At 746 watts per horsepower (electric) a 35 kw generator would require about 470 horsepower. Round that up, and allowing for control loop margin and mechanical losses, I would guess that a 35 kw generator should need a 500 or 600 horsepower engine.

How do you stabilize or regulate ac three phase voltage and frequency output from natural gas generator?
A natural gas generator connected to the grid has its voltage and speed (frequency) stabilised by being connected to the grid. All generators on a grid run synchronously, and it happens because if one generator has a tendency to lag behind it will produce less power and thereby maintain its speed.
What problem occurs when a generator is run at 50 percent load?
After given 50% load that time engine was start to hunting
Will a 1 kVa generator run a deep freeze?
No, the generator is too small.
What is the function of Gas Turbine Generator?
Gas turbines are engines. Gas turbines, turboprops and turboshafts all work similarly--the engine turns a fan; the air coming off the engine's fan turns another fan, which is connected to a shaft that does the work you bought the engine to do. In fact, the most popular turboprop engine--Pratt & Whitney's PT-6--is also available set up as a turboshaft or a gas turbine. The gas turbine has a few advantages over the diesel engine. First, it's lightweight. General Electric will sell you a 33,000 horsepower gas turbine that weighs 10,000 pounds; Pielstick will sell you a 7000 horsepower diesel that weighs 70,000 pounds. Second, it's very reliable. And third, it can run on many kinds of fuel. Gas turbines own the natural gas pumping industry because they'll run on natural gas, which is right there--just run a little pipe from the gas main to the fuel control on the engine, and you're in business. The disadvantage of a gas turbine is it won't speed up very quickly. If you have a ship with a gas turbine in it, that's not a big problem--ships accelerate slowly no matter what kind of engine they have, just because they're big and have to push water out of the way. If you're pumping natural gas you don't care about acceleration at all--the engine is always going to run at the same speed. But this slow acceleration is one of the reasons they're not good car engines. (The major reason they're not good in cars is if you don't know how to start a turbine engine you'll destroy it; gasoline engines are much more difficult to harm that way.)
Can you use electric motor on generator insted of petrol motor?
of course you can.but the purpose of electricity is lost here.generators run by petrol or diesel engines are used because you dont have a electric supply or there is a power outage.if there is no power how can you run the electric motor which runs the generator.hence the generator is always coupled with and diesel IC engine.
Is there electricity in gas?
No. Not unless you are using the gas to run a generator.
How many hours will a propane generator run after the power goes out?
The factors that determine how long a propane generator can run are the size of the propane tank, the size of the generator, the brand of generator, and what is being used under the generator's power.
What size of generator to run 5.5kw 400v 50Hz motor?
You need a 5.5kw generator to run a 5.5kw motor.
Where can I buy a home electric power generator?
The most common backup generator in the United States is the portable type powered by a small gas engine. Yet, there's more to using one of these than wheeling it outside and firing it up. The key to using a generator safely is preparedness. Size it adequately, plan where and how you'll use it, then test run the machine.
Does any manufacturer produce a backup generator that can run on gasoline or ethanol or methanol?
Yes, generators are manufactured that can run on these products. The overlying factor is how large a KVA generator is needed for backup. If a large size generator is needed, the gasoline engine driving the generator may not have enough horsepower to do the job when compared to a diesel engine. Larger gasoline engines consume much more fuel per HP than do diesel engines, if cost is a factor in the equation as to what engine should be used to drive the generator.
Can you run premium gas in a unleaded only engine?
If you put leaded gas in an engine that is designed to run on unleaded gas, while the engine will run, it will not run optimally and you will ruin the catalytic converter.
Can you run your computer from a gas generator?
I have never tried, but as long as the generator is outputting the correct voltage, I don't see why not.
How does an engine run on old gas?
It depends on the engine and how old the gas is.
What size generator do you need to run a 8oz 110v-60Hz popcorn machine?
A 1500 watt generator will do fine.
What would cause gas generator to run very hot?
well, since its a gas generator, my guess is that its powered by farts, so farts would make it very hot.
Connect Natural Gas Generator For Home Into Gas Line?
You can connect a natural gas generator for home into your existing natural gas line. Doing this saves you the hassle and time of buying gas and filling the generator. This also ensures that your generator will be running constantly and will not run out of fuel. If a member of your family requires electricity for a medical device, this will ensure they are safe and comfortable during a power outage.
How many hours will a Honda 8000 watt generator run with 2 gallons of gas?
It will vary with the connected load. The higher the connected load the harder the engine has to run to keep the frequency at a standard value. The harder the engine works the more fuel it will consume. These types of specifications can be found in the operation manual that comes with the engine.
