My first post ever.....
I've been working on generators for the last 18 years. I am Onan factory trained, we are dealers for mulitple OEM's. We work on anything from 1000Watt to 2Megawatt. As a general rule, gensets require 1.5HP for every 1,000 Watts produced. That being said, most major OEM's exceed this rule in order to provide a stable, balanced genset when it is called to perform under full load. No OEM exceeds the 2HP per 1000 Watt rule, that would wasteful.
Great discussion on a troublesome topic. Professor, you did some nice work here, I must comment that your observations are solid.
God bless free enterprise!
