Have a look at AuroraGenerators.com
If it is diesel your looking at about 1 gallon per hour however likely you are not running at full load. You can expect to be using on average 0.5 gallons per hour on an Aurora Diesel Generator
It depends on the frequency and the number of poles the generator has:
RPMS = 120 * Frequency / number of poles
The generator should be about ¾ hp.
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.
At 746 watts per horsepower (electric) a 35 kw generator would require about 470 horsepower. Round that up, and allowing for control loop margin and mechanical losses, I would guess that a 35 kw generator should need a 500 or 600 horsepower engine.
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.
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.
In conduit? direct burial? distance?
The size of diesel generator varies greatly. The size that is needed would depend on the size of the house.
Yes, generators are manufactured that can run on these products. The overlying factor is how large a KVA generator is needed for backup. If a large size generator is needed, the gasoline engine driving the generator may not have enough horsepower to do the job when compared to a diesel engine. Larger gasoline engines consume much more fuel per HP than do diesel engines, if cost is a factor in the equation as to what engine should be used to drive the generator.
The generator should be about ¾ hp.
I have a generator that has a ford engine in it i want to find out what size of engine it is
This depends on many factors, such as the size of the generator engine, for example. It is basically like the starter motor on a car engine.
ranch style home - 1500 square foot with partial basement. What size generator would be needed?
To answer this question the voltage and amperage of the unit must be stated. Once this is given the generator size can be calculated.
The cable that is used to connect from the generator is based on the size in kW's of the generator and the generator's breaker size rated in amps. It usually is a flexible cab-tire 4 wire cable if the generator is a portable type. If it is a stationary generator is has to be wired with a flexible conduit so as not to transmit vibration from the generator to the conduit system.
if your talking about a generator its not the hp of the engine its the size, rpm, and gearing of the generator motor
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.
A generator for a three bedroom house would be medium sized. Try a small to medium sized generator that can be found online or at any hardware store in your neighborhood.
