1000 watt generator power can it power a oil burner?
Watts = amps x volts. 1000/120 = 8.3. Assuming the oil burner motor is 120V then the generator has the ability to produce 8.3 amps. Find the amperage on the burner pump motor, if it is in this range it will work. The closer the pump amperage is to the generator output the more effect it will have on slowing the generator down on the start. Motors draw up to 300% on start up, this is what makes the generator lag when a motor is connected as a load.
What if you have a power outage and your incubator turns off?
In these types of ventures it is all ways a good idea to have a stand by generator available. It doesn't have to be tied into the house system. If the incubator is just a plug in device, start the generator for the duration of the power failure.

I just purchased a generator for my house, how do I install it so that it kicks on when the power goes out?
Most of the generators have auto-start mechanism . It most likely that even your generator will have that. The auto- start mechanism consists on triggering mechanism which activates the generator as soon as the power goes out.You can connect such device to your generator, too.

Does a back up generator need initial electricity to work?
No, a backup generator does not need initial power to work. Once it senses that the main source of power is cut off, the control will send a signal to the generator and the generator will kick start and provide electricity until it senses that a stable power source has returned. Then, it would switch off and be on standby mode again.
How do you full field a ford tractor generator?
while the engine is running , put your + lead from your voltmeter on the armature lug( the big lead). take off your field wire from the generator (don't add power to the lead from the regulator or you will fry the regulator) add a power source to the field lug of the generator. the generator should start climbing, if you get 14.5 volts , the generator is good
How does AMF panel for generator work?
AMF stand for Auto Mains Failure. Generally a generator/alternator power and normal commercial line switching over is done through it. A normal changeover, if mains fails you have switch the load circuit to generator, and when mains restors, generator supply will be cut off and fed to mains. in AMF this done by contactors and control circuits. if you want to know more......
1996 Mazda Millenia wouldn't start got a jump but when I took battery cables off the engine died?
Don't know about this issue re: Mazda.... but all other cars will cut off when the battery is disconnected, if the alternator is dead (bad). In the olden days, the alternator was called a "generator". That's because it continuously generated power for lights, horns, etc. That "generator" regenerates/recirculates power to keep the car cranked, but when you turn on your lights, the generator cranks out more power for the extra load. With a bad generator (alternator), your car's system does not have enough amps to keep the system running.
What is a propane powered generator?
