Porter-Cable BSI550-W 5,500 Watt Generator with 10 HP Engine Customer Review: Good Generator so far 波特电缆BSI550钨5500瓦发电机10马力发动机客户修改：良好的发电机至今
Like one of the other reviewers I’ma mechanical engineer.像其他的审评我是机械工程师。 I purchased this generator because I live along the east coast, though not in an area with many hurricanes, so I had time to conduct quite a bit of research before purchasing it.我购买这个发电机，因为我生活在东海岸，但不是在一个领域有许多飓风，所以我有时间进行相当多的研究之前，购买它。 I work in the generator industry, though with larger generators, so I came into my search knowing more than many, but I was seriously disappointed in the amount of information available on the small gas engine generators.我工作中的发电机行业，但与较大的发电机，所以我开始知道我的搜索多很多，但我失望的是认真，数额提供的资料小燃气发动机发电机。 Most of these manufacturers are not using the web to provide enough information to differentiate their products from their competition or to really sell their products.大多数这些制造商不使用网页提供足够的信息来区分他们的产品从他们的竞争，或真正出售其产品。
My main criteria was: 1) Low fuel consumption 2) Good voltage regulation 3) High surge capacity.我的主要标准是： 1 ）低燃料消耗2 ）良好的电压调节3 ）高增长的能力。 4) Good engine with cast iron sleeves. 4 ）良好的发动机与铸铁套。 5) Potential reliability. 5 ）潜在的可靠性。 Each of these is important for the following reasons.所有这些重要的是有以下原因。
1) Fuel consumption - Generator burn quite a bit of fuel. 1 ）燃油消耗-发电机烧伤相当多的燃料。 This generator burns a little more than gallon per hour at load.这种发电机烧伤略微超过每加仑每小时负荷。 If a hurricane knocked out my power and I ran my generator set for 10 hours a day, in a week I would need 35 gallons of fuel, or 7 five gallon cans.如果飓风淘汰我的权力和我跑到我的发电机组为10小时，一个星期我需要三五加仑的燃料，或7 5加仑罐。 If you check FEMA and other sites they suggest planning for weeks without power and water after major hurricanes.如果您选中联邦紧急事务管理局和其他网站的规划，他们提出几个星期没有电力和水后，主要的飓风。 This equates to quite a bit of fuel to store (fire hazard) and keep fresh (fuel should be cycled from storage every 3-6 months, maybe 9-12 if you use a fuel stabilizer/preservative) and quite an expense.这等于相当多的燃料储存（火警危险）和保鲜（燃料应该是骑自行车从存储每3-6个月，也许9-12如果您使用的燃料稳定剂/防腐剂）和相当的费用。 This porter cable was more fuel efficient than most generators in its size range, but still consumes quite a bit of fuel.这看门有线电视更省油比大多数发电机在其大小的范围，但仍消耗相当多的燃料。 The only way to reduce fuel consumption would be to purchase a smaller generator set, purchase a diesel generator set or switch to a natural gas powered set hoping gas service can be restored faster than electrical service.唯一的办法，以减少燃料消耗将购买小型发电机组，购买柴油发电机组或切换到天然气动力的一套天然气服务希望能够恢复速度超过电力服务。 Natural gas and diesel powered generators of the same capacity are both significantly more expensive than this generator (2 to 3 times) and its troublesome to cycle diesel fuel unless you have a diesel vehicle.天然气和柴油发电机相同的能力都大大高于这个发电机（ 2至3倍）及其麻烦，周期柴油，除非你有一个柴油车。 I looked over Briggs and Stratton’s (B&S) website for technical data on engine efficiency and there was none, but I did find data on the web that said the most efficient load for gasoline engines is in the 75% range.我看到了布里格斯和斯特拉的（乙奥特斯）网站的技术数据，对发动机的效率和有没有，但我没有找到数据在网络上说的最有效载荷的汽油发动机是在75 ％范围内。 Diesels are a little higher, so this number seems reasonable.柴油机有点高，所以这个数字似乎是合理的。 Pick a generator set size about 33% larger than your average load for optimal fuel efficiency.选择一个发电机组规模约33 ％大于您的平均负荷为最佳燃油效率。 If fuel or efficiency is less of a concern, there are a variety of guides that help a consumer determine what they might want to power, how much power is required, and thus the set size.如果燃料或效率低的问题，有各种各样的指南，帮助消费者确定他们可能想要权力，多少权力需要，因此，集大小。
