q:i would like to get the machine that is at least 2000 0r 3000 kw

waw. That's a lot of energy for just a house. You got to be kidding me. okay, you can find diesel generator if you like, but you need to keep storage of diesel enough for it.

Q:Im building a new house, and I would like to go totally off the grid in South-Central Oklahoma.Id like to be able to run the tv, freezer, refrigerator, and minimal lights and water well.Im looking for information on a complete system.Any ideas/? Im looking for the pros and cons of this way of life from homeowners that have actually done this.

photo voltaic is the most uncomplicated thanks to bypass. the most inexpensive is small hydro, yet you go with a always flowing bypass or artesian properly. We run our residing house lights, pcs, leisure center, and an ability-celeb refrigerator on 800 watts of photo voltaic panel with 10 deep-discharge marine batteries for storage. undesirable climate ability I quite might want to apply a generator about 10 days a 365 days to correct up the batteries, used 15 gallons of gas very last 365 days. I plan on including yet another four hundred watts of panel and six extra batteries when I get a freezer later this 365 days. The generator is likewise sensible to run a welder and a table observed that take extra ability than my 2500watt inverter can placed out. universal, I quite have extra solid ability than my grid-depending acquaintances 2 miles down the line. in the adventure that your properly is windmill-pumped, keep on with it. we would want to haul water immediately, use a propane tankless heater gadget for showers. at the same time as the properly is for sale in we will be doing photo voltaic water heating. Many states have photo voltaic ability rebate courses, the feds actually have ability rebate and loose insulation courses. construction insulation is truly major in conserving heating criteria down. the nearest application organisation for your area would have information in case you are able to't turn it up in a Google seek for.

Q:Electrical Power Generator, Capable of using JP-8 fuel.

1 IS DIESEL THE OTHER IS PJ-8 FUEL
