What is the AMP rating of CB1 (3phase breaker) on MEP002A generator?

[goldneagle]

Searched TMs as well as online and could not find the AMP rating of the CB1 3 phase circuit breaker on the MEP002A generator. It tells you the rating of the CB3 that protects the service outlet but no the main breaker. Anyone know what it should be?

The main breaker for the mep-002a and 003a are the same. They are both 100amp breakers but do not think of these breakers as a household breaker. They measure amperage through the CVT1 transformer and if the amperage is to high the breaker will throw. Then it also measure current that flows directly to the lugs.

I just wanted to make sure they sere rated higher than the circuit breakers I want to install in the breaker panel I added to my setup. I plan to install a 20 AMP 3 Phase breaker for any 3 phase items I want to test. I am also installing some 2 pole breakers. 30/30 and 40/40 for single phase hook up. Only one of the breakers will be on at any time. SO far I don't think I need any single pole breaker since the generator already has the service outlet.
