Q:I am looking for the stand by large generator 15-20kw (to use all the power on one transfer switch). The problem is that stand by generator require large propane tanks (expensive to install). I would like to find a stand by generator that i could run off gasoline and use all of it available power. I think this would the most economical solution. In case of propane/natural gas the cost of propane tank installation is significant. The diesel stand by generators are significantly more expensive. So far I have found tri-fuel13kw portable generator that has several outlets. In this case not all the power can be utilized.

Q:A couple years ago the power in our area was out for two whole weeks because of ice and such, we stayed warm thanks to gas heating but now I'm in an all electric mobile home in the same area. All I want to power is the refrigerator, deep freeze, microwave, one laptop and at least one, maybe two little plug in heaters.I need to know what size/type generator to get and if I need a separate kit or anything in order to hook up to my mobile home. I don't want to buy the wrong type or size and find out it doesn't work in the middle of an ice storm again.Thank you for any and all help, it's very much appreciated.

Total the wattage of All of the devices you want on the generator. Typical heater is about 1500 watts, a microwave about 900, the freezer and the refrigerator about 1500 or 1800 watts each, totals to about 4500 watts. If you get a gas generator which is the least expensive type then a unit 1.5 times the total is the smallest you should choose for a typical run item these will probably be rated about 7500 watts peak. Any smaller and you risk brownouts that will destroy the equipment you are trying to operate. A 10% cushion is just too small for these smaller units. If you choose a more expensive diesel powered unit it is safer at the 7500 watts, if you choose natural gas or propane then it must be double the computed wattage.

Q:Do they look any different? I can not see the difference and I do not know which trains are electric and which ones are diesel. If there is any difference in appearance, what is the difference?

First off, all trains are electric, the only reason there is a diesel engine is to run a huge generator that supplies electricity for locomotive. but in a straight electric, first you would notice it is quiet and smoke free, no diesel egnines running. Second it has to have a way of getting electrictity to the motors while on the move, the most common and effective way is with overhead wires, the track will have lines directly over the center, and th elocomotives will have a device mounted on top that pushes gently upwards against the wires to conduct the electricity down into the control compartment of the locomotive. Look for the overhead device on top of the locomotive, very easy to spot.

Q:And this person said it also all depends on what PLANT the stuff came from. No wonder the asian kids are ahead of us.

If it's a diesel generator, why could it not run on BioDiesel? Not sure about the plant part, but provided it's not unleaded, I see no reason to not consider Bio as an option.

Hello okorder

Q:hi i have problem in my kipor diesel generator kde 6700ta 5kvathe problem is that when i start it then its voltage reduce from 230volts to 186 volts and so on what is the problem plz tell me i live in backward area here is no expert in these generators.

When I starts my gen.it works okk after so minute it stop by itselfI waited I start it again after some minutes it goes offand av just change the oil.what could av happened

Q:How are the mobile trucks like those used to broadcast sports events built? Where are the cameras, microphones, and wires stowed when the truck is not in use? How long does it take the crews to set up a sports venue for broadcast? What are the crew's jobs during the game? How many different rooms/areas do the trucks have?

i recently offered an HDTV and am very happy with it. the image and sound are astounding, offering you're fairly watching something broadcast in HDTV format. I put in a Band Of Brothers DVD and the infants concept a conflict replaced into fairly happening in the front room. while you're finding at a usually happening channel, the intense definition brings out greater of the grainy high quality of the sign. that's the only disadvantage I fairly have got here across so far. What i found as the thank you to shrink that's working greater advantageous than one cable to the inputs on the television. on the returned of your HDTV there will be an enter jack categorized HDMI. This stands for top Definition Multimedia Interface. this type of cable and enter is very deigned for the HD format. in simple terms below this on a scale of high quality could be S-Video, and then RCA (the pink, white and yellow cables we are all used to). i opt to propose using RCA cables to the television besides for the channels that are no longer broadcast in HDTV. So once you're watching and the channel you choose isn't what you chosen enter is, in simple terms hit the source or enter button to choose the enter that fits your desires on the time.

Q:I have been trying to research the specifics of utilidor functionality for nearly two weeks and have come up with hardly any information. What I'm wanting to know is, at certain access points of utilidors in artic areas, is there something above ground that powers the tunneling below like possibly a transformer or a generator? I know it seems unfeasible to have either one out in the open to be exposed to the elements but I still want to know. And also even if this isn't the case now, was it so when the tunnel systems were first made?

What the hell is a utildor?

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.

Q:hi i covered diesel motor with sheet metal and a guard needs to protect a person from accident.etchere is some info abt cover: it is ventilated. the box mounted securely over the motor. it has exposed belts it combustion(diesel engine) and it is located in cerro alto , guattemala, the voltage is 120v and its 12 hp and it is driving a corn grinding machine and its indoor.so help me plz thanks

Diesel exhaust can eliminate the oxygen in a room. Be sure the exhaust system doesn't leak into the room. Where is the intake coming from? Is there a separate duct for intake air or does the engine take air from the room. The exhaust pipe will be hot, and needs people protection. Exposed belts should have a guard so nothing can accidentally be caught or jammed into them. Is the cooling fan guarded or protected? Can the shut down switch/lever be quickly and easily operated. Is the fuel tank separate from the engine? Is there a fuel shutoff valve? Just some things to consider.
