I love the sound of a big engine on load. This certainly made me smile. Took me back to a time when I oversaw the maintenance of back up generators at a satellite earth station. We had a pair of 1.5MW Caterpillar V16 diesels. The sound they made under full load was primordial! Great job.
i believe that is the sound of the throttle going wide open. that's what happens with mechanical governors on the small briggs and honda gensets i'm used to.
I worked at a alfalfa pellet mill that ran 5 and 6 of these engines. They were great. The took more abuse and dirt than any engine should and kept running. Very easy to rebuild.
Customer reports "there's a bug in the generator, she's down on power" New tech: "I'll get the software update for the control ECU" Old School Tech: "I'll clean the stink bugs out of the gas line"
Awesome Mike 👍 got 7 Volvo Penta engined 450KVA units at work. 99.999% of all larger generators over here are diesel. That thing is a beauty to behold, what a wonderful beast. Got that governor spot on💪
This is what a proper, good-old-fashioned North American industrial engine looks like. No BS, made to run every day and not complain about it, because what if you've got a dozen of these running some remote northern hospital? "Downtime" is not really a word in the vocabulary up there, or anyplace else where 100% uptime is totally critical. Watercooled manifolds too man, what an engine!
Your attention to detail is an absolute marvel to watch in a world full of idiots. I worked around several professionals in several different fields in my working years.Your work is a true joy to witness.
Took AAAAALL THE LOADS on stride, what a beast. Good job, guys. Looking forward to new adventures(machines). Generally I hate messing with anything putting out more than 12V DC but you make it all easier to understand.
Excellent to finally see a big load test on this beautiful beast! She ran like a sewing machine. A very loud, glorious, sewing machine. Nice job on the rebuild! She was definitely worth saving.
'A few bugs to iron out'...but not the sort of bugs you were expecting🤣 Been looking forward to this video Mike. After the first low load test run at your house with lack of gas flow, this full load test was a great result👍🇦🇺
All the pizza places and home heat went off in area at 90kw. I had stink bugs mess up so much stuff. Mice and bugs both keep us busy... Sounds like a 3408 CAT v8 . Awesome genset. Onan the best!
Glad you were able to get that generator debugged! 😂😂😂 You can really hear it when load hits that sucker too! Corrected and shrugged off all that like it was nothing. I'm glad that genset ended up in your hands and given some love instead of melted down for scrap. It really is a thing of beauty.
I'll have to keep that excuse in mind next time I lose a race... "Stink bugs blocking up my carburetor" 😀 It's nice to see a classic machine that's been renovated a bit and is still up to performing its task.
Pretty impressive Mike! (once you got the bugs sorted out) literally! lol Good to see you happy and smiling with 363 Amps on it! Top notch job getting it going again. Thanks for sharing
Great to this monster back on the channel again. It sounds so good running and it just purred like a lion lol when you got the stink bugs out of the carb intake. Your are so good at your job because you truly enjoy working on these. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife!!
Interesting engine design , with the intake and exhaust on the same side of the cyl head, like an inline design, very functional and clean and heavy, built to last.
@@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002, I was thinking the same thing and at 72 years of age I definitely Do Not qualify as a boomer. It is nearly impossible to find anything that is built to last as things were 40 years ago.
The school where I worked has a 884 in the basement for emergency power. When I first saw it, my jaw dropped. Looks a lot like a car V-8 but much bigger!! (And the inside exhaust piping.) "Mine" had been adapted to natural gas. As I recall, it was not maintained regularly and did not always start in our too-frequent power outages. Thanks for the look!
I guess you've had this generator for a long time now, and it's good to hear and see it doing what it was born to do. The only problem now is, that pretty much wraps it up for this one? Of course, you could take it home and use it to power your 20' Christmas tree! - I bet that would impress the folk next door.😆😊😇
It sure does have a bark and would sound really nice through a 20 foot straight pipe along side a building in the middle of the night. I had a lot of trouble hearing you talk with volume all the way up and through headphones. Hope all is all right. Thanks and GBWYall!
this video is actually a pretty good demonstration as to why it is important to have a UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) that conditions the power instead of just passing line voltage through when powering sensitive electronics (like a data switch, telephone system, servers) with a generator. The generator takes a moment to get up to speed when starting and compensating for large load adjustments (low voltage wrong frequency for that time) over voltage high frequency before the throttle can back off, under voltage etc. until things finally settle down. A generator never really truly runs clean. Spurious voltage spikes etc. Earlier this month, a customer of mine tested their generator. Blew out the UPS that was powering a data switch that ran their wireless IP DECT telephone handsets. It was a care home environment where the nurses required the handsets for patient care. In this case it was easy to plug the data switch directly into mains power to bypass the faulty UPS than to source a replacement data switch and then find a guy to program for the appropriate Vlans etc.
