6-2 DC OUTitJT

When the generator is employed to recharge batteries, attentions should be paid to the specific gravity of electrolyte in each battery.

6-2-l MEASUREMENT OF ELECTROLYTE’S SPECIFIC GRAVITY

The specific gravity of an electrolyte varies according to temperature; so it is converted to one in case of 200C.

s20 = St + 0.0007 (t - 20) where

S20: The specific gravity at 200C

St : Measured value

t : Temperature at the time of measurement (Electrolyte)

6-2-3 BATTERY CAPACITY

The battery capacity is expressed in the unit of AH (amperehour). One AH stands for the capacity capable of one ampere current for one hour.

6-3 SIMULTANEOUS USE OF AC/DC OUTPUT

With a generating engine of rated 1000 W output, AC and DC are simultaneously available but, in this case, be careful not to exceed the total power consumption.

50 Hz

below 700 W

60 Hz

below 900 W

Note: Max. DC output

is 100 W (12V x 8.3A).
