Somebody stop me before my wife kills again! I just won a GSA auction for a 400 Hz/60 Hz 25kVA motor generator set. I'm not sure whether it eats 400 Hz or 60 Hz. Regardless, in a perfect world I can hook a diesel to the end shaft and spin it. In a really perfect world, both the 400 Hz and 60 Hz machines are synchronous, and both can be generators. 400 Hz will drive resistive loads (like my furnace elements) just fine.
In a sucky world it's a 400 Hz generator hooked to a 60 Hz induction motor, and there's no end stub to couple to. In that case, maybe I strip out the meters etc. and feed it to the scrapyard. It was $125, and weighs 2600#. Anybody know anything about Kurz and Root MD-3's? About all I know is that it's a 1200 RPM unit. -- Jim
