    will a 1.5 kw 28VDC generator jump start an 003A

    Thanks. is there a separate panel that goes between the 1.5 KW generator and the batteries to just charge the batteries? or i guess i am asking if there is some kind of charge controller or DCVR to protect the batteries?

    Advice needed. Which genset for off grid?

    sorry i wasn't clear. i meant to say get a DC charging gen for batt maintenance and keep the 002a for backup emergency and for powering equipment that the inverter can't handle. i would run a fuel comparison first. and definitely ask your neighbors what they do and if you can don't try...

    Noob with gen set questions.

    i was considering matching the load to the gen set for fuel economy also. generally speaking an 802A uses about half of the diesel that an 803A uses . when my 002A 5kw is running the farm, house propane heat gas water heater and electric cloths dryer well pump and all appliances happen to...

    another 002A DC Voltage regulator question

    no it was a white box about 1.5 inches square with one black wire out each end. it was attached on one end to the mounting screw of the terminal block and the other end to the 24 vdc lead out of the terminal block where the DCVR connects and the 24 VDC regulated current flows to the control...

    another 002A DC Voltage regulator question

    something interesting about the former installation was the addition of maybe a resister between the 24v supply out of the regulator and grounded to the buss bar frame mount. what was that for? not to worry it is gone now.

    Noob with gen set questions.

    have you added up your load to make sure you need a 10kw? there are still 002a and 003a gen sets out there also. most like low hours machines but i don't mind a machine with a couple of thousand hours on it either.
