GENERATORS AND OTHER INFO

TERMINOLOGY & DEFINITIONS

• Air Cleaner: A device to filter incoming combustion air at the entrance to the combustion air passage.Very important factor in the life expectancy of a diesel motor. ADG only uses high quality industrial grade air filtration devices.
• Air-Cooled Engine: An engine that is cooled by means of air being forced around the heated parts of the engine by a fan or vanes on some rotating engine component.
• Alternating Current: Most households and businesses utilize AC current. It is defined as a current which reverses in regularly recurring intervals of time and which has positive and negative values, and occurring a specified number of times per second. The number of cycles per second is expressed in hertz values - 60-cycles is common in the United States and 50-cycles is common in Europe and many other parts of the world.
• Alternator: A device for converting mechanical energy into alternating current electrical energy. It may be called an AC or synchronous generator - brush or brushless type.
• Ammeter: An instrument for measuring the magnitude of an electrical current (Amps).
• Apparent Power (kVA): A term used to describe the product of current and voltage, expressed in kilovolt amperes (KVA). The apparent power in KVA multiplied by the power factor (PF) is the real power in kilowatts (KW).
• Auto Transfer Switch: A switch designed to sense the loss of one power source and automatically transfer the power load (utility electricity) to another source of power source (generator power). Please Note: These devices should always be installed by a qualified licensed electrician. Incorrect installation can cause a back-feed situation and cause death or injury to someone or damage to electrical devices.
• Auxilliary Fuel Pump: A pump used to transfer fuel from remote storage tanks to the engine.
• Continuous Power: Power recommended by the manufacture for satisfactory operation under the manufacturer's specified continuous duty conditions - usually meaning operation with a constant, non-varying load. Most quality industrial rated generators are designed for continuous duty output at a stated level.
• Decibel (dB): One-tenth of a bel. A unit of measurement of noise level in which the faintest sound we can hear , called the threshold of hearing is O dB, and the loudest sound the humand ear can tolerate, called the threshold of pain is 140 dB. Ultra super quiet generators operate in the 50 dBA range, super quiet generators operate in the 62-68 range, and quiet generators operate in the 70dBA to 75dBA range.
• Delta Connection: A method of connecting the phases of a 3-phase generator in series to form a triangular connection, resembling the Greek letter delta. A delta connection will normally result in a 1/3 reduction of power when two legs of a 3-phase system are used to provide single-phase or 120/240 volts (standard home or business electrical power). Double Delta wiring configuration is used to maximize the single-phase output when using a 12-lead generator system. Please Note: ADG provides our customers with accurate single-phase KW ratings in our product descriptions.
• Four-Cycle Engine: A reciprocating internal combustion engine that requires four pistion strokes to complete a power cycle (Intake, Compression, Combustion, and Exhaust).
• Frequency: The number of complete cycles of an alternating voltage or current per unit of time, expressed in hertz (hz), cycles per second. The United States, Canada, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean use 60hz (hertz) power, and most of Africa, Asia, South America, Europe, and the Middle-East use 50hz power. On a generator system 60hz power is generated with a 1800rpm engine speed and 50hz power is generated with a 1500rpm engine speed. An 1800rpm/60hz engine recalibrated to 1500rpm/50hz will normally de-rate approximately 20%.which will lower the generator output by the same factor.
• Fuel Injector: A device that introduces a metered quanity of fuel to the combustion chamber.
• Governor, Electric: A governor that senses prime mover (engine) speed by means of a magnetic pick-up or by sensing the frequency of the generator output. The governor then uses an electrical controller to determine the correct fuel or throttle setting to maintain prime mover and therefore electrical output.
• Hertz (Hz): A unit of frequency or cycles per second. Standard USA hertz/frequency is at 60-cycles. Europe is standard at 50-cycles. Please Note: ADG designs generator systems that perform at either hertz cycle or at adjustible hertz levels. ADG ships gensets world-wide.
• Injection Pump: The device which meters the fuel and delivers it under pressure to the injector or injection nozzle.
• Kilowatt: Real electrical power rating (1000 watts).
• Liquid-Cooled Engine: An engine that is cooled by means of liquid coolant circulated about the heated parts of the engine. The coolant is then passed through a radiator or heat exchanger where it in turn is cooled and then recirculated to the engine.
• Naturally Aspirated: Engine combustion air flow system not assisted by artificial means such as a supercharger or turbocharger.
• Oil-Cooled Engine: An engine that is cooled by means of the lubrication oil circulated about the heated parts of the engine and passed through a radiator device which is cooled by an engine driven fan system. Oil cooling has certain advantages: 1) Oil boils at 392 degrees F and gels at -40 degrees F and does not increase in volume. 2) Oil does not oxidize nor corrode the engines internal components. 3) Oil can effectively lubricate and provide proper heat exchange up to 356 degrees F. 4) Oil-cooled design reduces overall engine noise levels. (ADG has a developed a new Kubota air-oil cooled diesel portable designed for severe duty high heat environments. Generators are available in 50hz & 60hz single-phase and three-phase models).
• PTO-Driven Generator: An electric generator so constructed that the rotor is driven by a power take- off (PTO) on a farm tractor. Any two-bearing generator can normally be adapted to operate via a belt or PTO drive system.
• Standby Power: The power supply that is selected to furnish electric energy when the normal power supply is disrupted. Generator output KW ratings are normally higher for standby applications than for prime and continuous duty applications.
• Voltage Regulator: A device, either internal or external, which automatically controls the voltage output of a generator at its specific rated value.
• WYE Connection: A method of interconnecting the phases of a 3-phase generator system to form a configuration resembling the letter Y, such that one end of each of the windings is connected to a common point (the neutral point) and the other end to its appropriate line terminal. Same as Star connection.

