The primary reason to select any breaker is to protect the circuit / wire. If you want 60 amps with a portable cord you would need a 4/4 which is rated at 60 amps. Rating for 6/4 is 45 amps, 6/3 is 55 amps and a 4/4 is 60 amps, and 4/3 is 70 amps. If you are using this on a 240 vs 3 phase use...
That is why I started my own shipping service (www.surplusauctionservices.com). We also pickup, wrap, store and consolidate loads from commercial auctions like Richie brothers and restaurant equipment in the Southeast. GL would not label a shipment or work with many of the ltl freight...

I use the efergy. It gives the daily average but you can watch peaks. I would like a better one but 300 is too much for a monitoring system
Also check to make sure you didn't put 40 weight oil in a new rebuild with less than 100 hours. Also break in a generator like you would a fine automobile. Did you flush the fuel tank first and change the fuel filters??
You would not be happy with low voltage being supplied to your home from the power company! Buy a larger conductor not a smaller one just because the insulator can take more heat! Treat your transmission circuit as critical. Every circuit you feed in the building also has a loss! Don't buy a...
Wow, I don't have a mechanical or electrical issue with my 006 that I know of. I wish it was an 806 due to noise but other than that I really like the 004-007 models. I was thinking about the auto start board and I have a few part unit Cummins, Kohler and Generac ATS units that I bought from...
I found this very interesting and want to setup a MEP-006 this way. Gave me lots of ideas on frequency control and startup. I don't sell this or work for inova! Just FYI if you are looking at doing a similar project.

Sound on a TQG goes up more than out. So keep it away from something that will reflect sound. You can use fiberglass sound board and coat it with clear flex seal which will keep the exit air from working apart the fiberglass material. I use 1" or 2" inside the hoods I build for the 802 and...
When you get over the shingles get the shingles shot! I had them after my last bout with cancer and they about drove me crazy for two months. Went around my half of my back, under my arms, up my neck and then went across my forehead. My father had them over and over and it really messed him...
What people forget when buying a great refurbished generator vs an unknown.
Costs:
If the batteries are bad you are looking at 450 or more
Change all rubber fuel lines
Change all filters
Change all fluids
Update quad diodes and time delay or just do the time delay fuse mod
Replace missing parts...
Great job and high end quality parts. I use the 50 amp plug (which is under rated since you can easily pull 60 amps on these generators) since I also power my fifth wheel with an 803 and I can use my existing extension cords. The aluminum enclosure was the right choice since you don't have to...
