Noted, is it a safe assumption you are using it for backup use? If so you need to be sure you have a proper interlock (device preventing generator power from making to utility and vice versa)

Single phase 120\240. L0 is neutral. L1 a phase l3 b phase. Do you know what you're doing? Because there's a lot of ways to hook generators up wrong with very devastating results. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Ok. So 1 of 2 things is happening, 1 it's reading in error and tripping or something is going wide open and sending the voltage high.

Let's try something that's going to sound a bit silly, take the voltage adjust knob and rotated it's full span back and forth several times then set it to the lowest setting

Turn the voltage adjustment down and try again

In the mean time, disconnect both wires and measure the coils resistance. Then measure the resistance from each post to the chassis. I'll do the same on a known good one.

Let me check I might have a spare

It's replaceable. You can also have a weak cb

You can get smaller vfds that are single phase output. Not sure how well that will play with a start run wound motor.

I It's absolutely possible. Not to mention these are apples to oranges. Your standard household breaker is a thermo mag breaker (thermo being the slow overload trip, mag(netic) being the inrush. Their trip curve (time vs current) is rather forgiving (especially GE breakers). Now for...

It's not the FLA you need to look at right now. It's the inrush. They can take as high as 10 times the FLA on startup

Short answer: it's normal, and holding closed is a not so good idea Long answer: These are momentary switches. So the return to center is normal. The way these circuits work is electrically held. Meaning when you select closed the contactor closes and electrically holds itself on...

I believe that's what it's for,

Typically breakers are sized to protect the wire (or in the case of a generator the head) so increasing breaker size is usually asking for trouble

The power in my neighborhood was so bad that a breeze would take it down. Last major outage was Irma, 9 days with no ac in september sucked. ever since investing in MEP (and a few bad legal words to the utility) the longest outage was 2 hours.

This is why I keep a spare belt on hand. And several spare generators... Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

That's the best solution. You can usually use the existing wiring, just bypass the transducer
