I have an op to aqired 115V * 90KVA genset. which runs at 400hz
I did some searching and basically understand the issues trying to get 50 or
60hz
from it, ie not really worth the effort.
However I'm thinking of taking the output => convert to DC => feed to
Inverter to get
mains Voltage @ 50/60 hz.
The unit is old and has a 6 cyl detroit diesel. I'm hoping to use the heat
from it
to heat the pool and the inverter to power the pool pump and maybe the house
in a blackout.
The idea is to run on WVO. Since I don't need anything like 90KVA I'm
thinking of running at lower revs.
From my searches I'll guess at this time that it runs at 2400rpm (but I
could be wrong) If I ran it at say 1200 rpm,
could it produce enough to feed an inverter?
Should I worry about batteries in the system? (i'd prefer not to).
or maybe I could I just run a couple of immersion heater elements (eg from
hot water services) directly from the 400hz?
& buy a small backup genset for blackouts.
Anyone else making use of 400hz gensets?
Appreciate any thoughts.
