Yes, simple to clean and inspect. I own GMG. You can buy a small replacement screen and gasket which is a good idea, but cleaning the one in the unit has a 50/50 chance of being good. Some elbow grease and clean diesel is all you need and some good brushes. Compressed air is needed to blow out...
What is Gentac? Generac? Here is the Costco product I believe you are referring to: http://www.costco.com/Generac-17%2c500W-Portable-Generator-with-Electric-Start-and-20%E2%80%99-Cord.product.100170777.html
This is a max rating of 17,500! If you tried to run this unit anywhere near that for 30...
Agreed. Do not oversize your generator as you will simply burn too much fuel and run out of gas on day 1 of a 5 day outage...An aux fuel supply is key.
Never said that 3 phase heaters didn't exist! Part of this original thread related to a 3 phase tool with motor where PF is important to take into consideration...FYI, you can find *anything* on the web;-) The MEP002A and MEP003A are rated at a power factor of .8.
Oh, I forgot one critical thing. The master breaker in the Distribution Box. This breaker is the true limiting agent in the MEP002A or MEP003A units. It can easily handle a 50 amp continuous draw, so the system will allow a 50 amp load on the system. These units can easily manage a 133% rated...
3-phase power is rarely associated with resistive loads. Usually electric motors are associated with 3-phase power needs and are usually inductive loads, so power factor is critical in calculating requirements. I think your conclusion is wrong. You can easily push these units to 40+ amps at 208...
3-phase power, AC, assuming MEP003A can output 12.5kW continuously, power factor of .8, leads to 43A. This is very close to 50A. This assumes line voltage of 208v. For any specialized application, knowing the exact application and electrical motor specs would be needed. Most motors can run at...
James,
Bob here from GMG. I respect your opinion. But I need to defend my company and what we do. Your posting here is a fragment and somewhat confusing. We spent a fair amount of time talking on the phone and I truly believe I answered all of your questions. The post here is confusing as...
Our modest HQ is in Halifax, VT on the MA border. Appointment only. We have a few vendors we work with to refurb units, rebuild injection pumps, acquire parts, etc. One of our main partners is Melton Sales & Service in NJ. We also drop-ship from that location. We choose our partners with...
Bob here from Green Mountain Generators. I own this modest company;-) I love this forum and Smokstak as well. I thoroughly respect the opinions of everyone on the forum. GMG has acquired 100's of MEP-002A and MEP-003A units at auction. The reality is that the average cost of a unit (any...
