Howdy,
Shame on me. I used it as a layman's term for easier explanation. Your overvoltage fault. It's just easier to say fuse. Your fault panel will light up the fault. The button on the fault panel is also the reset button after that fault clears.
Remember how I said it is a timing thing. The...
Howdy,
Double check everything before doing. Make sure all it 100% working correctly.
Stay at 125%, it will trip. time frame? undetermined due to wire connections, fuse, fuse age, fuse has been hurt prior etc...
It will trip.
Howdy,
Go back and read my post.

Howdy,
You need to go back and watch some of my you tube video's

After this condition...
Howdy,
Let's get a few things straight. Any running over 100% is not what I do for a long time.
The over 100% is in a very controlled situation, and for final testing purposes only. I am using a military load bank.
It is not wise to use your house as a load bank. As you know, things can go...
Howdy,
You can watch a few hard runs here MEP-802A/MEP-803A units on a military surplus load bank
You want to ensure everything is working and running to the best ability before raising above 100%. You need to monitor and watch for any problems, and be prepared to take action if you do have...