STEP #1: Identify the appliances and tools you consider essential and will use frequently.

STEP #2: Determine the wattage for each appliance and tool you plan to use frequently.

STEP #3: Total wattage for appliances and tools you frequently use = ____watts.

STEP #4: Identify motor and pump requirements from the motor HP chart below.

STEP #5: Calculate the wattage for each motor and pump you plan to use frequently.

STEP #6: Total wattage for motors and pumps you frequently use = ____watts.

STEP #7: Total wattage for appliances and tools and motors and pumps = ____watts.

STEP #8: Divide total wattage by 1000 to determine KW requirements ____KW.

STEP #9: Select a generator with a KW rating that approximates your needs ____KW.

Electric motors present special electrical startup considerations. They can require up to three (3) times their rated wattage to start. Example: An electric motor name plate states 5 amps at 120 volts or 5 amps x 120 volts = 600 watts. Multiplied by a factor of 3 illustrates a startup wattage requirement of 1800 watts (3 x 600 watts = 1800 watts). Some motor name plates will show starting watts as high as 9x times the running watts. Check the name plate to be sure. Always use starting watts, not running watts, when figuring correct electrical load requirements. Motor load requirements are listed below:

Pump HP Rating		Externally Regulated Generator			Internally Regulated Generator
		Min. KW	Min. KVA		Min. KW	Min. KVA
1/3		1.5	1.9		1.2	1.5
1/2		2.0	2.5		1.5	1.9
3/4		3.0	3.8		2.0	2.5
1		4.0	5.0		2.5	3.125
1 1/2		5.0	6.25		3.0	3.8
2		7.5	9.4		4.0	5.0
3		10.0	12.5		5.0	6.25
5		15.0	18.75		7.5	9.4
7 1/2		20.0	25.0		10.5	12.5
10		30.0	37.5		15.0	18.8
NOTES:	It is recommended that the generator be started before the pump motor is turned on. Majority of industrial generators are externally regulated. Generators must be sized to deliver at least 65% ofthe rated voltage during motor starting to ensure adequate motor starting torque. Industrial generators typically produce 300+ percent of rated capacity for 15-20 seconds during electrical surges. To convert KW into watts multiply KW (x) 1000.
