All this power
talk I thought I would mention that the surplus yard at UC
Irvine has a couple huge old motor generator sets, that I am guessing will
go for scrap value. Each motor, or generator part is about the size of
adog, so memory tells me maybe 25 kw.
Interesting unit of measure to apply to a motor.
What else do you know about these MGs? 60 Hz? 400 Hz? DC?
I haven't even read the panels, but I can guess from others that they are
25kw of 60 hz 120 vac. (might be 240 3 phase, but that would be extra
guessing).
Hoping to avoid more confusion, these are chassis about 8 feet long with a
big motor on one end shaft coupled to a big generator on the other, and
primarily they serve to isolate computers from dirty power.
