    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    I ended up buying a PPDU a while back and I believe I bought a parallel cable from you on fleabay. After making a couple of small changes in my PPDU I got everything up and going. I have 6 of these rigs and I'm working on getting them ready to work as stand alones but I might have an interest...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    Just a quick update after several months of collecting pieces....I got all of my cables built, acquired a PPDU and the correct parallel cable. Yesterday I finally tried to run everything together to satisfy the quick load requirements to my spot welder and it did work. I just wanted to give my...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    I was looking at it a little harder this morning and I'm a little concerned about the potential for damage occurring trying to remove it. It is a very hard and it bit very well to the board. I was hoping since it was so hard it might be brittle and break off easily but no such luck. What do...

    It looks painted on with a brush. In the lower hole you can see the adjustment screws, not so much on the upper. Any thoughts or concerns?

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    I did notice those before but was unaware of the what they controlled so thanks for that. I remember seeing the screws but they must be factory preset as mine have a green epoxy dabbed on to them to make them tamper "resistant". Tomorrow when I get a few minutes I will give this a try. I...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    Do 2 generators running in parallel actually have 2x's the power output as a constant and share the load equally or does the 2nd generator only have an increase in output after the 1st generator reaches it's peak output? If they share equally would the load requirement be 1/2 that as just 1...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    This is an all new learning curve for me and I by no means have an opinion I would trust as to the fix for what the issues I'm having is. The governor controller is a GAC electronic controller and one of the 1st things I did was to verify the ramp up controller was set for the smallest time...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    would you believe the amperage would be doubled in parallel operation at any given RPM? My generators are on ECU trailers and I have thought about running 1 of the A/C units to preload the generator once paralleled. I wasn't sure if this would help though as the generators might only be...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    The problem was not tripping a breaker, I didn't have sufficient power to perform a quality weld. The spot weld process happens very quickly and I believe the generator does not have the amperage needed at it's base idle. The engine will start to lug as the weld starts and by the time it...

    thanks I think you are correct after doing an internet search for that

    Is a PPDU a 2 input power distribution unit or ??

    moral of the story (atleast for me) I have a lot of reading to do!!

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    Did you build your own cables or were able to find them as surplus? If you got them as surplus I'm guessing did you did so on GL? I've been searching for them and haven't had any luck, that's one of the reason I bought a crimper. I would much rather be able to find them as surplus if possible...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    I'm very with you guys on reading up on correct procedures, I've contacted Applied and haven't had much luck in obtaining a manual and have not been able to find one posted here on SS or online. Any suggestions on how to locate a proper manual? I was thinking both outputs would have to be...

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    Hello to all, I have 2 identical drash trailers and I'm wanting to parallel the two of them together. Both are 23kw Applied Companies generators (best I can tell) and they are set up to be able to run paralleled as they have electronic governors and parallel cable outlets. I just received a...
