[Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

[Mel Farrer]

I tried to get more information on the "syntergy" process.  I know of no electrical design of the alternator that allow a non distorted change in frequency of the output,  However a method of load sensing and a planetary transmission with speed selection could do the job of letting the motor run slower while the alternator is at constant speed.  The 5-12 minute load sensing could be the process of the speed selection so that no load is affected.  Hummm interesting.
I have a 35 KW diesel Generac and never looked back.  It uses the old governor method of adjusting engineer fuel/RPM to load. Less load less fuel used.  OH well.

If you want to respond to this, please respond privately to me and NOT the list.


I am going through the process of choosing a whole house home generator and what caught my ey in the process was a new generator by GENERAC called "Syntergy" which uses a new three-vein generator and produces a relatively clean sine wave.  So clean, GENERAC claims less than 1% harmonic distortion, a level virtually undetectable to the user.


Has anyone studied this unit and made any conclusions about it?  Their standard unit produces a minimum of 10% harmonic distortion and they warn some communications services might become unuseable.


Again, respond to me privately:  <<  w5jv @ hotmail.com  >>.


Thank you,


Doug W5JV
