yes. In the original procedure I watched and did on 2 units, just the head wiring did change the voltage but as it was loaded the regulator didnt keep up because it was tapped in an odd place and not seeing proper voltage
Correct. BUT knowing that this has been changed to single phase I highly advise you have the control wiring (on the back of the reconnection board) checked vs the wiring diagram. dont wanna blow the regulator.
Again best if you knew what the actual current requirements were, Just because its a 200 amp service doesnt mean you need 200 amps. If the actual draw is significantly less you wouldnt need to go through all the hassle.
Depends on what is readily available and what you really want to spend for the output. open delta still wont get the full potential out of it. Open delta is great for having 2 phases of utility and creating a bastard 3 phase. the transformer route is best when setting the generator to high...
Do you see the arrows on the board? How are they lined up? In the other mod one thing that was moved is for the voltage regulator.

In that case, it needs to be returned back to factory specifications. Then its as simple as moving the board.
*Disclaimer* i have not done this process on a 006. I have on a 004 and 005. There was some control wiring that needed moving. That will probably be the same case on the 006. Need to...
If I had to go the transformer route, id tap the set to 416 and step down to 120 204. Delta to delta. On the secondary open or closed delta will suffice.
200 amps at 240 volt a 50 kva would just be in range ( depends on how close you want to run at maximum)

Time out. There should be no jumper.
For clarification from manufacturer this set should produce 120/208 3 phase or 240/416.
If the tiebar is cut between t11 and t12 and t12 is jumped to t2 it has been modified to a low zigzag which produces 120/240 single phase. DO NOT MOVE THE RECONNECTING...
Look at the voltage recommection board (covered in clear plastic has 12 nuts on it) note the arrows on the side. Move the board to the 416 mark and bolt it back down.

You can, you will loose a small bit to heat loss.
End of the day it boils down to how much current you really need, how much effort you want to put into keeping it efficient as possible, and what to do with the 3rd leg.
Transformer that large isnt cheap.

You really need to get some kind of a load on the third leg you don't want to run two legs
heavy one completely unloaded

Most 220 single phase items can run on 208. Yes you can adjust up to a higher voltage BUT if you do the phase to ground voltage will not stay at 120. It will increase as well and your 120 items will not be happy.
Long story short dont do it. If you really need the higher voltage use a boost...
That just means 1 leg to ground. If you are doing several 120 volt loads it can work. Your phase to phase will be 208 though.
