After following this post I decided to check or replace my thermostat, O'Reilly auto parts Mu55358 & 2138 in stock, my thermostat was a British 190°, Runs perfect 180° now with new Stat. Ready for summer now!
So what's the consensus, what's the best 803a hook up to home, mobile & fixed 0 to 50' from home , 50' to 100'. Surely someone has some time logged, what's worked for our experienced owners. I have 38' total of 6/4 from lugs to 50amp breaker. Should I up the breaker to 60?
Here's what I did,
I wanted to keep it mobile so I mounted it to a 1500lb Axel 4x8 trailer. I park it 25' from power end of house, which has no windows. I used 30' of #6 SOOW with 50amp connectors & receipticles on unit and house. I can pull an old stove out of a shed ,plug it right in and give...
Nice, clean job, I wanted something like that but could not find the right parts. I ended up installing 50amp box. I too did not want to modify the factory body ,so I used the existing bolts above inlet box, drilled alignment holes in the outlet box to match.
I've searched all over for the Datcon 24v, the few I found were 6 to 10 bucks a piece with 8+ dollars shipping. O'Reilly auto parts has Dorman @ 3.50 each.
I put my mule to work yesterday. Started it up, got it up to temperature, plugged in the stove and started with broiler (3400watts) for 15 minutes. Then added 2 small burners (2400watts) ran that for 2 hours. My percentage rate meter does not seem to move much at all. Gained a couple degrees in...
Yeah I thought about wiring them single phase but then I'd have to change receptacles. I put a straight blade outlet box on my gen and will have twist lock inlet at house. Keeps it more of a common cable. Then when I want to run a load/work out on it, I can plug a 50amp stove directly into my...
Fellas, I have a pair of those connectors I bought not knowing they're 3 phase, I only have $20 into them. I'd let them go for that plus shipping if someone's interested.
I've recently completed the fuse mod on my 99 803a. I found the exact fuse holder and fuses on ebay, like $11 dollars shipped. Paid for 2 pack of fuses, they sent 4. Have extras if you fellas have problems finding them.
