Coleman generator Motor

How to I fix problem when my coleman generator motor runs, but there is no electricity at the recepticales?


This is a portable 1500 watt generator

it should have a reset switch try that first if that doesn't work check the wire connections to the receptacle

Is Troy-Built a better generator than a Coleman?


I want to purchase a 5500 watt generator for my home for the upcomming hurricane season but I want to spend under $1000 for the generator. I was told a Coleman generator does not have good quality and Home Depot is selling the Coleman generators with Briggs & Stratton motor. Lowe's is selling the Troy-Built generators. I had a chance to buy a Honda powered Coleman generator but was leary of the Coleman generator quality. Can anyone out there with generator knowledge enlighten me on whats good and bad?

Coleman generators don't have lower quality alternators. The Troy-Bilt Generator is assembled by Briggs and Stratton who also make Craftsman Generators. Colemans 5500 watt unit could be a Chinese built unit. Be careful.

The customer returns on the Colemen generators are much higher compared to Briggs built generators at Home Depot.

Home Depot also sells a 5500 watt Briggs built generator called the Wheel House which is easy to move and has a removable gas tank for easy filling.

Troy-Bilt tillers are manufactured by someone else. It is a "leased" brand name.

Good luck.

    ONE FACTOR WIND TURBINE COMPANIES WILL NEVER TALK ABOUT, IS THE AMOUNT OF “JUICE IT TAKES TO KEEP JUST ONE TURBINE OPERATING”

    Before reading this I ask you, why is it we have to pay for the “JUICE” we use and the Wind Turbine Companies do not? Now think about it, subtract what they use from what they produce, then really how much “JUICE DO THEY PRODUCE”. Ask any Wind Turbine Company that question, either they do not know or they will not tell you, why? Now do the math for each project.

    Energy consumption in wind facilities

    Large wind turbines require a large amount of energy to operate. Other electricity plants generally use their own electricity, and the difference between the amount they generate and the amount delivered to the grid is readily determined. Wind plants, however, use electricity from the grid, which does not appear to be accounted for in their output figures. At the facility in Searsburg, Vermont, for example, it is apparently not even metered and is completely unknown [click here].* The manufacturers of large turbines — for example, Vestas, GE, and NEG Micon — do not include electricity consumption in the specifications they provide.

    Among the wind turbine functions that use electricity are the following:†s
    yaw mechanism (to keep the blade assembly perpendicular to the wind; also to untwist the electrical cables in the tower when necessary) — the nacelle (turbine housing) and blades together weigh 92 tons on a GE 1.5-MW turbine

    blade-pitch control (to keep the rotors spinning at a regular rate)

    lights, controllers, communication, sensors, metering, data collection, etc.

    heating the blades — this may require 10%-20% of the turbine's nominal (rated) power

    heating and dehumidifying the nacelle — according to Danish manufacturer Vestas, “power consumption for heating and dehumidification of the nacelle must be expected during periods with increased humidity, low temperatures and low wind speeds”

    oil heater, pump, cooler, and filtering system in gearbox

    hydraulic brake (to lock the blades in very high wind)

    thyristors (to graduate the connection and disconnection between generator and grid) — 1%-2% of the energy passing through is lost

    magnetizing the stator — the induction generators used in most large grid-connected turbines require a “large” amount of continuous electricity from the grid to actively power the magnetic coils around the asynchronous “cage rotor” that encloses the generator shaft; at the rated wind speeds, it helps keep the rotor speed constant, and as the wind starts blowing it helps start the rotor turning (see next item); in the rated wind speeds, the stator may use power equal to 10% of the turbine's rated capacity, in slower winds possibly much more

    using the generator as a motor (to help the blades start to turn when the wind speed is low or, as many suspect, to maintain the illusion that the facility is producing electricity when it is not,‡ particularly during important site tours) — it seems possible that the grid-magnetized stator must work to help keep the 40-ton blade assembly spinning, along with the gears that increase the blade rpm some 50 times for the generator, not just at cut-in (or for show in even less wind) but at least some of the way up towards the full rated wind speed; it may also be spinning the blades and rotor shaft to prevent warping when there is no wind§

    It may be that each turbine consumes more than 50% of its rated capacity in its own operation. If so, the plant as a whole — which may produce only 25% of its rated capacity annually — would be using (for free!) twice as much electricity as it produces and sells. An unlikely situation perhaps, but the industry doesn't publicize any data that proves otherwise; incoming power is apparently not normally recorded.

    Is there some vast conspiracy spanning the worldwide industry from manufacturers and developers to utilities and operators? There doesn't have to be, if engineers all share an assumption that wind turbines don't use a significant amount of power compared to their output and thus it is not worth noting, much less metering. Such an assumption could be based on the experience decades ago with small DC-generating turbines, simply carried over to AC generators that continue to metastasize. However errant such an assumption might now be, it stands as long as no one questions it. No conspiracy is necessary — self-serving laziness is enough.

    Whatever the actual amount of consumption, it could seriously diminish any claim of providing a significant amount of energy. Instead, it looks like industrial wind power could turn out to be a laundering scheme: “Dirty” energy goes in, “clean” energy comes out. That would explain why developers demand legislation to create a market for “green credits” — tokens of “clean” energy like the indulgences sold by the medieval church. Ego te absolvo.

    My grandfather used a captured German submarine engine to power his plantation machinery and factory (and incidentally, make us rich in the process)