Back in the late 2000's, I was talking with a Telco tech that had helped put in cell service in the area I was in - pretty much same issue. They tried to run the towers off of generators, but couldn't maintain reliability. All the issues went away when they ran line power to the towers. I'd say it was mostly due to the frequency variation, since most modern supplies can handle a wide range of voltages. I know a guy that used to do grid tie systems, and one of their requirements was zero variation on the frequencies - which makes sense, you can't have the waveform all over the place or else you're going to have all kinds of issues. Also explains why home grid tie systems are generally based on inverter tech, waaaay tighter control of the sync.
Harmonic content of a larger generator like this one is low enough to be considered high quality power. Usually well under 5% THD. I measure it with a Fluke 41b meter. The newer Fluke is the 43b. The generator transfer switch controller has a lot to do with issues such as switching back to utility power too soon. That will be very dirty power for minutes after return as motor and compressor starting loads stabilize. The sized right gen set should be very clean provided the load power factor is decent and the load is not a lot of variable frequency drives.
@@RadioNJ1948 Help me understand.... I think you are saying the transfer switch controller is (can be) set to keep the critical loads on the generator for a period of time (5 minutes?) after the mains power has been restored to a building in order to avoid dirty mains power immediately after restoration? Can the transfer switch controller be set to delay connection of the load to the generator until after it is up and running on a stable voltage and frequency? Is there anything in the transfer switch controller that will synchronize the frequency between mains and the generator?
Good string machine! That electronic governor is doing a great job. Much better than the old mechanical one would. The naturally aspirated engine helps with no turbo lag. You would have liked the power plant I built for Bradley International Airport in CT years ago. 5 Megawatts. 3 x 12 cylinder Waukesha nat gas generators @1200 kW ea, 1 16=cylinder Waukesha @ 1500 kW. They ran 24/7/365 providing all of the electricity, heat and cooling for the airport.
That test took place at Power Equipment Company behind Denton Vacuum. I am an RF engineer and have worked on the cell tower that’s there. Really nice job on that gen set, it is a “beast”. Enjoy your videos. Happy holiday!
Hi Mike. Great work. It was great to see you on Micks livestream on Saturday. I worked on the DC side of standby power for many years. Mostly 5000 amps +or-. Say hi to RK when you see him next.
I don't know anything about gas supply. But about 40 years ago I helped dismantle a small glass works shop in Long Island City New York. They had a lot of mostly small burners at the different work tables and machines. They actually ran their gas supply through a Roots blower, designed especially for gas, to increase the pressure. I wonder if anything like that was ever done to run the big gas engines?
Cool project ! Thanks for sharing. I liked the old fashioned debugging. The regulation seems to have some overshoot. Usually, increasing the derivative term of the PID can cure this.
WOOO!!!! I was wondering when that big boy was gonna be back...so cool! Big mamma jamma is so cool!!!! Running like a boss, seems like it could do that all day long with nary a worry...less the stinkbugs.

@@69uremum at 800+ cubes and near 2200 rpm for a couple hours isn't likely to have done much good. Perhaps a more significant concern is what effect might the aircleaner have had on governor response. Yes, I had not thought of that, I saw another post wondering.
@@walterk1221 ... tach? Did you mean that gauge in the box he kept picking up? That would be fuel pressure, which was actually low due to the long hose. (reading between 2-3) Normal would be near 6" of pressure. BTW, I worked on gen sets near 25 years and never saw one with a tach. They use the frequency gauge to set RPM.
There's a 90 KW genset at the chicken farm I used to work at. Straight 6 Cummins diesel engine is what it has. I kind of feel sorry for that generator since it rarely ever got used. It did get exercised once a month where it would come on and run for 20 minutes. When the company made us put in a backup generator, it was to power the entire Farm as if every single fan, feed line, and every motor was running. So even when the generator did get "exercised" every month, it was only ever running at 20% load, if that. It could probably go for a good, real exercising. When you consider there's 2-4 out of a dozen fans running per Barn, and 3 barns at a time maybe. The feed lines don't run constantly and chances are they may or may not kick on but that's just one more half horse motor. Not a whole lot of work for a big genset like that.
