And this I just rememberd. Should you close the second main load CB, when that light is ON, you melt the contacts on the CB. I was in a power room in Ft. Belvoir, Va in 1973. The engineer school. Twice a month, they transferred the entire Fort load, from city power, to the power plant on post...

That's indeed a WAY to parallel two small sets. It works. But the problem is, on two sets built to do Parallel work, there is some more circuitry. That involves some relays that in a mini second, decide that the sets are for some reason going out of matched phase. The relays pop the main circuit...

Indeed. The first sentence says it all. They synchronize, not parallel.

What video? I would like to see what he is doing, and maybe read the thread.

Read the last sentence of the post above yours. Yes, I can give you the TM, in fact, its in the TM forum I think. But its no good for small gen sets.

Case in point. Patriot Missile System. During the first Gulf War, The Patriot Battery's were instructed to run both 150 KW Turbine gen sets, at the same time, due to the unreliability of the gen sets. That also had a bad side effect. You could set your watch by a D424A gen set, destroying itself...

The TM says that you can only use it for LIKE items. Two 802A's or two 803A's. In theory it should work. I have never tried it with two different gen sets. Hook it up and try it. This is the old style box. What PP, (Power Plant) did it come on.

Send a picture of the rig. Mike is 100 % right. The 802 and 803 can not be used in parallel.
