Is it profitable to generate large electric power using mechanical drive obtained from a motor using available commercial supply instead of engine using fuel?

Normally, you are better off using the large electric motor rather than using an engine using fuel. A large electric motor requires an extremely small amount of maintenance. When the factory was down for one day, the boss realized that he was wrong when he tried to save money by not spending the little extra that it would cost to use commercial electricity. Your first task is to be up and running all the time. Your electric motor is far more dependable.

How do you repair a voltage regulator?

If it has gone bad, you should probably replace it. However, if you want to attempt the repair, it would depend on what is wrong with it. Like an electric motor, a voltage regulator commonly has brushes which wear down over time. Perhaps these brushes have worn to the point that they need to be replaced. If this is the case, I recommend changing them at a small repair shop that does that sort of work. Ask around with local handymen or guys at the autoparts store. Someone does it and it will probably cost $20. I don't know if you can buy the brushes to change yourself. You could also replace the voltage regulator by finding one at a junk yard.

What oil do you use on electric hedge trimmer blades?

I use 30w engine oil with my trimmer. Once I start it and let it run a miniute (You can do this with an electric as well) I use an old oil can to apply about 1-2 drops of oil where the guide bar screws are located. I reapply about every 2-3 hours dependant upon how heavy I am using the machine. With an electric I would think you shouldn't be using it as much, but I may be wrong.
