I'm in the market for a new genset - probably a low-RPM diesel generator, with 240VAC, clean sine wave output, audibly quiet / "silent" canopy, in the 10 to 20 KW range. It will be located fairly clo

Many of the home backup gens here are 3600 rpm, not a bad compromise IMO considering the very low duty cycle. However, when I bought my Kohler the advice was to not go 3600 as the very low loading on

Make a list of all that "needs" to run and figure their start current. Yes. I live in the Santa Cruz mountains, with several power failures a year, thanks to winter storms that drop trees and summer
As is everything practically in any engineering situation, tradeoffs are the essence of decision making. Requirements vary so solutions vary. Given the statistics on outages in my area, I do not anti

generator, Interesting topic but not germane to TOWER TALK where we talk about tower and HF antenna system construction. Cheers, Steve K7LXC TT ADMIN _______________________________________________
My backup genset will power my electric raise and lower crank-up tower when installation is completed in addition to my workshops where I work on tower components and antennas. As a spin-off benefit

My preference is propane and solar. Propane because it doesn't eat and gum up carburators like the garbage ethanol laced gasoline available these days and solar because for the most part it is free (
Har har. Sure, but where are the antenna and tower construction questions? Still not a TOWERTALK topic. Cheers, Steve K7LXC TT ADMIN _______________________________________________ _________________
