It seems simple enough to feed a separate breaker by tapping into the line side of this breaker, and abandon it in place. Mount the new breaker in an external breaker box mounted to the side of the control box or output box. Maybe even some other place depending on your intended use, the NEC...

How much aggravation is there in replacing the output breaker? Keeping in mind that most commercial generators in this size range have breakers that do little or nothing to protect the generators from overload as the thermal trips are too slow to save them most of the time on slight overload...

Hmm, you could probably set a delay on the unloader, by chance is this a Davey compressor? Ike

Trying to protect a generator with a thermal magnetic output breaker is next to impossible the thermal side will have to sized too small, and the magnetic will trip too fast for momentary starting loads assuming the generator can even sustain the magnetic trip current. A better approach seems...

The Fluke 337 is a nice meter, I have been looking for a deal on one on ebay for a while now I bought a problematic Fluke 1507 insulation tester off ebay a couple of months ago for a really good price, the only problem turned out to be a oddly bad fuse (it had high enough resistance that the...

Speddmon, don't get me started on scroll compressors, they may be to the point of being ok for air conditioners now (and even getting common, I have not looked at how common in the last year or two), but they have a long way to go on the refrigeration end of the business that I regularly have to...

There are a couple of things to consider here, air conditioning compressors are always starting against a load unlike most other types of motors. This means they have high inrush currents (this is why the NEC now requires special HVACR rated breakers for air conditioners), if the compressors...
