I already did that. The thing was running at 57hz. I went up one hole on the governor spring arm and got it up to 60.2 HZ but the voltage is too low. (108-110) What is the voltage with no load and where are you measuring the voltage? I don't know about the contractor type generators but the inverter types like the Honda are rated at peak output wattage, not continuous duty. I think the Honda e2000 is actually rated at 1600 watts continuous. This is measured at the load but right at the generator it is only about a volt higher. The other thing is I have a bunch of meters and they do not agree. I am not talking about Harbor Fright meters either. This is 2 Flukes, a Weston 901 and my Kill a Watt. They all read low voltage. I haven't had time to pursue this because we are still pretty busy cleaning up here but I am not putting the generator away before I resolve it. My oven is outside and cord/plug connected so it is a convenient load to play with. I may sell this one and buy a better generator with a voltage regulator if I determine this one does not have one. (my suspicion) Contractor grade generators may be designed to run brush motors in tools so they are not really very particular about the quality of the power. I did notice some of my equipment here was not really running quite right. The UPS units were alarming occasionally, one fridge froze up and my garage door opener was flakey. It needed help opening the door (even plugged directly into the generator on a 12 ga extension cord). |

Here's some science for you: http://www.businessinsider.com/how-often-should-you-shower-science-2017-1 The first thing I addressed was cleaning up the pool. That goes a long way towards keeping cool and not developing that 3d world smell. Flushing toilets is the easy one. Just dump a bucket of water in it. OTOH if you have a lift pump, it might just come up in your bath tub. My septic is gravity operated. When they told me all new systems might have to be mound systems I just fixed the one I had ... off the books. Tiki bar builders know how to do that sort of thing ;-) |
