Curious if anyone here has specific experience running hungry CNC machines on a diesel or gas generator? Not interested in info about running a Bridgeport on a Home Depot special, I am talking a real, 3 phase, prime type generator. I am mostly wondering if the frequency and voltage can maintain stability through the ongoing spindle starts an such. A larger lathe may present even more of a challenge.
I have some concern with line regen on some spindles, as well as the inrush requirements. Obviously big CNC motors will be VFD driven, which would reduce the burden substantially.
Possibly a case where a shop has lost grid power for an extended period due to an outage or something.
