I was finishing up closing the electrical panels and saw my chance to take a clamp meter reading in the fuse box. I had the clamp meter on and attached and turned on the old 220V Ac in the barn. By the time I got back up the ladder the amp reading was 14.5. I'm not able to get a startup reading...

I believe both 110vAC units are 6kbtu. I can't pull the amps on the 220vAC units because I prewired all the outlets so I can't isolate a wire to use the clamp meter. I expected more out of the old military but I'm OK with what she does put out. When we built the little house it was the first...

No luck guys on the 220v ACs. I made all my connections yesterday and ran the old military generator for over an hour supplying power to our little house we call our outside kitchen. The old girl will not run the 220v AC in the living room either. It just doesn't have enough power. But the...

I'll try to get a current reading tomorrow. Today I spent the day adding another breaker box below the meter base at the little house. I needed a way to shut off the power company from the barn and house. I now only have the 100amp breaker in the box below the meter feeding the barn and house...

I cannot easily get to the AC unit. I built it in high in my barn and sealed it up including the front panel. I can pull up and out to clean the filter but that's all But even that requires moving a bunch of heavy stuff first. I was hoping to use the military generator to run the 220 barn AC off...

I created a 220v pigtail using a dryer cable and placed two outlets, one on one side and one on the other side of the 220 pigtail. I connected a 8000btu 110 AC, two blowers and a 110 heater on each side of the 220v pigtail and they all ran great. I plug in 1 220vAC unit to the 220v plug and the...

I got this old military Kohler with a K331 EP engine as a hand me down a few months ago. Today I was trying to find a good spot under a shed roof to set it up as a backup generator. All I checked before was the 110V outlet with a Killawatt meter and the cycles was 59-61, and the volts was...
