Also, I meant to add that I will not be using a plug but rather hard wiring the genny into the sub panel of the RV. It is not mobile. It is a weekend/vacation home until I retire when I will have a home built on the property.

If I go with the 120v 1ph setting, I will replace the 6 gauge 4 conductor with 2 or 4 gauge 3 conductor and then split the hot into 2 hots inside the sub panel. Would that work??

The data plate shows 52 amps at 120v 1PH. Could I conect both the red and black wire to the L1 and get 52 amps? EDit: I meant to L3.

That may be where a problem could arise! Its a 50 amp service because to run all or most of the appliances, 26 amps wont cut it! I really need about 25 amps per hot leg! 120 Volt AC Amp Ratings Appliance or Electronic Equipment Estimated Amps Air Conditioner (X number of A/C) 12-16 Amps...

There are NO 240v appliances in the RV.

The half round or U is the ground. The one directly below it is the WHITE or neutral and the other two black wires are 180 degrees out of phase with each other are the HOT 120-volt. In reality you have TWO 120 volt split service going into your RV X & Y are interchangeable, red and black (or 2...

Hi guys! I finally bought a MEP-802A 5K genny. Now I need to connect it to a 50 amp 120v RV service which is different than a 50 amp 240v service. I will be using 6 gauge 4 wire for a run of about 60 feet. Please correct me if I am wrong!! I will be connecting the green wire to GND, white wire...

Let's assume I know nothing about electrical (not much of an assumption!!). Given a specific load and a specific distance, would it be ok to oversize a supply wire. Say a known load and distance calls for a #4 wire, would it be better to run a #2 instead? The only drawback I can come up with is...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I will be running it approximately 24 hours per month averaged out over 4 weekends along with week long times at holidays and vacation time. It will be for evening use primarily for charging batteries, microwave, heat in winter and a/c in summer. All...

I live in Vacaville now but my property is outside of Pollack pines. I plan to use fire rated sheet rock on all the interior walls. I plan to elevate the genset about 18 inches for ease of maintanance and vibration control. Vacaville is a nice little town because our law enforcement won't take...

I'm trying to decide between the 5k and 10k. I have a piece of property I will be retiring to. For now I have an rv there and the wife and I are there most weekends and holidays. The 5k would be sufficient for the next 5-6 years. Then I'm building a home there and moving in. The area gets some...

I'm 58. Does that qualify as an old fart? My wife claims I don't act my age. I think that's a good thing😈

I will be using old conveyor belt for vibration issue's. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Thanks. The area i'm in is full of old crodgedy folks so quiet is essential to a happy life. The generator im running now is a Yamaha 3000 ieb that has a db of 60-62 and I've had a complaint or two. I'd like to get it down to around 52-54db. If the old farts cant live with that then to heck with...

Thanks for the reply. The Hardy solar one is close to what I'm looking for except that I want a plenum that buts up to the generator case on both ends. Then I'd like to put a gable vent fan on the intake side that runs when ever the genny is running. I thought I saw a drawing of one like that...

Hay everybody, the new guy here. I'm looking for a thread that had a set of plan designs for a custom built shed for a MEP generator. I just don't seem to be able to find them. They are for a building to house the genset with an intake and exhaust plenum as well as a aux. muffler I am planning...
