VOLTAGE, FREQUENCY AND PHASE
| A.C. current is usually supplied by
Public Electricity undertakings in
sub-Saharan Africa at 230volts and a
frequency of 50 cycles (Hertz). The
normal supply to the average house is
single phase being a two wire system.
The three phase four wire system is
usually taken to factories to give
higher voltage. It is advantageous to
use a three – phase supply for electric
motor loads both on consideration of
price and starting characteristics.
Single phase sets with outputs up to
12kW or 15kVA are normally sufficient
for domestic installations |
|
| TYPES OF CONTROL |
| Recoil Start: |
With a recoil starter rope. |
| Electric start: |
This is available as standard
equipment and on all our sets. |
| Manual change over: |
This is a manual switch
normally with a pilot light wired so that when
the mains is on the light shows. |
| Automatic Transfer: |
Sets can be supplied to
start automatically and take up the load when
the mains fail. On restoration of the mains
supply the load is automatically transferred to
mains and the generator set shuts down. There
will always be a delay between mains failure and
the generator starting up and supplying full
load so if sensitive equipment is being used
such as computer systems, an Uninterrupted Power
Supply (UPS) should be installed. |
