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.
Why is diesel electric used on locomotives?
Diesel electric is used on locomotives because the diesel electric system is much cleaner and quieter and more efficient than the old steam locomotives. The diesel fuel is used to run a generator which produces electric power which is used to power the electromagnetic drive motors mounted on the locomotives axles!
Do British trains run on diesel or electric?
British trains run on both diesel and electric
Is diesel good for a generator?
Yes, it is. There are plenty of generators that run on diesel, e.g. these: http://www.dieselgeneratorco.com.
Do you know what home wind power generator is?
A wind power generator is something relevant to a windmill that uses wind to turn the blades creating electric that you can use to run your house. This saves a lot of money on electric costs.
Can a diesel generator for elevators run on single phase?
If the elevator has a single-phase motor, the diesel generator can also be single phase provided the voltage and VA ratings are compatible.
Can you run an electric stove off generator?
Yes, you can run an electric stove off a generator, but it may require a generator with a higher wattage capacity to handle the stove's power requirements. Make sure to check the stove's wattage and the generator's capacity before attempting to power the stove.
How much does it cost to run a diesel generator?
Running a diesel generator generally costs more than flipping on the grid, especially when you consider both fuel and other upkeep. At full load, for example, a 20 kW diesel generator can burn around 1.6 gallons per hour, which—at today’s U.S. diesel prices of around $3 per gallon—equates to roughly $4.80 per hour For a more detailed breakdown: large-scale diesel systems operating at their efficiency sweet spot—about 65–70% load—have an electrical output of roughly 3 kWh per liter of diesel. Given that one liter is approximately $0.90, that puts the running cost somewhere around $0.30 per kWh purely in fuel terms Don't forget that maintenance, oil changes, and filter replacements add to the total, which can easily push the cost to over $0.25/kWh when fully accounted for So as a quick guide: Small to mid-size units (like 20 kW): around $4–$5 per hour Larger or more efficient units (65–70% load): about $0.30/kWh, with total operating costs above $0.25/kWh At MasterAire, we tailor power solutions suited to your application and help model both upfront and running costs—so you know what to expect in real-world use.
How to heat your home with a Bio-Diesel generator?
Are you running into higher utility bills while trying to heat your home? Did you know that you could use a bio-diesel generator in place of the regular one and save a lot of money and energy? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to heat you home using a bio-diesel generator. Step 1 The first step is for you to contact a good electrician and determine the amount of energy that your house consumes, with all the appliances running, in a day. The consumption required would be calculated by the electrician based on the size of your house, your lifestyle and the number of electrical appliances that are being used. Step 2 Search for a diesel generator in your locality and purchase it. You can easily find one at a store that sells lawn mowers. Step 3 Once you have purchased the diesel generator, your electrician can install it following the instructions supplied by the generator manufacturer. Step 4 Once the installation is complete, fill up the generator’s tank with diesel. Turn on all the appliances that you will be using regularly in your house and start running the generator. Step 5 When you complete the above step, you will be in a comfortable position, as you will know that all your home appliances are working properly when used with a diesel generator. It’s now time to convert your diesel generator to run on bio-diesel. Even as the generator is running on diesel, fill up the tank by slowly pouring bio-diesel. Step 6 You can easily find out the difference when your generator starts to function entirely on bio-diesel. The hum that the generator produces while running on normal diesel will be a bit louder while the hum will be smoother and quieter when running on bio-diesel. Another way to find this out is by smelling the exhaust. When the generator runs on bio-diesel you will be able smell sweetness. Step 7 Periodically monitor and maintain your generator properly. When your family size increases you must also replace your existing generator with a more powerful one. You will be able to save more by turning off your bio-diesel generator whenever your house is empty. You will actually get addicted to bio-diesel when you start receiving lower utility bills.
What will happen if water gets mix with diesel in 15kva generator?
Generator will not run or miss very badly. Drain all the fuel out and drain the lines. Replace the fuel filter and fill it up with Diesel.
Can you explain train engine?
Well they used to run on steam power. Where wood or coal would be burned to make heat that would boil water and boiling water makes steam. When water turns to steam it expands and it can expand with enough power to move pistons. The pistons were usually connected directly to the drive wheels through long connecting rods that connected to the outer edge of the wheel. Modern day train engines are usually diesel electric. Where a diesel engine is coupled to a electric generator and then the electricity from the electric generator is use to run electric motors which are connected to the drive wheels.
Why own an electric generator?
Most electricity generators are run by diesel, so how much money you save by using one, will be determined by the price of diesel at the time. However, an extra bonus in favour of generators is that you will still have power in event of a power cut
