Nice! I'm curious why you put the ST on the crankcase door side of the engine.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Re: Changfa 195 lazy governor

The 195 is rated at 13.4 HP at 2200 rpm. Since you're running it at 1800 rpm, the available HP drops by approximately the ratio of 1800/2200, which works out to about 11 HP. Assuming 75% efficiency for the ST head, at 6 kW it'll need about 10.7 HP. In other words, 6 kW represents about full rated load for the engine. Dropping from 61 to 57 Hz is about a touch over 6%, which seems pretty reasonable. I can't think of any loads in the typical house that would have trouble with that.
Voltage droop may be another story, though....
