Default MILLIVOLT generator

Is that 583 MV open circuit? What brand are you using now? I haven't
messed much with MV systems in more years than I'd lke to admit. We
quit working on wall furnaces about 8-9 years ago, and floor furnaces
before that. Back when we worked with them, we used General Controls
PG9. They were rated at 750. I don't remember checking the actual
output, but don't recall ever having a problem with them. I am
looking in a Johnstone catalog right now (last year's tho). They have
them and several others, though the PG9 is the only one that is the
complete assembly. The others are generator cartridges that must be
installed in the pilot burner.
What exactly are you working on and what is it doing? I remember a
lot of floor furnaces and a few wall heaters that originally had
PG1's (250 MV). I would think nearly 600MV would be adequate for most
any MV system. What kind of GV you got? Larry


Good luck. General Controls stopped some years back. You're stuck with
Honeywell or White Rogers replacements. And those replacements are 500 mv
generators. Sorry.
