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:I am installing a 7,7 KW diesel 110v generator on my boat. I need to know the main breaker disconnect size in amps

Is the 7.7 KW mechanical or electrical? If you have 7.7 KW electrical, I will assume you will be delivering 2 legs at 120 V and -120V; 7700 watts/240 v 32 amps so I believe the main breakers should be 32 amp each approximately.

Q:I want to buy 5000kva diesel generators from the manufactuerer?

contact them then not us

Q:i means what's happen in diesel generator while just switch on ?

I am trying to figure out what you are asking? Step 1 is guess is to press start? What are you looking for? One last guess,, did it start?

Q:if a diesel generator(say of negligible mass) is used to power an electric car powered by an electirc motor how efficient will it be when compared to a car that uses an i.c engine thats uses diesel directly?

This Site Might Help You. RE: how efficient are diesel generators?pls read more below.? if a diesel generator(say of negligible mass) is used to power an electric car powered by an electirc motor how efficient will it be when compared to a car that uses an i.c engine thats uses diesel directly?

Q:i have 45 kva Perkins diesel generator cranks, battery is ok,does anybody know why the engine doesn't start?every think looks clear!!!please help!!!

Diesel cranks but doesn't start. All that's left is the fuel system. Is there a pre-heat unit? Is it working? Pressure at the injectors?

Q:Generator prices? Diesel generator prices?

but also due to market demand, weather, government control and other factors.

Q:I am leaving a career as an aviation electrician after 23 years and have applied for a job as a diesel locomotive electrician with Union Pacific. I was notified about a skills test and was hoping to brush up a bit before the test. Which areas should I focus on studying? Also what can I expect on a day to day basis working in this field? And lastly, although I can troubleshoot and wire a jumbo liner in my sleep I don't have specific experience with large generators and motors. How will this affect me in the hiring process. Thanks in advance for any help.

I apologize for not being able to give you specifics but from past experience I can guess it will not be anything specifically about locomotives, just general electrical principals. Railroads expect you to need training, as long as you are currently working in an electrical field, have good work record, and are drug free they will provide all the specific on the job training you need. Good Luck!

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?

Utilidors is an acronym for Utility Corridors. This may be a tunnel system that contains all the necessary utilities to support a community, business of some other area needing electric, gas, water, sewer, communications, etc. These are found both above and below ground level depending on environmental concerns, costs, etc. The generators and transformers used to supply various points along the corridor and may be located above or below ground depending on design. A UG designed transformer for instance could be used below ground. A generator needs to be driven by something, gas engine, turbine, diesel engine, etc. these may be located below ground but it will have to have an external exhaust port somewhere. Hope this helps, Newton1Law

Q:I have to calculate the fuel consumption of a diesel generator given its HP or KVA

Go to some diesel engine websites. They should have the fuel consumption in terms of brake horsepower hours.
