    240V 3ph on MEP-806B. Is it safe?

    100% yes you need to ground the frame of the treater to the generator frame. Technically you really should have a breaker between the generator and treater, mainly because the generator breaker is made to protect the generator, it can put out more current than desired for the treater and wire.

    240V 3ph on MEP-806B. Is it safe?

    Bonding: Make sure the neutral (L0) is electrically tied to the chassis, The machine needs to be grounded back to the generator frame as well. It is also a good idea to have a ground rod (this way the ground reference is the same as the ground). If it is impractical to have a ground rod (it...

    240V 3ph on MEP-806B. Is it safe?

    Okay this changes things slightly, you need to look at your equipment and see if there is anything that runs 120 volt. If there isn't anything requiring 120 then you can Crank It Up. Also look at the motors and see if they have anything on the nameplate saying usable at 208. Sent from my...

    240V 3ph on MEP-806B. Is it safe?

    You can get 240. BUT the leg to ground voltage will increase as well. Leg to ground is typically 120. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
