Diesel Generators

I can visually see the electronic speed actuator moving in and out when this is happening. Should I replace the actuator or could it be something else. This is in a boat.

I would first replace the primary and secondary fuel filters. It could have a governor problem in the injector pump. The fuel transfer pump may be bad (not keeping the injector pump body fully charged). The "actuator", actually may be the run/kill solenoid. If so, some have two windings, a "pull in" and a "hold". Check to see if voltage is constant on the hold winding when it is running. Most generators that I have seen and worked on, have a fixed throttle setting on the injector pump.

we have a compressor that is connected to a 3-phase 30hp 230/460volt motor, we want to power it with a diesel generator. Which will be placed approx. 300ft away

The generator will need to produce approximately 23Kw and with a 25% surge factor, you will need approximately a 30Kw generator.
A typical commercial generator with this output has around 100 HP.

we are using 1000kva generator, for our plant, it is driven by diesel engine which consumes 250 gallons minimum daily….pls answer me is there any option for reducing diesel consumption, ans also we have 200 kva generator for small accomodation purpose.

can u use this 200kva generator instead of 1000 kva bu placing stepup transformer and then stepdown to normal voltage,,,is there any possibility like that..pls answer me…

OR is there any thing which drives 1000kva generator without diesel consumption…….

u cant use 200kva instead of 1000kva.. eventhough u use stepup transfrmr, u couldnt meet the required load demand with that 200kva generator
