Excitation power (kW) on some generators can be calculated as the product of field voltage and current divided by an assumed factor for AC to DC conversion element losses and 1000 W/kW, and sometimes amounts to several hundred kW.
When the generator in question contains a brushless excitation...
My air compressor starts and charges the tank, but when pressure drops below the lower limit set point the motor will not start a second time until tank pressure decays sufficiently. The air compressor manufacturer suggests either the motor starting or running capacitor may be faulty. Both...
