Overspeed alarm based on alternator frequency
Richard,
Colin's overspeed problem started when he changed the speed of the alternator. He needs to use an alternator that generates the required power at the original alternator speed. He may have a Leece-Neville alternator, but it is not the large magnet variety, if he has to spin it at 8K rpm. Steve "Electricky Dicky" wrote in message ...

Glenn has expressed very valid concerns when equiping an engine with an alternator. It appears that you have out engineered yourself. If you need to spin your alternator 8k rpm to get it to perform, you have clearly chosen the wrong alternator. Go out and buy a proper large magnet Leese-Neville industrial grade alternator and spin the thing acording to OEM instructions. Problem solved. Steve Colin did not originally ask about specifying an alternator,he was discussing engine overspeed alarm requirements. The alternator he indicated is a Leece-Neville! I cannot see the problem with his setup! Richard Nb "Pound Eater" Parkend G+S |
