Morning All! I have a home made generator unit based around a 5 1/2 HP briggs engine and 63 amp delco alternator. This system is both setup to supply 12 Volts for charging batteries and is setup to supply 100 Volts DC. I have been experiencing problems with engine stalling with heavy loads and have been looking into the possibility or not of using a cap of suitable size effectively with the alternator? In my quest to find the answers to my question I came across the website known as the "Backshed" the site is dedicated to alternative energy and windpower. I started this topic where I caught the attention of Len who is a electronics engineer by trade. In the process of coming up with the calculations for a suitable cap Len asked that I post the below chart so someone can confirm his calculations as being accurate regarding the size of the cap needed? This is the original discussion on the backshed https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4448&PN=1
