We recently had a buss bar failure when manually driving object over the track. 400 amps at 480 make a good boom. No injuries btw, just some soiled shorts
First off. Ground Ground Ground.
You might just have way too much inrush. I tried a 003 with a 3 phase motor welder and it did the same thing. Load testing showed the breaker and generator to be just fine, so the inrush was the problem. If it turns out the breaker is failing, Good luck...
This diagram shows 3 phase. But it can be configured as such. I do believe it's important to point out that the field rating is 15 to 100 ohms. The 005 field is 2-4 ohms. Other members have made it work but it is out of spec
The one I've done required 3 aftermarket regulators and some rectifier assembles. I need to find my notes first though. There's another thread here where someone used a single unit, but it isn't within the field windings specs so I can't explain how it's still working.
There is a test procedure for them, they are repairable with some skill. There are some aftermarket replacements that can be used but they require some rework to function
