[QUOTE="Geri O'Neil, post: 97542, member: 25"] Re: Experience running off diesel generators You definitely want to consult with a local electrician that can help the discussion between you and the generator company. He can help decipher the language that goes on with those discussions. We routinely use large generators in the 100kW up to 200kW range, [B]and once, a 350kW unit [/B] (the latter being installed in a 45ft semi trailer) with no issues, but I know what I'm looking for and what to watch out for and have regular discussions about the topic with the genset guys (like the time a 125kW genset showed up with a totally digital control center. They sent it out with no instructions on how to set and store the necessary voltage requirements in the memory of the digital control center. Monday morning, we had a roundtable on that rascal!). Sometimes, we use 2 100kW generators and there are things to do under these circumstances. Not being a certified electrician, I'm not comfortable discussing this on a forum such as this. For the safety and well-being of all personel and gear involved, you are better off having and paying an electrician to help and advise you along the way. Good luck, Geri O [/QUOTE]
