    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    Ok, I'll provide links to the high rez versions then as I go. Yep, that's my John Deere tractor. I love it. I'm primarily using it for logging right now believe it or not. I have a grapple for the front as well as the back. Here's a shot of it when I first picked it up from the dealer...

    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    Yeah, I'm definitely concerned about that when I'm already over 20A on L1 after it has already started. That said, I read somewhere that modern scroll compressors don't require the high star-up current like older units. Something about there not being any residual pressure they have to...

    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    I know exactly what you mean Rusty. I see that all the time. In my case however, that's my own webserver and I have been uploading images to it for 15 years and linked to them from a dozen different forums over the years. I don't have to worry about bandwidth use or image size. What I'll do...

    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    Thanks Keith, that makes sense. Now I understand. :mrgreen: So I did pick up 3 of the 4 802As he had available. I'll start another thread with my initial impression of them after giving them a once over. Here they are on the truck after getting back home. It was a tight fit! Unloading...

    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    Yup, that's me. Yeah, he hasn't touched any of them, just rounding up his cost to the next $100 to cover his fuel cost to pick them up. I hope 3 of them will fit sideways in the back of my truck. I got 50.25" between my wheel arches and they are supposedly 50.60" wide. So I'm technically...

    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    Thanks Keith! So does that mean that I when I read my amps across L1 and L2 with my digital current clamp, I need to stay below 26 amps, or 26 x 0.80 which is 20.8 amps? Maybe there is no way to find out until I actually try feeding the panel with the generator? I definitely want to avoid the...

    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    I was looking at the specs in the TM 9-6115-641-10 manual, and see the following regarding current ratings: 120/240 volt connection - 26 amps So 240V * 26A = 6,240 Watts right? So does that mean these are underrated at 5000 watts?

    Max amp draw on MEP-802A @ 240V

    Going to go look at 4 MEP-802A gensets tomorrow morning and hopefully leave with 2 or 3 of them. I plan to use 1 or 2 as backup generators for my house. I have 400A service into 2 200A panels. I just went and put a current meter on each of the 2 hot legs in each panel and got the following...
