My name is Lloyd Throop, and I am a Marine currently stationed in Iraq. We are having some generator issues, and I was looking for help because by no means am I an electrician. We have these things, they are called Expeditionary Vans that we can load up and take anywhere is the world, and work out of them. They need external generator power to run what electrinics are on the inside. We had 60 Hz generators hooked us to it, and everything ran fine, and now that we got new 50 Hz generators, not everything is the van is working.
The van has little signs in it beside the fuse box that say it is a 60 Hz system, and the placards on the generators say 50 Hz. I am just trying to figure out if this could be my problem, or is there something else wrong here. Like I said, some of the stuff in the van would have power, and other things wouldn't. It would also trip some of the fuses on the panel, but they are not marked, so we couldn't find out what they were. If anyone could help me with this matter, I just need to know if a bone stock, no tuning has been done to it, 50 Hz generator could run a 60 Hz system without any problems. Thank you for your time.
