I just purchased a Tiger PTO 10kW Generator and put it behind my Kubota B2400 tractor. It ties through a transfer switch into a subpanel of my critical house circuits. The setup works fine with one exception, sometimes there is a noticeable flicker in the incandescent lights. The problem is worse under light loads and seems to diminish as you increase the load. In some cases, if you reduce the throttle a bit and then return to rated speed/frequency the problem diminishes. The volt and frequency meters all look good and an external power quality meter reading shows the Voltage THD is within/near the specified limit of 5%.
Anyone else see this problem with flickering lights on a PTO generator?
