I bought a MEDUSA SIP2300 4 stroke petrol generators as the were so cheap (just
in case we have power cuts!). It is the same generator as the WOLF 2.3kW one!
It is fairly quiet @ 73dBA @ 4m. The large 12 l tank gives approx 10 hour run
time. It is not too heavy @ 83kg full, 41kg dry, to move it by oneself (only on
& off a low level trolley & lift into van etc!).

I have modified it for /P contesting, to power several 400W Valve PAs for as
per my bul on "Petrol Gennys for /P SSB". With my rev up modification (add a
solenoid for FEED FORWARD compensation) the measured performance is now...
Generator Unmodified Modified
Load kW Volts Hz Volts Hz
0 250 55 250 55
0.1 240 54 230 55
1.0 225 53 234 55
2.0 Rated 215 51 235 55
2.3 Old Peak 200 49 233 55
2.5 190 47 235 55
3.0 New peak 180 45 33% throttle 220 54 @ FULL THROTTLE!
It is not intended that continious loads over 2kW be used, just speech peaks
etc. to go to 3kW peak load. Before the modification it was not possible to
activate the 10A thermal output trip on good power factor loads, after this mod
it is now possable!
At 50Hz you only get 225V output, but it is more economical to use lower RPM if
the peak power is not needed! There is no 2 speed option for this, but a long
screwdriver will adjust it OK.
Other Mods I did were..
1/ Added earth bonding from engine, to frame, & to the electric panel plate.
2/ Added earth lead & earth clip for external earth stake.
3/ Added engine ignition lead screening, & made a screen tube for the plug cap.
CIRCUIT
I have reverse engineered the diagram...

ELECTRONIC IGNITION
The electronic ignition works in a strange way, as top dead centre approaches a
voltage of -80V or so is made by the magneto primary, this is shorted out when
the timing pulse triggers the SCR shorting this voltage & producing an ignition
voltage in the magneto secondary.
Only one wire from the crankcase handles both the timing, & the oil status. If
low oil, the crankcase oil switch is not made, & the ignition is killed after
the oil warning neon light was lit for 30 seconds.
Does anyone really understand the operation of this circuit?
Any feedback on the working of it would be appreciated.
Y Don't U send an interesting bul?
