Has anyone developed a circuit to monitor the output voltage and kill the generator if it varies outside of preset limits?
I'm concerned about using MEP-003 to power my house and then have a VR failure which fries all my expensive loads.
I'm thinking of an external circuit which monitors the voltage and using a relay to open the DC buss if it varies beyond voltage limits.
I realize governor/frequency control would also cause havoc but I tend to think the mechanical governor will wear/fail gradually. Where as the electrical components in the VR circuit can fail immediately.
Anyone have any ideas or is this really not a concern now that I have it repaired?
