So a 5000w resistant load @ pf 1 would be 21 amps....and would read as 80% load on the meter...Is this correct? If you set the your amp meter to 13 amps then the load meter should be at 50% load -right? I think I am getting this- 26amps=100% 13amps =50%

The girls all get prettier at closin time.......

Shouldn't the load meter read 80% at 26amps at 100% load at a .8 pf ??

Fired up the load bank to do some final checks. Auxiliary fuel system works great. Calibrated my gauges after a very good post by kenny0. Ran it at 100% load for 4 hours, I plan on load testing every 4 months to keep the unit exercised.

It was custom made at Tarpsnow. You just send them the dimensions you want and they make it from whatever material you want. A little pricey at $100(shipping included) but I like it alot. Took about 2 weeks to get it after being ordered.

Got a nice fitted cover from 'Tarpsnow' and got rid of the old green tarp. Cover should keep most of the rain, snow, and ice out of the unit while letting air flow in.

The site posted for the well nut replacement shows the part 'currently unavailable'....I would guess they ran out due to all the members on here ordering them...

Thanx Mike

I would not test it hooked to the house. Can you load test it without hooking up to your house panel??

That thing looks great....!!

Send me a couple dozen chocolate chip...

Ops - ?????

Got the batteries installed today-connected to the 24v charger/maintainer.

That is a good idea rhurey... I had one of those yellow drums that I made a burn barrel out of, wish I still had it. I'll keep an eye out for one. Originally I have a metal drum for fuel but as I was cleaning it I noticed the rim around the bottom was dented in one spot and it looked like it was...

Is that why the 80% load mark on the gauge is bold green??? A resistant load PF=1 from say an oven/stove reading 80% is actually a 100% load...Is this correct?

More than enough power output for here.....gas stove, gas dryer, gas hot water heater. I like the extra output of the 803A because I have electric back-up if the gas goes down. Back-up includes electric water heater, electric stove. New optima batteries should be here tomorrow. I'll update when...

Test run on the house panel today. Everything electrical turned on - A/C, lights, two refrigerators, well pump, microwave,...total load max 65%.

Fuel tank barrel filled and hooked up. Battery charger/maintainer mounted where I can see at a quick glance.

Got the fuel pickup tube today. Cleaned the junk out of it with a bore brush.

I don't anticipate much water in the 55 gallon drum due to the PRI-D stabilizer I'm using. Any water that may be present will be caught by the fuel/water separator in the unit. As far as the fuel in the line, I will probably disconnect the line at the genny and blow air through it back to the...
