Steam Genny

[securespark]

Used at Hollycombe Steam Collection in Hants to run an Edwardian Fairground. Fantastic!

Not sure about those exposed connections, though...

Is that Mrs Secure in the background looking a bit fed up?

Those big handle-switches look American?

 

[securespark]

No, it's not!!

Just a woman who thought I was trying to take her photo.....From behind a ruddy great steam tractor?!

I was a bit taken aback about the install TBH...

Those cables are not armoured & disappear off into the ground to feed various attractions. There does not seem to be any RCD's or earth rods anywhere....

 

[RF Lighting]

At least they have used haromnised colours tape on the end of the cables

OOI did you see if the genny is AC or DC, and what voltage it is outputting?

 

[Spark123]

Welcome to the world of fairgrounds!!
Quite possibly DC too.

 

[ricicle]

Welcome to the world of fairgrounds!!

Yeah, anything goes

 

[securespark]

No, I didn't & the guy who was looking after it had gone for a butty...

But the ammeter was hovering around the 20A mark.

There was an impressive shower of sparks flying from the armatures...
