It causes alternators to overheat because of the continuous high load - just like a washing machine or worse, a drier. 1kW means 100A. Maybe you need a cooler setting on the drier or extra cooling for the alternator. The diodes in the alternator can drop 1.5V so at 100A that means 150W of waste heat. You don’t want the nice new one to fail! <br />Best wishes,<br />RalphAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946325688134943823.post-30058245847386263462019-10-31T08:06:41.714+00:002019-10-31T08:06:41.714+00:00I've still lost the ability to reply individua...I've still lost the ability to reply individually to comments on here... grrr<br /><br />Thanks Peter - bookings have been building steadily for next year already so I'm rather pleased... in fact, there are more for next year than there was for this year at this time (if you follow) which is very good.<br /><br />I met up with the Chap who boat Duke and Duchess last year - he seemed a nice fellow but that is a much harder "job" than here on Ellis... I really do offer a live-aboard experience - in fact, the guests on board in Skipton, came into the boat yard with me and found the experience really interesting.<br /><br />Quaysiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372015225898397642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946325688134943823.post-48350755168883922172019-10-31T04:50:54.358+00:002019-10-31T04:50:54.358+00:00Good to see you are back in circulation.
