And are you making any DC voltage? . Flashing the field is easy. Start the generator. Get it up to speed. Then turn the starter switch as like your starting the engine. If all is good you will see the frequency and the voltage peg then stabilize. If it drops off then you have another issue.
Hi Jim it's not that it would hurt it the engine. It's that the air system the way it's routed thru that unit. You would be hard pressed to find a way to get in there to block it
Another way if that doesn't work is in front of the switch is the throttle control. Pull on the throttle it will Rev a bit and if you go about 100 to 200 rpm higher it should go into overspeed and shut off.
Its pretty easy. Take a calculator . Add all your breakers up. OK you still with me ? now divide by 3 . and then divide your circuits' best you can to equal that number for each of the 3 panels. They don't need to be perfect. But do the best you can to divvy up the load.
If it were me I'd brake it up your circuits in to 3 even loaded panels. Feed them from the power company the same way your doing now but parrelel your imputs.then ID back feed them when the power goes out then do the A to B. A to C , and B to C and run the gen 3 phase. To back feed I'd run it...
If it's only the heater you want to run you could use it either delta or wye . If your going to use it like me then go low voltage and use wye set up like I am.
