| generators and ac motors
i ahve been looking at 2 kw electric motors to run a watermaker i was looking at using a 3kw kipor generator to run as this will apparently just handle the startup current required of the motor, an electrical engineer friend of mine who works on the mines abd deals exclusively with generators reckons i need at least 4.5kww and reckons that while 3kw may work it will kill my motor quickly, now i dont want or have the money for a generator this larg has anyone got any ideas or real world info on this one sean |
