Sounds like everything is working out for you. Closing on a new to you house and moving is quite a chore without having to go pick up more generators than you bargained for. ;)

Not an issue with the 803s. Just set it to run at 240 single phase. The unit is rated at 52 amps in 240V 1PH or 34 amps in the 208V 3PH setting. In the 240V 1PH setting you connect the hot leads to L1 and L3.

If that is just the auction fee your cost will go up from there. GL charges a 12% buyer's premium plus sales tax for the state/county the units are sold in. These skids don't slide all that easy on metal. I had mine in the back of my pickup and winched it out onto a trailer for starters. After...

Sounds like you hit a lucky sale or bid too high on three units. Most of the sales I watch go way over what I would pay for one. I got lucky on mine and got one that was pretty good mechanical but looked like ass so the bidding didn't get too crazy.

You would need two home panels.

I saw a set similar to that a while back. I think it was 45kw single or 60kw 3 phase or something like that. It had a 4cyl turbo diesel. Went for about 2600. If I hadn't already bought the 803 and had it all sorted and connected I would have tried to buy it. The enclosure I was referring to was...

If you are wanting uninterrupted service during an outage just look at the main breaker in your panel. You most likely have a 200 amp panel so a 48KW single phase generator would fix you up. Hardy Diesel Generators sells a 40KW Perkins for $13,423 and a 55KW unit for $14,100. I don't see...

Harbor Freight sells an inexpensive 7 function Clamp-On Digital Multimeter for $16.99 that has a peak hold function. They also have two others that do not have the peak hold function so make sure and get the 7 function model if you go that route. The one I bought read about 4 amps low compared...

Forget the sync and load management. Just go to Hardy Diesel Generators and order a 25KW Perkins. Don't forget to order the enclosure. About $13,250 should do it. :)

Not knowing what size AC, water heater, etc. nobody can answer with certainty but I don't think you should attempt to power all the items you want at the same time. Some load management will be necessary. I can run my 3.5 ton AC and well along with all the normal 120v circuits with my 803A. I...
