Ĭheck the torque and power curves on car engines today as opposed the past. It takes something like an old Caterpillar RD6, huge bore, long stroke, lots of iron to generate a lot of torque at low RPM, and the required horsepower. And, the saga continues to include engine power and torque curves. Put in 6 poles, and you can run it at 1200. If you buy an industrial quality generator, like a high-priced Onan (Cummins), Kohler, etc, it will have 4 poles and run at 1800 to get 60 Hz. 2 poles must rotate at 3600 RPM to get 60 hz. Add more poles (more complex core material, more complex wiring, potentially more rotor balance concerns, higher labor costs.all that stuff), and the engine can run slower, as has already been noted.

The welding side of the Trailblazer looks to be full inverter which explains why it can run at a variety of RPM'sĪs Franz and Fix already said earlier, frequency at a give RPM is simply based upon the number of poles in the generator. It might be that the Excel option is an efficient way to idle the engine and still provide clean 60Hz power for lower power requirements while retaining the energy and cost efficient, not to mention reliable, method to deliver full power capability of a traditional electro-mechanical machine. Excel power - available only from Miller.My take on it is a bit different than Franz's though. Plus everyone on the jobsite gets a better working environment because noise levels and exhaust emissions are lowered. Refueling time and operating costs are reduced with Excel power, which means more productivity and profitability. With Excel power you can operate jobsite tools like grinders at quiet, fuel-saving speeds. Unlike competitive machines that provide auxiliary power only at 3,600 rpm (max), Excel power delivers a full 2,400 watts (20 A) of 120-volt inverter-based, pure sine wave power at 2,400 rpm while not welding. It's almost building one of them inverturd welders.Įxcel™ power (option) Power at idle - a Miller exclusive. As the situation stands, you gotta convert whatever frequency to DC and then convert that DC to a stable 60hz just like Honda does. At 1800 it could produce 30hz electrons and my thinking is a doubler would be easy to build to deliver 60hz. You want something to be disappointed aboot(C) consider the additional piston trips to idle that machine at 2400rpm. I wouldn't be shocked if some old Revenue Cutter rider could find a plan and sell kits to make the boxes. Probably still a few stations making 25hz and converting it.

He!! America consumed train loads plus ship loads of 60hz power that left generators as 25hz power. In the age of digital electronics inputting 40hz and pulling 60hz out of a box is probably a walk in the park, and a good income product for a company thatmisrepresented a machine, not that I'm saying Supergianttransglobal and ocean front would ever do such.

įar be it from me to criticize young women recently graduated from Enginincompoop School working to balance a BIG company EEOC chart till they can find a fool to marry who will pay their student loan, but it looks to me like the excel thing is another of the long series of "we really screwed that, lets call the fix an accessory" and hope for bonuses. It just does not have the hardware to perform like you want it to - no amount of reprogramming can fix missing hardware. I'm not sure what an "excel outlet" is - could you explain?Īre you still within the return period on this machine? I can understand being disappointed, however if this was your expectation/requirement, it would be pretty easy to determine that this machine wouldn't meet that before you bought it. I'd bet that if you took your multimeter and looked at the A/C frequency on the 120v outlets at 2400 RPM, you'd find that it's 40Hz instead of 60Hz when its at 3600 RPM. A cell phone charger will take in almost anything "AC" and spit out 5v dc to charge a phone.

Looking at the schematic of the newest serial number, The welder is inverter based, however the welder gets it's power from the generator which is a simple electromechanical machine so RPM = frequency.Ī cell phone charger plugged into one of the generator outlets is not likely enough of a draw (through CT1 and into PC3 Main Control Board) to trigger the engine to kick up off the 2400 RPM idle.
