Your volt meter shows your generator is producing 145 volts will it damage your electrical equipment?

Yes it coudl damage equipment. Check voltage rating on equipment. However, there should be an adjustment somewhere on the generator to set the voltage properly. Also make sure your meter is calibrated. Check a known voltage source such as an outlet and compare readings.

Why is it important to make sure all the equipment works?
It is important for a business to make sure that all its equipment works in order to avoid dangerous accidents that could employees and clients. Also, defective equipment could cost the business time and money if it ends up causing property damage or producing substandard goods.
What is critical speed of dc generator?
the maximum permissible speed above which the generator is likely to damage or may cause circuit to fail.
Why use surge protecting resistor to generator rotor winding?
To limit the fault current used surge protective resistance in generator rotor winding to protect the rotor winding heavy damage.
Why use the synchronous generator in power plant?
The electrical power generated must be AC exactly phase synchronized with the AC on the power grid. If it is not synchronized the generators will take power from the grid and try to run as motors and probably severely damage themselves and maybe other parts of the power plant.
What conditions must be done before a generator can be connected to a 3-phase system?
Assuming the generator is in good condition and designed to be connected to a power grid. A generator can be connected by ensuring the generator is at very nearly the same speed as the grid (typically very slightly faster) and is generating a similar voltage. When the phases of the generator and grid align, the circuit breakers can be closed and the generator will become locked to the grid. If the generator is connected to the grid without being in phase, the difference in phase will allow significant current to flow and in some situations can actually be worse than a direct short circuit. As a result of this power companies use sophisticated equipment to ensure that generators can be safely connected to the grid without damage. Household, camping and most industrial generators are not designed to be synchronised with the grid and should not be connected to a grid system.
How does a generator damage electronics?
A generator does not damage electronics it produces voltage to operate electronic equipment.
Can you add to much salt to salt generator?
Yes you can. It is recommended, mostly, to keep your salinity between 3000 - 4000ppm. This way the generator can do it job or producing enough chlorine to keep your pool sanitized. Adding too much salt can damage your cell and possibly deck and equipment. Good luck Robert
Why do people working on electronic equipment wear wrist straps?
To eliminate Static Electricity - Which can damage electrical equipment.
What does the voltage regulator do on a generator?
A voltage regulator controls the output voltage of a generator. This ensures only the specified ÊvoltageÊis supplied thus preventing damage to the circuit and other electrical appliances.Ê
What is the importance of computer assembly?
It's important because not only will it not work properly. But can also cause damage to the equipment or the individual. Many electrical fires are caused by incorrect use/assembly of electrical equipment
Why fault protection is essential.?
To prevent overheating/damage/fire of the electrical components in a circuit.
Which of the following is the best definition of a hazard?
a condition, procedure, or practice that creates a potential for producing death, injury, occupational illness, or equipment damage
Is back feeding a breaker legal?
There are code rule that allow the use of back feeding specific breakers. Before doing any such action check with the local electrical inspector. If your thoughts are along the line of feeding a generator into the electrical panel during a power failure, don't do it. There is electrical apparatus in the market place now that allows such action, use it. Remember that you can be help liable for any damage to utility company personnel or equipment.
how much weight can you consistently "pull" with an electrical fork lift without causing damage to the drive motor?
refer to the equipment manual and specs
Why must cells phones be turned off in a medical office?
So that it doesn't disturb anyone, it is unlikely that it will cause any damage to any electrical and medical equipment.
