Motor - Generator question
At a local plant, there once was a computer center. The room was fed
with a motor generator to provide clean power to it. I made an inquiry and the unit might be available. It has been years since I saw it, but it was a motor, probably 480 3ph, driving a generator with a large flywheel between them. Any reason not to pursue it? Were the old mainframes run off of anything other than 60Hz AC? I am sure that it was a top quality unit when installed. I am hoping that it would be a upgrade over the ST15 generator run by my 16-2 Lister CS. I am working at getting in there to inspect it. Bob |
