About the only con of the Lima MAC as installed is the 208 volt 3 phase low wye stock connection. But under the NEMA junction box are the 12 leads and all it takes is a little know how, some #4 SOOW wire and a double pole breaker to convert it to low zig zag for 120/240 single phase split. A...

I don't think Miller Dynasty Welders could get any more modern, all of them will run on 208 three phase easily, and to their maximum output. Sure, the documentation lists 240 three phase as well as 480 volt but they also run fine on 120 volt single phase, if you have enough current, with...

Many of the 1031 governors were wired incorrectly, for example the wire to the injection pump should be to stop the engine if over speed condition occurs, mine was wired to the fast idle/advance circuit. I disconnected it because it really needs a relay as the safety switches cannot handle the...

Any direction as it produces alternating current regardless of direction. It is pretty hard to degauss these generators where flashing would be needed. My 1031 had 2.7 hours on it when liberated from Uncle Sugar in 2012, it didn't need flashing.

The voltage at low output load can vary. Once a good load is placed on it, this is no longer an issue. Field flashing is covered in that manual, they left out the safe way using a universal motor like a hand drill. Just plug it in, turn it on and then twist the chuck.

There is no electronic voltage regulator on this generator, nor is it easy to add one. It uses magnetic amplification control, not electronics. So it is a reliable generator but not a tightly regulated output especially at low loads.

The 1031 SECM generator is a Marathon Lima MAC that is a 4 pole rotor so it turns at 1800 RPM to generate 60 Hz of power. this is a two bearing unit as it is driven by a cog .
