Well, the new generator has arrived, and WOW, it's a big one!
730x550x690, with a 30L tank, kicking out over 3.5 kVA on each of it's 3 sockets, and weighing in at about 90kG!
Have not had a real chance to put it to the test, but I have assembled it and fired it up, and it started well.
With this, we will be able to have one person out the front taking on the belt sanding, while another uses the drop saw to prepare timbers, and a third inside running the disk sander over the internal boards, as well as a 12V inverter charging the batteries to keep the cordless tools powered, and the little generator kicking around for the finishing sanders.
Then of a night, there will be enough power to give us light and heat in both the cottage and the caravan (some weekends there will be more people than the caravan can sleep) as well as TV, Kettle, Toaster and Chargers for the laptops and phones (these will be surege protected even though the generator is regulated)
I'll get some pictures up soon of the beast, which has been dubbed 'Tony the Tank!'
