Today at work

You must have 2 generators . 1 single and 1 3ph. Just in case????

Surly you’d just need one 3ph generator with a neutral to get single phase? Could be wrong though.

Yes. But there's 2 change over switches just wondered why when 1 x 3p+n would do the job.

Good point, I’ve no idea! Let’s wait for someone who knows what they are talking about to answer

Don't know the main question here but I've a 3phase generator that does single phase aswell if that helps

Made a bit more progress yesterday

New wall going up for French doors

All the rads out

Cleared all the rubble up

.....and couldn’t help myself, started on another wall

Back on the road Monday hopefully should be back at this on Tuesday

We where wonder why in @holwellcourtfarm post number #83216 there was a single and a 3ph generator input into the distribution board.

Don't think sparks like heavy loading 3ph sets on only one phase for long periods, but could be wrong.

 

[Yale]

There's always one!

Been bodging up an auger flight today.

The new bigger bearing on the end was 35mm wasn't it? @carbonfibre farmer

Thought I'd better check first!!

Blimey I've slept since I've seen you....!! Cant remember what I did yesterday
I'll go check

@the-mad-welder
This is what I'd scribbled in marker on the side of the combine sooooo......

35mm sounds right

Don't worry I shan't finish it till tomorrow, I'm at home now so no rush.

Loads of sorted out bolts and scrap for you to rummage through when you pick it up though!!

Lads aren't going to be late with the combine ...........

TBH I'm not sure! When the sparks was sorting out the quote for the insurers we discussed the setup. I said I'd like to be able to run the place from a generator in future when we have power cuts (typically get 1 every few years lasting a few days).

That's what he installed

The system is from Schneider, supposed to be quality kit. I'll just look out for a pto driven 3 phase 50+ amp and connect it as @Phil P posted.

This week I decided (following a trailer brake refurb posted in another thread) that it was time I did something about the broken brake cable on our Ifor Williams LM146. When the first drum came off it became a full refurb

Very rusty backplate, bottom shoe de-laminated, adjuster seized.....

A friend with all the toys agreed to shotblast and powder coat the backplates for us, I freed and cleaned the adjusters and fitted a full new shoe and spring kit, 4 new cables and a new breakaway safety cable. £200 well spent

Should be good for another 25 years now

That's gonna be a spare......Not even going on.

Only taken 2 yrs to get round to it
