Already have, though not in those words...my 'supervisor', who has been there 3 years, said they hardly ever pass the test. From what little I saw they seem to be well within the ratings. One time they did have the generator catch fire due to a 'foreign body' - apparently it looked like a Catherine wheel.Quote:

Hmm I found the following quote:
' the continuing push of the con. rod tended to smash the piston and sometimes punch its way out of the crankcase side. Railwaymen call this "putting a leg out of bed"'
But there's not really any pistons involved with this...
Sorry, got the wrong end of the stick, though you were working for Cummins ?
Yes I am. Oh I see, the generators are tested with an induction motor not an engine.Quote:

Ahh fair enough ... I probably should have known that!
