    REMOTE START / STOP FOR LVR MOTOR CONTROLLER FIRE PUMP

    This is a marine application, if I am reading the original post correctly.

    Dual Fuel Generation

    My (limited) experience in the power generation industry has been that "gas" = gaseous fuels (natural gas, propane etc.) and that "gasoline" = liquid fuels sold as gasoline (gasoline, E10, etc.)

    Looking for Mini breaker with aux contacts

    More information may yield a useful answer. AC or DC? Voltage? Define "mini"

    380V/60HZ/3PH POWER SUPPLY

    More useful answers might result if the OP will state exactly what "said machine" is.

    Arcing fault at 480/277V panelboard, overcurrent protection, and grounding

    What were the weather conditions at the time of the incident?

    240 supply voltage harmoniser for domestic property 100A

    Another thought- "Recalibrate" the EMI meter to show a significant drop in level and see if the placebo effect comes in to play. The human mind is a wonderful thing, if a person thinks they should feel better they often will.

    PV backfeeding the grid

    I respectfully disagree. A typical 15kVA 7200 to 120/240 transformer will happily produce 7200V as long as there is no significant load on the line when a 2kW generator is connected to half of the secondary.

    Testing Diode on an Alternator

    +1 for what waross wrote.

    Hello. Some help please

    Please define "disconnect it without having to use a screwdriver or any other tool" (a) you want to be able to unplug the connectors from each other. (b) you want to remove the connector from the wires. I suggest a search for "SD20 2pin Waterproof Connector" if the former.

    re-coil a electric motor

    @waross- well put.

    transition starter from star to delta

    A helper and pair of 2-way radios can often make it practical.

    I have a need for a 1000kw electric

    Random thoughts follow- I would not want to be in a position that relied on a UPS to allow use of "an emergency generator". Your gas supplier may tell you that drawing 12000 cubic feet per hour with said booster pump will not be possible due to infrastructure limitations. When you need fuel...

    Denny's Sign Failure Elizabethtown, KY 1/23/23

    If there was a significant investigation into that event, I have not been able to find out about it.

    I have a need for a 1000kw electric

    That set requires 100~400kPa of gas pressure, which the OP does not have. (edit removed reference to the engine input pressure of 7~9 kPa)

    I have a need for a 1000kw electric

    My off the cuff thought is to consult with the gas company; tell them you will need about 12000 cubic feet per hour, and then decide if it makes more sense to obtain a diesel fueled set.

    Pump Search - Small, Manual, Positive Displacement

    Maybe make your own with a small hydraulic cylinder as used in RC models etc.

    Can we start an ID fan motor 700 kW 690 Vac direct on line?

    Good luck. To me, "lots of problem" is reason to consider looking for a different VSD manufacturer after this crisis has been resolved.

    Load Testing of GTGs at offshore

    FWIW, most load banks are transportable.

    four switch inverter as driver for three phase induction motor

    Claiming no expertise, I will venture a guess that the phrase "...The output of the 3 phase should use 6 IGBTs..." defines the root cause of your issue.

    Heating in isolation transformer

    Please define "overheating". Do you know the temperature rise rating of the transformer?
