thoughts on this Genny

[Mr J Morton]

hello

I'm looking for your general thoughts on this Generator.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110604266692&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:GB:1123

Is it a quality brand or cheap tat?

It would be used in farm buildings with no power. Is there anyway to convert it to run single phase?

If not this system any recommendations for a similar set-up with single phase as 3 phase is not a priority?

thanks for your help

Jon

its 27kva at 3 phase 415v or 9kva each phase if used at single phase 240v .looks quite decent . check the price against a new model the same make to compair price and go look at it and try it 1st .i wouldnt spend a lot on ebay buying without a visit to satisfy yourself that its up to the mark

all depends what you want out of it
is it water cooled ? water cooled are quieter
if you intend to use it quite a bit i would go for a genny that runs at 1500rpm not 3000 less ware better fuel consumption

Thanks guys.

It turns out that the the location of the genny is not as advertised. It changed from 5mins away to two hours plus. Gave me cold feet.
