It was me. Unfortunately I'm thousands of miles from home where the file is located.

Have you checked the voltage between terminal C on L5 and the negative battery terminal when the HOLD circuit is active?

No need to get bogged down in theory when you are staring down the barrel of a hurricane. Bring two phases plus a neutral and ground from the generator and connect them as you would any other power source. I recommend looking at the schematic and see which two phases the VR senses from and...

In the spirit of full disclosure I am married to a Chinese woman. She has been wanting to show me around China for a long time. I'm finally taking a real vacation from work to do it. Culture shock is a real thing. Many things that are normal here would not work in the US or Europe. I'm...

You are on the right track. Its the phase relationship between the legs that accounts for the difference in voltage on the high voltage side. When two 120v phases are exactly opposite (180 degree out of phase) the math is simple meaning they are additive (technically we would use the same math...

Question 1 - Yes you can do that BUT you have to put a 30a overload ahead of anything rated for 30a (wire, connectors, outlets, etc). That means if you want to connect a 30a circuit to your 60a output you need to add a 30a breaker to be safe and compliant. Edit - You'll need to use a 30a 3 phase...

I'm hunkered down in Chengdu China (on vacation) hoping everything is going to be OK for the east coast.

That sounds like what I would do.

In my opinion people put too much effort into load balancing these sets when they are being used in emergency situations. As an example are you going to run the dryer much during an outrage? Look at the loads you are most likely to use simultaneously and see if you can spread them around the...

Why would you not consider rewiring some of the loads in your panel to make them 3-phase friendly? That could end up being the simpler option.

+1 on the overload. You will need every ounce of energy that an 803 can muster to start a motor that size. I'm actually surprised it did it EVER, Even unloaded. You have either a beast of an 803 or a really easy starting compressor.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Let me know if I can help.

a couple 4x4 posts crossways will be all you need.

Its laid out much like the main forum. There is a section for Aux Equipment. There is a button at the top of the page to take you directly to the classified section.

Good idea but the forum requires posting stuff for sale to be in the classified section. That perk requires a paid membership.

The new thread button is at the top of the page.

The 8k and 10k both use the same engine. That fuel burn doesn't suck for an engine that can do over 10kw of power. At 50% of prime power rating (~5.5kw) the stated fuel burn is 1.7lph. That is less than a MEP802 under the same load conditions.

Good job and also good thinking about following the manual. I routinely find things assembled incorrectly on units I work on.

Do you have 3 phase power available at your building?
