Electrical Generating set, is simply the coupling together of two main units, (1) the prime mover =diesel or petrol engines (mechanical). (2)electrical part which is the alternator. the alternator comes with it's power ratings, voltage types i.e 3phase=380-415v or single phase=220-240v.,rotating speed (rpm),power inVA or KVA,power factor cos phi,etc.in the case of vehicles engine conversion,JUST MAKE SURE OF THE FOLLOWINGS . -rotational speed rpm of the engine correlate with that of the alternator's. -the power rating of the engine in W or KW is slightly MORE than that of the alternator's VA or KVA . -equip the engine with an automatic fuel actuator or governor. -equip the alternator with an automatic voltage regulator AVR YOU WILL SEE ALL THE ENGINE & ALTERNATOR'S RATINGS ON THEIR NAME PLATES . Lobatan! just couple with accurate allignmet and start to enjoy your new gen.set .if u encounter any problem contact 08032243504. |

Mynd44: What you forgot is one rotates anti clockwise and the other clockwise. They need slight modification to make them a full working generator. |
