I was able to run another load test today. After start and warm up I progressively applied a 60% load. It ran fine for 12-15 min and then tripped the overload again. I reset everything and applied 50% load and it ran fine for the remaining 1:40. During the last 30-40 min I added a large burner on low. It would cycle on for 20-30 seconds and then remain off for 2-3 min. When on, it would step the load up to 75%, but wouldn't remain on long enough to trip O/L. This seemed to be a nice test and it handled the shifting loads fine. I'm still concerned that it won't take anything over 50% for a period of time without tripping. It should chug away with 60, 70, 80% or more.
Im feeling that thermal K1 O/L switch may be faulty. I'll have to read the TM to determine how it can be tested.
