Ronnie,

Something ain't right here. Is this a direct-driven generator? Belt-driven off a pulley?? Diesel engines are governed to run at a specific RPM. Most smaller genset engines are governed to either 1800 or 3600 RPM. Larger diesels are governed at 1200 or even slower depending on size/HP. You can't take an 1800 RPM engine and force it to turn 3600--even if you override the governor, I believe it will come apart before you got to 3600 RPM. The same for the 3600 RPM engine--doubling the RPM will create a shrapnel grenade....With that being said, are you certain about RPM? Maybe a faulty tachometer?? If you don't have a good frequency meter, you can also use a phonograph and play a record--you'll hear the pitch of the music is off when the frequency is not at 60 hertz.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
