Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
I adjusted the governor speed on my generator and got a much better voltage. Cycles were a little under 60 before adjusting and now show up as 62 or 63 hz. at 120-125 volts no load. Under AC load from my RV voltage stays well above 110. It was 95 to 100 here today and my RV was in full sun and the compressor was kicking off and on. It's an old unit so probably needs serviced or replaced(yech). A lesson I am learning is that all the plugs you find are sorry excuses for electrical plugs. The pigtail I bought to adapt to my camper plug has huge gaps in the blades on the female end.(Brand new adapter. I made some quick bending adjustments but I know the real answer is to go buy good components and make up my own.373Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
I picked up one of the Homier 4000w gensets a month or so back and got to use it for the first time this past weekend. I found that my AC wasn't dealing well with it and a 12V power supply for amatuer radio was not doing real well either(voltage would drop below 12V under load. I checked the output on the genset and am only getting 109 at best with no load. I called Homier and they suggested adjusting the governor to speed up the engine. A couple of questions. Is this ok?? and does anyone know if these genertors use inverters to get the AC or what? Thanks for the help.298Views0likes0Comments
