Why the 120/240 split issue?
But you don't LEARN. If you surrender at any task fully documented and proven, you cannot reach for the stars. Safety should never be ignored. Fortunately, correct connection of a 12 lead genset is easily verified by regular 120 volt light bulbs. If they illuminate correctly, then you have...- Keith_J

Most all 3 phase sets are termed 12 lead because there are 6 independent windings in the stator, the part where the electricity comes...- Keith_J
