Surely a simple solenoid holding the end of the spring in series with a bi-metallic strip. Hold solenoid in manually when starting, the generator will then continue holding it, and drop out on over heat. My new generator has an oil pressure gauge with a sensing contact on it to wire to the control box for 'shut down on low pressure'. There is a button on the front of the gauge to press when starting to provide a similar force condition. |

I like that one Andrew. :thumbup: |

'swhat I was advocating in post #14 :lol: :lol: |

Ah, didn't get the "Hold in solenoid" part. :beer: |

--- Quote from: PekkaNF on December 17, 2014, 12:53:41 PM --- I would hate to have wallwarts or such on generator that is going to get the handling portable emergency/construction site generator is getting. --- End quote --- Using wallwarts as a tiny power supply is a good solution for low voltage DC. They don't have to take up a power point, just pick up 220/240 or 110 volts ( the European model that we have in France are particularly interesting with their 6mm round pins which accept dominoes making connecting wires on extremely easy). Tucked out of the way in an electrical junction box, they needn't take up much room. |
