Abstract: A mobile power source includes an electrical generator, a controller, a resistor, and a user-activated switch positioned on a control panel of the electrical generator, the user-activated switch is configured to move between at least a first position and a second position. In response to the user-activated switch being in the first position, the resistor is configured to act as a terminating resistor at one end of a controller area network (CAN) bus of a power generation system, and in response to the user-activated switch being in the second position, the resistor is configured to be prevented from acting as the terminating resistor of the CAN bus.

Abstract: A power generation system including a controller area network (CAN) bus and a first power source having a first electrical generator, a first controller connected to the CAN bus, and a first resistor. The power generation system also includes a second power source having a second electrical generator, a second controller connected to the CAN bus, a second resistor, and a user-activated switch. The user-activated switch is movable between a first position, so that the second resistor acts as a terminating resistor to signify another end of the CAN bus and a second position so that the second resistor is prevented from acting as a terminating resistor.

Abstract: A light tower includes a generator assembly including a prime mover, an alternator operably connected to the prime mover, the alternator configured to produce alternating current electrical energy, and a rectifier operably connected to the alternator and configured to convert alternating current electrical energy produced by the alternator to direct current electrical energy. At least one light emitting diode matrix is electrically connected to the generator assembly by an electrical connection, and a regulator is operably connected to the alternator and configured to detect a current of the direct current electrical energy in the electrical connection. In response to a detected current of the direct current electrical energy in the electrical connection, the regulator controls the alternator to adjust the current supplied to the at least one light emitting diode matrix.

Abstract: A power source includes a generator configured to receive mechanical energy and convert the mechanical energy to an electrical output. The generator includes a rotor and a stator. The stator has a first coil and a second coil. The first coil and the second coil are selectively arranged in a first configuration to provide the electrical output at a first voltage level and in a second configuration to provide the electrical output at a second voltage level. The power source also includes a detection circuit including a sensing relay. The detection circuit is configured to generate an output based on whether the first coil and the second coil are arranged in the first configuration or in the second configuration.
