Petteroids / AVA1 generator in UK
« on: January 13, 2008, 10:15:41 AM »
Greetings everybody,
I have just been introduced to this forum, my initial impression is very favorable. There are a lot of dedicated people on here.
This is my genset, a 1951 Petter AVA1 with an Alco alternator.
The large alternator is used for starting the set as well as for generating 230 volts 50 Hz.
I'm doing some tests on it to enable me to make it a stable backup power supply. I'll need to have better speed and voltage regulation for that. I want to make it into an automatic stop and start system too.