2) I was looking for a Brushless (brushes wear over time) generator set that used a voltage regulator to control the voltage. 2 ）我一直在寻找无刷（刷磨损超过时间）发电机组使用稳压器来控制电压。 I couldn’t find one.我找不到一个。 Voltage regulation is important because high or low voltage can damage electronics and other loads.电压调节是重要的，因为高或低电压可能会损坏电子产品和其它负载。 The voltage also must be constantly adjusted as the load on the generator changes.电压也必须不断调整的负载发生器的变化。 If your refrigerator compressor kicks on the voltage will drop until the regulation system raises the voltage and the voltage increases when loads are removed from the generator set.如果您的冰箱压缩机踢的电压将下降，直到调控体系提出了电压和电压增加时，负载从发电机组。 This generator set does not have good voltage regulation.这种发电机组不具有良好的电压调节。 In my initial tests the voltage ranged from 131 volts at no load to 119 volts at 60 % load.我在最初的测试电压为131伏特，在无负载至119伏特，在60 ％负荷。 Your utility aims for 120 VAC, so the 131 is high.您实用的目标是120醋酸乙烯酯，因此， 131高。 Use a surge protector if you plan to power any devise with electronics in it.使用电涌保护如果您计划制定的任何权力与电子它。 In my market research many of the generators advertised a brushless design, but didn’t provide details.我在市场调研的许多发电机无刷广告设计，但没有提供细节。 I even called the Porter Cable factory support personnel looking for technical information on how this alternator works, but they couldn’t answer my questions.我什至要求波特电缆厂技术支持人员寻找技术信息的交流发电机如何运作，但他们不能回答我的问题。 After examining the generator set, parts breakdowns on line, and a textbook on revolving motors I now believe most of the consumer generators are using a brushless capacitor excitation system.在审查发电机组，对部分线路中断，以及教科书循环发动机现在我相信大多数的消费者正在使用的发电机无刷励磁系统电容。 I don’t fully understand the electromagnetics of how it works, but it is a simple design and thus cheaper to manufacture than alternatives, fairly reliable since there are no brushes or a voltage regulator, and not very effective at providing precise voltage regulation consistent with Porter Cables recommendation to use a surge suppressor and my voltage readings.我不完全了解电磁学的如何运作，但它是一个简单的设计，从而制造更便宜比替代品，相当可靠的，因为没有刷或稳压器，而不是非常有效地提供精确的电压调节相符波特电缆建议使用电涌抑制器和我的电压读数。 If you want to run sensitive electronics with the consumer generators you can reduce your risk by using a surge protector and not running heavy inductive loads (like pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners, furnaces) while running the electronics.如果你想运行敏感的电子设备与消费者的发电机可以降低自己的风险使用电涌保护，而不是运行重型电感负载（如水泵，冰箱，空调，锅炉） ，同时运行的电子设备。 Porter Cable’s recommendation to turn on the heavy loads before turning on the electronics will help some, but those loads switching off could cause voltage spikes and the steady state voltage to change.波特电缆的建议，打开重物，然后对电子将帮助一些，但这些负荷关掉可能导致电压尖峰和稳态电压变化。 Most heavy loads cycle on and off.大多数重物周期和关闭。 Other options include using inverters (a solution that has its own hurdles and disadvantages) or purchase a more expensive commercial generator.其他选项包括使用逆变器（一种解决办法，有它自己的障碍和缺点）或购买更昂贵的商业发电机。 My generators at work have a voltage regulator that keeps the voltage output at close to or better than utility grade level variations, and 4 sets of windings instead of the two in this PC generator.我国发电机在工作中有一个电压调节器，让输出电压接近或优于实用级别的变化，以及4套绕组，而不是在这两个电脑发电机。 The extra windings and voltage regulator can produce very clean power when properly designed.额外的绕组和稳压器能产生非常干净的电源时，设计得当。 Expect to pay at least a couple thousand for this type of generator and make sure it has an external voltage regulator, but it will produce the best power.支付至少有1000对夫妇这种类型的发电机，并确保它有一个外部稳压器，但它会产生最好的力量。 I’m not sure if the standby generators in a box use this type of alternator/excitation system, but a good generator shop should be able to tell you how their alternators work.我不敢肯定，如果备用发电机在一个盒子使用这种类型的发电机/励磁系统，而是一个良好的发电机车间应能告诉你他们的交流发电机的工作。
