Per the manufacturer's document for the engine (assuming the gauge is accurate) - your oil pressure is fine.

I'm having to do the same thing for my home brew governor.

You are choosing the more challenging machine to start with. These are a little different than your typical generator.

That I don't recommend because if anything causes the inverter to fault you get zero output even with the engine running.

The freq of the PMA would be the best thing to use assuming the controller can read frequency above say 100hz and 200v. Once it gets that high you are for certain not on the starter.

I would set it to kick out on oil pressure.

The alternator is an AC output. Its a 3-phase high frequency PMA (permanent magnet alternator). No excitation circuit needed. The schematic in the manual should be a big help to keep you going. Have fun.

Few quick things: The generator head isn't 60hz. Don't know if that is going to matter to you. Just don't expect 60hz from it. The actual frequency is much higher (300hz range). Engine speed is variable. It is load based from the governor module. There is no external input for speed control...

What you need to do for each of these cases is to verify the condition with an alternate measurement. For the electrical stuff you use V/A meter to verify the voltage and current. See if the voltage is moving around. For the oil pressure, don't assume the gauge is correct. Buy a cheap...

He isn't selling them. Only reporting ones that have been serviced.

I don't think anyone here has gone down that road. There are a couple other auto starts that have popped up in posts but you will be doing some trail blazing. Have you you sat down with the wiring diagram and identified how it needs to be connected? The connection table for S1 will give you a...

Technically you grounded it. Bonding is something else. ;)

I think he didn't meant bonded as it is used in the NEC. I read it as connecting the ground to the trailer. I certainly agree with that. As as a general FYI the term "bonding" as it is used in the NEC describes connecting the ground and neutral together. It doesn't describe connections in...

I think if you post information about equipment and not relate it to an auction it should be OK.

Be careful to not run afoul of the forum rules about linking to auctions.

Do it!

This should point someone in the right direction if they want to find it. https://www.distributorwire.com/blog/machine-tool-wire/

What he said. Its OK to drive a ground rod at the generator if you like. Removing the bonding jumper at the generator is required to meet code.

My advice is to swap the elements for lower power ones. You can't overload these as much as the other MEPs and have them survive.
