Run time on generator

[grsthegreat]

Then you've never had any freq droops or spikes.

I have a real time monitor program called Genmon. It shows me real time parameters. I can watch the freq only move like 0.5 up and down during load shifts. I went with the largest air cooled unit so I would not have to worry about overloaded generator. When I first added the software I used to monitor it during a long outage.....dont really do that anymore.

Heres an old screen

That's pretty sweet. My old Winco doesn't have that thus the current shunt and transducers. I monitor line voltage with an LED that I have installed in my kitchen and tied to the top of my disconnect. Not a readout but it tells me when the power is back on.

i added a set of current transformers on the generator feed lines to get true readings.

i can see it on my ipad or desktop or phone with the app. it also texts me when generator changes state (ie if there is an error or fault message, if power to house is lost, if power is restored, if gen is running, if propane get below 20% in tank, etc.)
