Power Factor is a electrical method of equating efficency in an inductive load. Unity power factor is 1. this loosely equates to no losses in the system at .85PF we do have losses in the copper and iron.

Loads also have a power factor that effects output for example a incandecent globe is a pure resistive load and will have unity power factor. A fluro is an inductive load and will have a lagging power factor. A capacitive load will have a leading power factor.

Bob I think your gen set probally should turm at 3000RPM, a 300 RPM unit would have a 22 pole gensetand be turned by a diesel ships engine.

Just to keep this topic a little bit on top for the manual search.

I post a picture so now and then.

Find the difference.

One is brown and marked No.1 whilst the other is silver and marked No.2.

I think I have found the manual and am waiting for either it or a photocopy of it. That is all up to my contact.

Hello Bob.

Your making me a happy man.

And the answer on the photo is spot on.

Done a little bit of building today, it starts to look like a generator again.

I am almost finished, i only have to do the electric wirring.

I think the overloaded it once.

Because of the melting from some wirres.




What i am thinking about and maybey you guy's can advise me.

At the bottom of the control box is a air intake.



At the generator i have a conection that blows a lot of air, during operation.



I am thinking of conecting this to the bottem of the control box, so it gets verry good ventilated.

Bad or good idea ?
