Good answer. So it seems the idea is that if the utilities ground is poor than you can become the better ground and shock hazzard is potential. This I understand. So then I guess the best way to protect the poor genset from a lightning strike is to keep it unplugged during non use. I also keep...

Final note.. I spoke with a generator supplier. He told me they connect the ground to the generator frame because of lightning. A direct strike to the service has taken out many a generator sold that did not have the generator grounded to the frame. I personally did the no code thing and put the...

I don't think it's the Exciter diodes. This genset produces full 100% power with no problem. And I have been told not to use the center coil on the reactor forgot a neutral filter. Just the two outer coils for 240 volt for single phase use.

I want to order this reactor transformer on eBay: GE Fanuc Line Reactor Transformer, A81L-0001-0122 02, Used, WARRANTY But will it work for single phase? Can I run the neutral through it along with both 240 wires each in one of the 3 phase connections? (link removed)

Guess I lost the spelling bee, LOL!

Thank you sir. I will look into it.

Your preaching to the quire. I am a retired commercial electrician. The neutral is not switched here. This problem is with the windings. This genset functions normal when loaded. You would never know there was a problem until you check with a fluke meter for inductive voltage. I need to know...

This 803 is set up for my home 120/240 service. The national electric code states not to ground the Neutral to the bond on the generator side. This is code . And all of the 803, 802 are wired this way. It's the same as a sub panel load center. No neutral bonding on a sub panel. So this is not...

The neutral and bond are not connected on the 803. That is code. And the unit was made that way from the factory.

For many weeks now I have been trying to trouble shoot my MEP 803 that has an AC voltage induced in the DC control circuit for the glow plugs. I have gone through many tests and tracings for obvious shorts. I have checked or replaced the battery charging alternator, the A1 regulator and wiring...
