<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Although operating on a different voltage (230V) in
this country, I noticed a huge variation in charge rates using DR's with
generator voltages on systems that had been in a while. The generators
would gradually drop their output voltage over time as air filters clogged
etc. Once they got down to 220V the charge rate was significantly
longer. I generally advise my customers to have the gene set up to run at
240V (about 10% higher than the grid standard here) to get fast charging times
with DR's.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It got so bad I started fitting expanded scale AC
voltmeters on the AC inputs with coloured sectors on the scale to indicate when
things were going wrong. Needle in the red zone, service the
gene!</FONT></DIV>
