Yeah. If you use an inverter setup, you can run the generator full
out, which is generally more efficient than at low load, and avoids
wet stacking though if you are doing heat recovery from the
exhaust, you are intentionally inducing wet stacking -- hopefully just
not in the valve seats... J
Hi Zeke,
If you calculate the relative power per wattage of single and
three-phase motors, there will be a slight advantage to 3-phase. The
value of 3-phase motors also extends to their better torque and
start-load characteristics and lack of starting capacitor(s) to
maintain. I would base my s
Are the three phase motors really more efficient? Or are they just
lower amperage, but the same wattage? The formula for calculating
three phase power, instead of being V*A*PF is V(line to
line)*A*1.732*PF, I believe.

i want to set up a small diesel generator to run my milking parlor and use the
engine heat to supply the hot water. Since the pumps and refrigeration are my
biggest load, but are only on for a few hours a day, i was thinking a 3 phase

Try Utterpower.com it is a very interesting site
