Help Me, I can't stop playing with it. . . . .

I picked up the unit yesterday, 1100 miles round trip, 20 hours Las Cruces to Ft Carson. Got it off the trailer this afternoon, checked fluids, good batts, turned the key, magic!!!!!!!

Can have a conversation next to it. . . . .

Can rest my Beer on it. . . .

Everything works on it. . . .

Heat, A/C. . . .

I have some MEP002'a to get rid of. . . .

I'll take some detailed pics tomorrow and post them up, but right now, I'm all smiles!!!!!

So, the gen is wired for 208 3 phase, how do I use it for 120/240 single phase? Worried about unbalancing by pulling to much power from one of the legs.

remove all the wiring from the gen head and wire it zig-zag. you will use all the windings, but it will be derated 30%. or just use it as is for 120-208 and still derate 30% and you will be using just 4 coils.

But will the governor and freq control circuits still function? they seem to be 208 3 phase only?

 

[m-35tom]

depends on where they are wired in. you can always leave it as 120-208, but you won't have 180° phase differance, just 120°. most things on a house don't care and i never have rewired mine. look at the data on your a/c condenser, it probably says 208/220.

Is this an auction find ? How much ?
