Genny's

Hi All

Need help,

Someone in Spain who runs a restaurant and is not on the grid asked me if he could run 2 gennys in tandem, he wants 1 to use in the day and then switch the other in at night so he has more power. Having not dealt with a lot of gennys I couldn't help.
answers on a post card please

Unless you have got a switch board with synchronising equipment then the answer is NO as if you don't get both of them in phase and synchronised with one another then the will be one almighty bang when you connect them together

Why not get two different size gennys run the small one during the day and the big one at night via a changeover panel.