3) Surge capacity is important because induction motors have very high starting currents. 3 ）快速部署能力是重要的，因为异步电机具有很高的起动电流。 Starting currents can be 5-9 times operating current.起动电流可以5-9倍的工作电流。 My father experienced this problem when he purchased a smaller generator without consulting me and it wouldn’t even run his refrigerator.我的父亲遇到此问题时，他购买了一个小型发电机未经咨询箱，它甚至不执行他的冰箱。 He later purchased a larger set with a good surge rating and was able to power his refrigerator, freezer, furnace and sump simultaneously without a problem.后来他购买了一套较大的一个很好的激增评级，并能够对功率的冰箱，冰柜，电炉和油底壳同时没有问题。 My work generators will actually put out 400% of rated power for short durations to provide motor starting capability.我的工作其实发电机将推出400 ％的额定功率为短期时间提供电动机起动能力。 I haven’t had a chance to test the PC starting capability yet, but the advertised capability to steady state capacity ratio is one of the best I found it this price range.我还没有机会测试电脑启动能力，但所宣传的能力，稳定状态的能力比率是最好的我觉得这个价格范围内。 Intuition suggests PC tweaked the alternator design to increase the surge capacity and some of the literature I found suggests the engine was designed for generators, so it may also contribute to the surge capability.直觉表明个人电脑调整发电机的设计以提高快速部署能力，以及一些文学，我发现表明，发动机设计的发电机，所以它也可能有助于激增的能力。
4) Engine. 4 ）发动机。 The engine has cast iron sleeves which should improve long term wear.该引擎已经铸铁袖子应能改善长期磨损。 I’ve talked with small engine manufacturers and they provided expected lives from 500 to 1500 hours for standard Briggs and Stratton or Honda engines.我已经跟小发动机制造商，他们的生活提供了预期从500至1500小时的标准布里格斯和斯特拉或本田引擎。 For a lawn mower, 500 hours is a long time, for a generator one hurricane/power outage could put 100 hours on the set.对于割草机， 500小时是很长一段时间，一台发电机为一个飓风/停电可能使100个小时的规定。 This engine also has overhead valves which help with pollution but also make the engine more fuel efficient.该引擎也有间接帮助阀污染，而且也使发动机更省油。 The engines in this size range have a mechanical governor that keeps the engine at 3600 RPM at the different loads maintaining the 60 Hz output.发动机在这一尺寸范围内有一个机械省长，让发动机在3600转速在不同负荷保持60赫兹输出。 This engine appears to be designed for generator applications so I suspect it has a better governor to more closely regulate the engine RPM and thus generator output frequency.这种发动机似乎是专为发电机的应用，使我怀疑它有一个更好的州长更加紧密地调节发动机转速，从而发电机的输出频率。 I couldn’t verify this on B&S’s website.我无法验证这一点对B奥特斯的网站。 This engine will run on standard engine oil (vs. non detergent in my chipper and power washer) so I can change the oil with car oil already found in the garage.该引擎将使用标准的发动机油（与非在我的洗涤剂琼斯和电力垫圈） ，这样我就可以改变石油与汽车的石油已经发现在车库。 The Owner’s Manual did recommend synthetic oil for low temperature applications, no problem for me as I run my car with synthetic anyway.车主手册也建议合成油的低温应用，不成问题，我作为我跑我的车反正与合成。
5) Reliability. 5 ）可靠性。 I wanted a name brand generator to improve my reliability odds, the long term availability of spare parts and the potential quality of the generator set.我想名牌发电机，以提高我的可靠性克服重重困难，长期供应零配件和潜在的质量的发电机组。 It doesn’t do me any good to purchase a cheap off brand generator that fails during my first power failure, leaving me again without power.它没有做任何好的我购买了廉价品牌发电机，未能在我第一次停电，让我再次停电。 Harbor Freight and other stores sell generators for significantly less money that appear to be manufactured in China.港口货运和其他商店出售发电机大大低于钱，似乎是在中国制造的。 Though China produces some high quality products, the standards and specifications to which these cheaper sets were manufactured will not be as high as those that PC placed on its vendors.虽然中国生产的一些高品质的产品，标准和规范，这些便宜集生产将不会高那些电脑放在其供应商。 If the B&S engine fails, they have a large dealer network to obtain service or parts from.如果B ＆ S发动机出现故障，他们有大量的经销商网络获取服务或零部件。 Not so with the off brands.不与关闭的品牌。
