    3 Phase to Single Phase Step Down Transformers

    If thats what you feel you need to be comfortable. Just making sure you are aware of all the variables involved. Underload wetstacking, fuel consumption etc. Granted my setup is oversized (it is what was available at the time) I know im gonna burn at least a gallon an hour and every big outage I...

    3 Phase to Single Phase Step Down Transformers

    I've spent 20 years everywhere from electrical to engineering 24 volt to 32kv. I see them all the time, a properly gendered inlet cord is easy and so much safer. Following a set of rules is known as an administrative control, these are the least preferred solutions as they are easy to defeat. I...

    3 Phase to Single Phase Step Down Transformers

    Name of the game is load balance. Do you really think you'll have everything running at once? You can go smaller unless you think you'll be cooking Thanksgiving dinner while showering while someone's making coffee and microwaving a burrito. The other thing to think of is wetstack due to...

    Gonna come down to how much you wanna spend and how much power you want. The more power you want the more it will cost Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    You can make single especially if you can tap to a low zigzag. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-016B Story Time

    I once rebuilt a starter for my forklift, (obsolete, no brushes available) made my own parts. The relevant experience here is I got the brush poles backwards which is very effective in making a clockwise starter an anticlockwuse starter. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-806a voltage fluctuating

    You could have a pot going wonky. They get corrosion. What ive done in the past (with the set off) crank the pot back and fourth several times. The wiper will clean the crud off the resistor. If you can get it deoxit is an amazing thing to have. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Need some GETT / Applied ECU / 23kw 3 Phase Generator Electrical Help

    They are easy to test when you can get to them its very important to disconnect one side when testing if you want any useable results. Most digital multi meters have a diode test function look for a symbol that looks like a triangle with a line through it. one way should show overload and...

    Need some GETT / Applied ECU / 23kw 3 Phase Generator Electrical Help

    this is bypassing the AVR by supplying current straight to the field. If it makes power this way the AVR may be bad (or there isnt enough magnetism to start the reaction(thats the ideal thing as the fix is a jump start and heavy load)) In the rotor assembly there is a set of diodes that...

    Need some GETT / Applied ECU / 23kw 3 Phase Generator Electrical Help

    Thats rated at 80 VDC 6 amps. so might have to go higher with the voltage. The battery draw is .25 amp? mathematically it should be 5 times that.

    hard to say, looking at the specs of the AVR and it is rated at 5 amps I dont think a 9 volt battery can deliver that kind of current

    Ok lets go for 3 batteries, Just to confirm, you do have the engine running correct?
