Theres aftermarket gauges that fit that hole available. Sometimes you need to bypass the transducer though

I think the worst one I ever witnessed in person was when we vaporized a squirrel. We had an old ballpark that the fixtures were 240 volt but each pole had a transformer to take the incoming 17,200 volt to 240. Coming into the facility it was 32k which we stepped down to 17. We blew a jack on b...

Old job (funny saying that cause I'm on day 6 of the new one) someone plugged a discharge unit into the 650vdc service port (normal procedure) but didn't have the breaker in the open position so it arced and flashed over. It sounded like a shotgun going off. So yes, use brains for their intended...

I call that one mans f*ck up is anothers cheap generator I have a 501 that seemed to be fine then randomly lost power. Found out that the output lug was cracked and covered with silicone. The rubber would hold it together until it got warm then no power. I had to double my investment on a...

I feel like there should be a remove before flight type tag on it.

Anytime Speaking from an actual observation, a 480v short not only is extremely exciting but a hazard to ones health and usually renders ones undershorts to a soiled state.

Thats a shunt it creates a short to dampen movement during shipping. If you need some excitement in your day leave it in place(DONT, please find entertainment elsewhere) , Remove it before use.

Back in the day I used to run alcohol go-karts and av gas stock cars. Both had a similar issue of gumming and seals degrading in the carbs. To prevent this we would disconnect the tank from the carb while running and run the engine off of wd40. This would eventually purge the carb of fuel and...

I custom built mine. The manual says that pin 16 is charge excitation output (makes the battery charging alternator run). what error message do you get?

Sorry, Force of habit. Thats what my 004 has been dubbed by the residents and guests of my home. Mainly due to the size.

I am glad you are in a safe space. Even happier you are prepared. Theres no rule that you cant do a simulated test.

I got one once with an unknown substance in the fuel tank. It was yellowish and when soaked into a white rag, it was like cracking a highlighter open. I am fairly sure it could have been seen from orbit. This is the same set that was full of kittylitter. Turns out the oil drain valve was a...

Make sure you cap off that yellow wire. Good find. Congratulations. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

The phase shift in a low zigzag works because of the addition and subtraction of the 3rd leg tapped to leg 2. (One rises as the other falls averaging two 120volt over 2 legs) The head is arranged where the phases are 120 apart but when leg 2 is extended it ends up 180 out. Simple way (but...