My generator came with a bottle of synthetic blend oil, but no twist lock plug ($21 at LOWES).我国发电机附带了一瓶合成混合油，但没有扭锁插件（ $ 21日在洛） 。 The fit was good and finish looked good.适合是好的，完成看上去很好。 Assembly was no problem for me, maybe 60-90 minutes with a bunch of trips to my basement shop.大会是没有任何问题对我来说，也许60-90分钟，一群前往我的地下室店。 I didn’t like the locknuts they used so I substituted my own washers and nylon lock nuts.我不喜欢他们用locknuts ，所以我代替我自己的洗衣机和尼龙锁坚果。 Most of the bolts were English, though a couple required a metric socket.大多数的螺栓是英文，但一对夫妇需要一个数据插座。
I’ve done some testing and plan to do more after I assembly the twist lock plug with some outlets.我已经做了一些测试，并计划做更多的集会后，我的扭锁外挂的一些店铺。 The generator set ran fine with 2 electric heaters drawing about 3000 watts.该发电机组运行罚款2电热器吸引约3000瓦。 Frequency was maybe 61.4 Hz at no load and down to 59.9 Hz at 3000 W. I noticed it blew quite a bit of hot air out the side with the outlets and muffler.频率为6140赫兹也许在空载和59.9下降到3000赫兹在美国，我注意到它引爆相当多的热空气的一侧与插座和消声器。 I’m not sure if this is out of the engine or alternator yet, or warmed by the muffler.我不知道这是不可能的引擎或发电机然而，或温暖消声器。 It was a little disturbing if out of the alternator.这是一个令人不安的，如果没有了发电机。 I need to do additional tests with my IR temperature gun.我需要做更多的测试，我的红外温度枪。 Voltage dropped as I turned on one heater and then the other.电压下降，我打开了一个加热器，然后其它。 Heaters are a simple load for a generator to power (purely resistive).加热器是一种简单的负载的一台发电机掌权（纯电阻） 。 Before I’m done I’ll hook up two more heaters and push the load up to 5500W.之前我做我会钩了两个多加热器和推动负荷高达5500W 。 I also plan to test it with some of my inductive motors (refrigerator, air compressors, maybe my dust collector if it handles the compressors well).我还计划测试与我的一些感应马达（冰箱，空气压缩机，也许我的除尘器，如果处理以及压缩机） 。 The accuracy of the 5500 W rated and 9,000 W surge is unknown.的准确性W评为5500和9000 W激增不明。 Consumer Reports tested a small sample of generators and found actual output to vary wildly from advertised capacities.消费者报告测试了小样本的发电机，并发现实际产量有着极大的不同从广告的能力。 I haven’t read their test procedures, but I assume they used the same procedure to test each, so the inaccuracy of rated outputs is supported.我没有看到他们的测试程序，但我认为他们使用同样的程序来测试每一个，所以不准确的额定输出的支持。 Last time I checked there is no industry specification or set of test procedures to rate generator set performance, so the manufacturers are free to test using tests procedures that produce favorable test results which they can use to advertise their generators.我最后一次检查，没有行业规范或一套测试程序，以利率发电机组性能，因此制造商可以自由地测试使用的测试程序，产生良好的测试结果使他们能够利用宣传其发电机。 The Department of Defense has a set of standard test procedures that yield repeatable results between different testers and repeatable performance between different manufacturer’s generator sets, but I don’t think these have been adopted by the closest to an applicable professional standards association, the Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA) yet.美国国防部制订了一系列标准测试程序，产量可重复的结果不同的测试和重复性能不同制造商的发电机组，但我不认为这些已通过最接近适用的专业标准协会，电气发电系统协会（ EGSA ）尚未。 I don’t have access to the test equipment to follow the DOD tests, but I have some idea how to find real world loads and I have some ideas and equipment to measure how the generator will perform with inductive loads.我没有进入测试设备，按照美国国防部的测试，但我有一些想法如何找到真正的世界负荷和我有一些想法和装备来衡量如何发生器将履行与电感负载。 I’ll update this post later after I complete my testing.我会更新这个职位后，我后来完成我的测试。
In the past I’ve wanted to ask questions of some of the reviewers, so I’m going to include an email address if Amazon will let me.在过去我已经想提问的一些审评，所以我要包括一个电子邮件地址，如果亚马逊将让我。 I don’t have that much time to answer mail, but I really love working with and talking about generators.我没有说太多的时间来回答邮件，但我真的喜欢的工作，并谈论发电机。 I can be reached at AM999901@aol.com.我可以达成AM999901@aol.com 。
