The breaker on the generator is designed to protect the generator. I am not completely sold personally on the how effective that particular breaker is (too many mixed results). Also you dont have to go too oversized in the feeder.

thats what breakers are for, to protect the wire. the panel main would protect the wire from the set to the panel

What I would do is set the panel up for the largest load.

Slave is for jump starting

It has an absolute value of 100 due to 120 single phase, but the trip points change based on mode. What is your planned use ?

If you just need to make the engine run it's actually pretty easy

In 1p 240 name plate is 52 amps

It won't get as hot and can lead to wet stacking but that's an easy fix What you shouldn't do is run the engine at idle (or really low speeds). This can make the avr strain

this jumper bypasses the high temp and low oil cutoff. It should only be jumped for testing. if you remove it and the set no longer stays running you have a bad hi temp switch, low oil switch or wiring in that circuit

If you do, include me I would like to explore that possibility

You can use a line voltage frequency meter, you need to bypass the transfer in the control cube. Look for the square silver box

Thanks for pointing that out, I never had the 2 close enough to notice

Okay at my shop looking at these things and ones that haven't had it done had one version of schematic and the one that had it done already has a different version see attached the one that had it done looks like they just etched a couple of extra lines into it. Either way ones that were...

I must have won the lottery on them then, 90% I've touched didn't have it done

Iirc there are only 2 wires normally, so it sounds like it still needs done. I can check when I get off work

Yep. That's the exact writeup I had in mind.

Tb4 12, 13, or 14. All the ones I've ever done I've been able to clip some zip ties bring the wire up and over around to the left and down to the bottom fairly easily

Oh good to hear. While you are at it, look at tb4 in the control cube, on screw 3 is there a wire marked P59E16? There's a mod that should be done. If it's there it needs to move, otherwise there's a risk of starter burnout

from your description, id say starter. But to avoid jumping to conclusions lest do some metering. From the power stud on the starter to chassis when in start, chassis to trigger wire. let me know what you get.

So I'm pretty sure this engine is toast. I was turning it over by hand using the blower bolt and the blower feels loose. I can rotate it 10 to 15 degrees freely without the generator rotor moving. First I thought shrug keyway. But the blower is still well secure on the crank. Soo...
