Best Answer

The frequency is based on the RPM (speed) of the generator. If you over ride the governor on bigger generator or move the speed control upwards on smaller units you will be able to reach 60 Hz. Keep in mind though the voltage will increase also.

What size generator do you need to run a 8oz 110v-60Hz popcorn machine?

A 1500 watt generator will do fine.


How is alternative current prodused in a battery?

A battery by itself will only supply DC output. You would need a method to convert DC to AC, such as an inverter, in simplified terms: an electronic circuit which has an oscillator to create the desired frequency then amplifies it to the desired magnitude output. Another way, which I don't know if used anymore, is a motor-generator set. A DC motor's shaft is connected to an AC generator's shaft, and the output is taken from the AC generator.


What kind of power generator should I purchase for my home use during an emergency?

The power generator you buy depends on the amount of power you need to generate. On Walmart.com there are several generators listed with various capacities. Be aware of the safety precautions you will need to take when using your generator.


If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?

Your house runs nowhere near 200 amps, so you need to make a list of appliances and fixtures that you use, or that you will need while the generator is running, and add their power consumption together. Add some extra capacity for growth and so the generator is not always at full power. Then talk to dealers about generators with the amount of power you need. To run the house on a generator with the same capacity as the service that you have in your house you would need a 50 Kilowatt generator.

How you can change a Honda eu10i 60Hz generator to 50HZ?

the generator will have a timing circuit to turn on and off the coil at 60 times per second. you must change the values of the timing circuit to achieve this. definitely need an o-scope and the manufacturer's schematics to accomplish this

No. For that, you need an inverter or a generator.

How do you convert 60hz into 50hz?

I'm going to assume you're referring to the frequency of AC (Alternating Current) and I'm going to assume that you're asking because you have some device that wants 50Hz and you are faced with a 60Hz supply. That is a lot of assumptions but you didn't give a lot of information.It is possible but you'd have to convert the 60Hz AC to DC then back to 50Hz AC. It would involve some expensive equipment. I'm not aware of a one-box solution but you could piece together a system with an AC-DC battery charger, adequate storage batteries, and a DC-AC power inverter. Depending on your application, you might be better off replacing the equipment that won't run on 60Hz.Before running off and spending your money on this, check the labels for your equipment. The label on my laptop power supply says it accepts 110vac-240vac at 50/60Hz. If you're going to run into problems it would most likely be with electric motors.

How can you convert a DC generator into an ac generator?

Converting D/C into A/C is very expensive. You can use inverters to switch the direction of the current but you would probably be better off to replace your DC generator with an AC generator and if you need both AC and DC power then use a rectifier (inexpensive when compared to inverters) to convert the AC to a DC current.
