What is the price range when purchasing a power generator?

The price range when purchasing a power generator depends a great deal on the size of a generator. A small generator for the garage can be purchased for $100.00 while a large industrial generator can cost as much as $30,000.00.


Are diesel power generators safer and easier to use than regular gas generators?

A diesel generator combines a diesel engine with a traditional electric generator. The benefit of the diesel generator is that it allows power to be pulled without being connected to the electricity grid. It can be a valuable tool during a power outage. The generator must be the appropriate size for your power needs, however, or the system could short out.


How many watts can be powered by a 9 volt generator?

There is no way to answer without knowing the wattage rating of the 9 volt generator. A generator's wattage rating depends on the size of the wire in it, the wattage of the rectifiers if it is a DC generator, and the horse power of the engine or motor that is available to turn the generator.


Choosing The Right Size Home Generator For A Power Outage?

Home generators that are intended to be used during power outages need to be large enough to handle the electricity use in a house. The amount of power that is needed is the total of all devices that will be used with the generator at the same time after power has been shut off. This can include refrigerators, heaters and even lights. The generator needs to have more than this wattage at startup and needs to be able to sustain at least that much electricity while the generator is running over an extended period of time. Generators that are too small can actually harm the appliances in a home.


Why a given generator frequency is dictated by the size of the magnetic flux?

A generator's frequency is dictated by the power system frequency, and the number of poles in the generator. For 60 Hz power and a generator designed with two poles, the generator must turn at 3600RMPs (60 Hz * 60 seconds / minute). The magnetic flux is what induces the current in on the output winding. Spinning a synchronous generator faster or slower is not done to control the magnetic flux. The field winding voltage is varied to control this, and in turn control the output of the generator.

What are the features on a fuel driven power generator?

Some features you'll need to know about fuel driven power generators are power, tank size, overall size and maximum draw. If you need the generator to be portable, it needs to be smaller, and will require re-fueling more often. If you need to power appliances, you'll need a more powerful one.


How do you know what kind of power supply cord to buy?

It depends on what you need the power cord for. Usually you will have a manual that can tell you exactly what is needed. If not, just look carefully at the connecting points and see what the shape/size of the power cord needed is. Depending on the appliance, you need to pick out the right cord it tells you it needs.


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 is the best home standby generator on the market?

The best home standby generator will vary from home to home. You will need to determine what you need to power, how many appliances, size of your home etc.


What size generator do you need to move a 30 hp electric motor?

A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.


What size diesel generator would you need if there was a power outage?

The size of the generator is based on the size of the load you want to supply. Size up the load in watts or amps along with what phase (single or three) and voltage that the load requires. These are needed to give a complete answer.


How much would a Yamaha generator cost?

Prices vary for a Yamaha Generator depending on the size of the generator. The more wattage involved, the more you will need to pay. First you need to determine the size of generator you need then contact a local retailer.


If you have 1200 watt generator how much will voltage drop with 100ft extension cord?

To answer this question more information is needed. The wire size of the extention cord is needed.


If you average 2000 kw of usage per month what size generator do you need?

You would need to size your generator to power the items that you need to power during a power outage (freezer, refrigerator, etc.). The fewer items you need to power the smaller the generator you can get. Items such as water heaters, air conditioners/heat pumps and electric furnaces use more energy than most smaller generators can supply. Any one item plugged into a 15 amp outlet would use less than 2000 watts each (max). A 5000 watt (continuous rating) generator should have no problem powering a refrigerator, a freezer and a few lights. Larger items like A/C, water heaters and electric furnaces would need to be turned off for a generator this size.


What size generator would you need to power a 200 amp tig welder?

Generators are rated in watts or kilowatts. The formula for watts is W = Amps x Volts. To size a generator for the welder the voltage of the machine must be stated.
