Thats the trouble, the washing machine spin cycle may cause probs at 60HZ, electric clocks would would ebb my life away quicker, microwave oven wont work at anything but exactly 50HZ. I dont know if flourecent lights are sensitive to HZ?
The other thing is, I dont know what the head would now be rated at in KVA now its had a drop in rpm.
I bought this set from a mate, late @ night by torch light! I didnt read enough of the plate on the gen head........just saw 7.5 KVA and thought "That will do nicely!"
The engine is rated @12hp @ 1500 or 16hp @ 1800, so it wont be short of power with this setup.
The Stamford head is a substantial bit of kit, massively built and with the sliprings double brushed..........maybe I could come to an arrangement with it and fine tune the rpm a bit just to creep the volts up...it now needs 54HZ to give me 240v, I just tried it.
Would I do more harm if I ran my appliances under voltage against over voltage? sorry for all the questions, but as an electrician, I make a good painter!
