Trying to figure out the battery hookup diagram.
There looks to be 6 cables. 4 cables goes to 2 batteries terminals. And 2 cables screws onto the side of one or both those batteries.
1 last question and I'll leave everyone alone. (Grounding)
If the 804 is mounted on a surplus trailer,
Doesn't the trailer act as a ground? Or do you still have to throw a rod 8ft in the ground?
And or if your using it on concrete pavement?
So your saying the 804 only last a couple hundred hrs before it breaks down?
If the 803 is a better unit, but the hvac still runs little over 12kw then the 10kw is no good. I'd have to use the 15kw 804.
Actually this brings me to a question. Is it possible to still get electrocuted while hooking up ground and terminals while machine is turned off? Stupid question but when safety is involved nothing is a stupid question
Yes iv seen those. At auction you have to catch them when they're available.
#2 people want over $15k out on the market which that's out of the question.
Last one I saw sold for $3400 and I was a few seconds late placing a bid when I found it.
Plus the fact if there is one available at...
OK that's what I thought you meant. I would never hookup anything while running. I donr even have a mep-804 yet. I accidentally bought a 813a and found out real quick how fast I made a mistake. Now I have to re make that money again for the right one
One of these guys on here is now freaking me out about all this (I'm gonna die) stuff about plugging in things into the gen set.
I understand he's probably talking about grounding the unit but dang. Your telling me I may die if I use the outlet to plug something up?
I mean I'm not gonna hookup...
That's very good reading. Thank you for laying down on the table. As far as outlet hooking up. The chargers would be more of hand held radio chargers, cell phone chargers and stuff. I looked at one of the other HVAC units we got (no picture due to hasn't arrived yet) but another one just like it...
We are just weekend warriors. So burning fuel for 2 nights maybe 3 don't bother us.
It's just money and all comes out in the wash and we will make it again.
On the other hand, in today's world the stress level for us is beyond high, so we just want to enjoy life sometimes instead of worrying...
Agreed...
But could I still plug into the outlets on the front of the 804 for 120v 60hz for lights and powering electronics while it's running the 3 phase HVAC at the same time?
