Good morning gents.
Was reading through this post and thinking sensing wire and avr, but some one beat me to it. I have built quite a few generators and converted a few from single to three phase and the reverse (if possible, some are only single) so no big deal. All good that it's working now. Just one point regarding capacity. Generally the alternator is rated above that of the engine, so the 'set' is engine limited and not alternator (due to thermal and ambient conditions) that is true if the alternator hasen't been replaced with a smaller version. For example a Stanford alternator fitted generating set that will produce 11kva will probably have a 15kva H class alternator. So effectively you can get 10kva single phase out of it no trouble
