As kgblazerfive says, keep on start. Instead of thinking "the motor is running" instead use the volt meter (or frequency meter) as an indication that it is time to release the start switch. It is not intuitive at all, we're trained from day one to always release the start position as soon as the...

The only issue with rewiring for single phase is that you don't get full output, in fact it appears you get about the same output you'd get using two of the three phases, so the only advantage is that you have 240 instead of 208. In my case I didn't think the additional volts was going to be...

That does work, and I know people who do that, the only risk is that you risk over-voltage when large loads switch off before the regulator pulls it back to the setting. For most everything that is not an issue, but for some electronics it might be an issue. (What happens when you drive it to...

I don't think phases were mentioned in this thread, but yes they are 3-phase. Fully usable for 'single phase' 120/208 service, slightly derated however. As well, some transfer switches (the ones with individual switches for each circuit) can be wired to a three phase generator easily--that's...

As a fellow MEP-004 owner, all I can say is "Win, win, win." Great price for the unit, and that it works is fantastic. In addition to this wonderful site, there is smokstak.com which has a military generator forum as well. Most of us here, are there too.
