Owning a portable power generator can be very nice because you can move it to any location that you want. Remember, though, that most of these come with wheels. If you are putting the generator in the back of your truck, make sure that you lay it down so that the wheels will not allow it to move in the truck. This will keep it from sliding around and could even keep it from falling out.

What are the dangers of portable power generators?

One of the most basic safety guidelines for generators is to make sure that you have a generator large enough to provide power to the location of your choice. If this safety guideline isn't met you can be subject to a break down or power surge.


What is a emergency generator?

An emergency generator is attach to a location power supply and electricity. When the power supply or electricity shuts down unintentionally the emergency generator will send power to the things that it is attached to that is designated, until the main power is back on.


What are some benefits of having an eco power generator?

Well you want it to be efficient since the idea of a generator is to give you power when your regular power source is down. If you power your generator with gas then you want the generator to use as little as possible and also to produce the cleanest exhaust possible.


Which portable generators weigh the least?

I found a gentron generator that weighed only 53 pounds. The power output is significantly lower than generators weighing more. It comes down to a power to weight ratio, so you need to determine what your specific needs are.


Is the Briggs and Stratton generator a high quality generator?

Looking down the list of different kinds of portable generators from Briggs and Stratton, most of them are 4 star and up, so yes, I think you can say that it is a high quality generator.


What is governor function in the generator?

The governor controls the speed of the power source rotating the generator. This has to be continually adjusted to match the load on the generator. As more load is switched on, the generator becomes harder to turn, this would cause the generator to slow down, unless the power unit is adjusted to increase power and correct the speed.


What happen if the RPM of power generator is going down and what is cause of this?

There are several reasons that the rpm of a power generator is going down. The rpm going down could cause damage to the motor if it is not fixed. To find the exact reason why this is happening review your user manual.


Importance of load characteristics of a generator?

I assume this is asking about the capability curve of a generator. A generator can only produce so much actual power (kW) at a specific power factor. As power factor changes, the amount of current flowing that is due to reactive power will also change. The total current Ix (reactive power) + Ir (real power) will cause heating in the generator, and so the generator can only kick out so much current, be it real power or reactive power. Reactive power is used to control the voltage (drag it down, or push it up) and change phase angles to push more power down specific lines. If the load on a generator is such that it's expected to generate power outside its' capability curve, terminal voltage may begin to sag (which will cause the generator output power to be less, potentially exacerbating the problem), or may float too high (potentially damaging equipment). Excessive heating in the generator can also result, and protective devices may kick in to trip the generator off line.


Can a transformer be used to power a deep fridge from a generator?

You power "type" must match. Most likely your generator should be able to have the fridge plug directly in, but you may indeed need a transformer to step the voltage up or down.


How does wave power work?

Basically a large generator is placed on top of the water with an electric generator inside of it that is moves up and down by the waves. This motion is used to drive the generator and creates electricity.That's just one way, though.


How do you step down frequency and voltage from an AC generator?

You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.


What will happen if you use 50 KVA generator when your requirement is 90 KVA?

If you take out too much power, the generator will probably get damaged. In the best of cases, it has a built-in protection, and shuts down before it gets damaged. In any case, you should avoid taking out more power than the generator can handle; also, you should get a more powerful generator. Or reduce your use.
