Can you run a 240 volt pump with a generator that when idling puts out 260 volts?

It will probably be OK but if you are worried about it why not check with the User's Manual for the Pump to see if it mentions what tolerance of voltage fluctuation it has. Normal household AC voltage fluctuation in US, Canada and countries which use similar 60 Hz supplies, can be 240 volts RMS +/- 10%, that is from 216 Volts to 264 Volts. In Europe the standard frequency is 50Hz and the voltage specifications are now 230 Volts RMS +10%/-6%, that is from 216.2 Volts to 253 Volts.


What is the readings you get when you do megger test?

First you desire the voltage and resistence as per you using. phase to pase testing should be reading shows 1 its ok or its shows resistence its not ok. earth to phase its shows 1 ok.supose it shows some resistence its not ok. Neutral to earth its shows zero ok,supose its shows a resistence it is not ok.


How do you measure if a transformer is functional without applying voltage?

The short answer is you can't. The long answer is that it is possible with the appropriate tools but still involves applying an AC voltage to the input terminals and observing what happens on the output terminals, but it may not be necessary to use dangerous voltage levels to do this. Why? A transformer relies for its operation on a continuously varying magnetic field. The field is induced by current passing through the primary, driven by the applied AC voltage. It in turn induces current flow in the secondary coil, wound concentric to the input. This induction only happens as the magnetic field changes, and you can only get a changing magnetic field by flowing current through the input, and that can only happen by applying an AC voltage to the input. The magnitude of the output voltage is related (to a first approximation, with no secondary load) to the input by the simple ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil divided by the number of turns in the primary times the input voltage. This can not be tested using an Ohm meter. There are three basic kind of current flow - resistive, capacitative, and inductive. An Ohm meter can only measure resitive current flow. The other two require special meters known as L or C meters. The ideal transformer windings read pretty close to 0 Ohms resistively, so it is very difficult to tell if there are any short circuits between windings. An L meter can tell if there is in fact any magnetic capability. But the only true test is to input AC and measure the output with an AC volt meter. Or take it apart and see if it was OK (it won't bbe after you took it apart, of course!). That said, an ohm meter will tell you if either coil is broken (open circuit). Some transformers have one terminal of each coil tied to a common ground so an ohm test will not tell you if that is the case (OK) or if there is an umintended short between the coils (not OK).


Can you run 480V motor on a 380V system Have is 480v 60hz 3 phase equipment and moving to a country with 380V 50HZ power supply?

It will probably run but not correctly. Low voltage will cause the motor to draw less amps than it's designed to. It will not reach its rated RPMs and such slow operation may shorten its operating life.


What will happen when shunt field is kept open when generator is running in a dc shunt generator?

n=emf/flux according to this formula field open means fluxwill be zero.flux zero means speed will be infinity,but weknow that no machine can't reach infinite speed so thattherotically ok but practically starting speed willincrease then it will reduced zero.

What if your generators output is 127 252 volts . Is it ok for temp power?

You will probably find that 127/252 is the no load voltage, when you plug a tester into the sockets of the plugs on the generator. If you have the ability to test the voltage with the load plugged in you should find that the voltage has dropped to a more standard 120/240 or 115/230. Yes it is OK for temporary power.

Ac Adapter is it ok to use higher voltage?

On both the primary side and the secondary side the answer is no. It's OK if the voltage is within 10% of your original AC Adapter.


What is AVR generator?

AVR stands for Automatic Voltage Regulator for generator. Most AVR work by automatically comparing the sensed voltage with the reference setting generator output voltage then diverting the input current to the exciter circuit. Some AVR circuit are configured in parallel connection with the exciter stator winding, When it sense below rated set voltage, more current is feed to the exciter to catch up the voltage difference until it would reach equilibrium again, when it is within rated voltage less current is feed to the exciter or more current is diverted to the AVR circuit. Some AVR has manual remote voltage trim or control to manually raise or lower the set voltage. The AVR works also during parallel operation by regulating voltage and controlling load Ampere (load sharing capability), the power factor (PF) and VAR (Volt-Amps Reactive).


When a solenoid switch goes is it ok to charge a battery?

yes, it's OK to charge the battery. A switch like this is controlled by voltage so low voltage could make the switch not work.


How do you test both water pumps on a 1949 ford 239 ci and test generator?

Wow! A flathead Ford V8. If you can drive the car, call around to your local parts stores and see if they can check a 6 volts generator. Here are some things to do if no one can test it for you. If you have a voltmeter, here are some easy tests to make: Measure the voltage across the battery. Should be about 6.3 volts with the engine off. As the engine speeds up, the voltage should increase to somewhere around 7 volts. If it does, the generator is working and charging the battery. If the voltmeter does not go up with the engine running, first check to see that the generator brushes are not worn excessively. If you can, apply a little pressure to the brushes while the engine is running and see if the gen light goes out or the voltmeter reading increases. If it does, the brushes may be worn to the point that they don't exert enough pressure on the commutator. If the brushes check OK, do this test: Disconnect the generator from the regulator (probably easiest to simply take the wires off the generator). Connect a jumper from DF on the generator to the generator frame. Now run the engine and measure the voltage from ground to D+ on the generator. NOTE: Some generators have different types of terminals; verify which is DF and which is D+. As you increase the engine speed, the voltage should jump up to +17 volts or so (@3000 RPM). If it passes this test, the generator is good. (Don't run this test longer than necessary as it will overheat the generator.) If it fails that test, the generator may need to be polarized. Leave the jumper wire connected from DF to ground. Remove the fan belt. Connect a wire from the battery + terminal to D+ on the generator. The generator shaft should start to spin. Don't run this way for more than a few seconds to avoid overheating. The generator will now be properly polarized. If the generator did not spin during this motoring test, the generator is likely defective. Put the belt back on and re-test for generator voltage with DF grounded. If the output voltage is still low, the generator is defective. About polarizing Generators, unlike alternators need to be "polarized". Auto generators need some magnetism to get started. This "residual" magnetism remains in the Field pole pieces even after the engine has stopped. The next time the generator starts up, the residual magnetism creates a small voltage in the Armature windings. Not enough to charge the battery, but enough to allow the Field windings to draw current. As the Field current increases, the pole pieces create even more magnetism. That makes even more voltage in the Armature, and the cycle continues until the generator is capable of producing maximum output. A generator which has been stored a long time or is freshly built may have lost the residual magnetism to the point where it can no longer get the generator started producing voltage. In the case of a new generator or one which has been mis-treated, the residual may even be of the wrong direction (North and South poles reversed). Polarization is a simple process used to restore the Field pole residual magnetism and ensure the magnetic direction is correct. As to you water pumps, remove the radiator cap and start the engine. Look for flow. No flow then both pumps are bad. If a pump is leaking at the shaft or through the weep hole, it needs rebuilding or replacement. The only sure fire way to know if the pump is good is to remove it and take a look inside. If the impeller is not broken, it should pump. Good luck, you have a classic.

Is it ok to replace a 95 amp alternator with a 130 amp in a 1994 ford explorer sport and what is the difference between them?

Replacing a lower amp generator with a higher one won't hurt. The 130 amp generator doesn't put out 130 amps, it is just capable of generating more amps if called on to do so by the system. For example, if your explorer only uses 10 amps, then the 130 amp generator will only put out 10 amps.
