Basics

  • Page could use a better name
  • This Page goes over the various levels of generator motors OSE will make
  • Is kW-A more correct?

Sub kW Class

low-kW Class

  • Mainly used for small to medium wind, small hydro, and small thermal generator systems
  • 1kW Generator (DC?)
  • 2.5kW Generator (DC?)
  • 5kW Generator (DC?)
  • 10kw Generator (DC?)

High-kW Class

  • Mainly used for large gen sets
  • 50kW 3 phase ac
  • 100kW 3 phase ac
  • 250kW 3 phase ac
  • 500kW 3 phase ac
  • Would 1mW be too outside of reach, also perhaps not modula enough? With a quick look up, average USA residential power use/day is ~30kwh, and that means 1 mW genset would cover ~34 homes, and that is residential, commercial/industrial may use more, also various large vehicles with an electric drivetrain (trains/ships), super far out there, but may be worth a look
