I am opertaing generators which are beyond 14000hrs and now the fuel consumption is about 2kw per li..

Answer / r.k.

If you want diesel consumption constant then your rpm will reduce result of it your generator will be overloaded so conclusions of that is change regulator section of greater efficiency and rating otherwise if you modify your engineers regulator then change Senegal diode of higher PIV and current rating and also change voltage Divider circuit
Isse ye hoga ki yr altinator ka rotor ki winding me current jyyada Jane lagega or rotor field stronge hoga
