    Wiring a PTO driven 21Kva 3-Phase Generator

    Aragorn, common (usual ?) to fit all-speed governer on agricultural & industrial engines, which operate as I described. I think what you describe is for road going vehicles. In this day of electronic controls, all speed & torque regulation is done in software. It's more than a PID controller...

    tester calibration

    Afternoon everyone, I took various people's advice and forked out for a Megger 1552 (used from ebay). Just got it, seems intact and does what it says on the tin, but is out of calibration. Any advice on where to go for calibration, and what I should expect to pay ? Thanks, David

    Wiring a PTO driven 21Kva 3-Phase Generator

    The "throttle" on a diesel engine (hand or foot operated) is a device that sets the engine speed to which the governor (incorporated in the Fuel Injection Pump (FIP)) will attempt to control. So, if you use the hand throttle to set the engine to 1500rpm with the genny off load, then when you...

    Help finding a really cheap 13A socket.

    I remember reading something from MK that said that a twin SO is rated to to a total of 13A, and quoting some tests that showed damage when running at 18A. I think I read it here; I've done a search but drawn a blank. Any one else remember this or am I hallucinating ? TLC do a Telco one...

    Coljack, Sorry, didn't get your drift. Is the two contacter concept what you were proposing ? Componded by my bad typing and an attempt at humour...what i meant say was "I don't want to go back in the box". IIRC it was catch phrase of a ventriloquist act when I was a kid. If you remeber...

    Other local area codes

    Just a couple of thoughts from a customer viewpoint: 1. If I'm looking for a tradesman, I want one that's local, and I won't call 08xx or 03xx numbers cos you don't know where they are, and it implies a biggish company 2. I look at a card or advert or van to see what the STD code is to...
