It's amazing how much knowledge is on this site..

The first time I saw that setup I was stumped for a while looking at it thinking if the contactor drew in it would be a direct short phase to phase. Then I got my hands on the schematic and realized what was going on.

Yes mostly. Like Rickf said above it probably doesn't have much load to start but not knowing the machine it's possible for it to draw quite a bit during start up. I agree that it probably will run it especially since these 803A's are really more of a 12k gen.

by the way the beginning of my last post was about the 10K gen then at the end was my opinion about the 15K. I reread it and realized that wasn't clear

Its possible it will run it. It is within its specs to do so but inrush current will be the deciding factor. Motors when starting pull a lot more current than after they are running. Depending on how much load it's trying to take on when it starts makes a lot of difference. When calculating...
