@NY Tom I do see they use a transformer to raise the voltage. That’s how they get from the 208 to the 220 needed. If I’m going to provide 208 to that transformer, is it just a matter of connecting my three lines to the windings and turning the reconnection SW on the generator to the 120/208...

There is a lesson learned here. Do not buy from China. It is so hard to work things out. My manual is in Chinese. Trying to make sense of it. They are working on translating it. So I’m waiting

Received this from the manufacturer

Ok I’m back. I’ve been talking to the manufacturer to try to understand what really is going on here. According to them, my generator needs to provide 208v from combining the three hot lines (L1,L2, L3).Then the “supercharger” ( I call it transformer) then turns the voltage into 220v needed by...

I I was doing some research on Chinese machines and found out that R, S, T are the same as the North American L1,L2,L3. And U, V, W are the same as T1, T2, T3. This is typical 3 phase designation for European countries. If that is the case, then question becomes is the voltage regulator in the...

Greetings fellows, I recently purchased a 10k Onan diesel genset to power my 4kw, 30amp water filtration machine that’s been sitting in my garage. The machine is from China and uses 220v 3phase power. Since I’m off grid, I decided to buys a 3 phase 200amp Siemens panel I have to power my...
