This genset is 3KW. If you do the math, 20 amps at 240 volts is 4800 amps. I would like to set this up on a manual transfer switch to run my well pump, and maybe a couple 120v circuits to run freezers. I don't know the actual amp draw on the well pump, but it is connected to a 20A breaker. The...
What function does L0 have? The manual says to connect to L1 and L2 for 120V single phase. Which is the neutral? 120V 3 phase uses L1, L2, L3, OK with that.120/208 3PH 4 wire connects to all 0,1,2 and 3.
So is L0 a ground? A neutral isn't needed for 3ph.
Well, I bought/won one a year ago, and things have just gotten in the way for me to mess with it, but I'm getting back into it. My purpose was to set this up to a manual transfer switch for back-up house power, in which I need single phase 230V for my well pump. Since this isn't exactly set up...
I picked up my genset yesterday bought from GL. I did a general check, it didn't have any oil or fuel in it. It actually looks as though the engine is new and never ran. Anyway, I put oil in it and some fuel in the top tank, set the throttle level down some into the run zone, and it started...
I've been reading the previous posts about these, and getting the "2 phase" out of them. I know, house power is generally called single phase, but in reality it's double phase. What I've read about these units is they have a single phase 240 output.
So, can these be wired for a 240 double phase...
New here. I'm thinking on trying for one of these in an auction. I'm looking for a back up generator for our home. I have a better than average mechanical ability and have a small machine shop.
I know when buying surplus, you are taking a chance, but it seems there is a lot of tinkering...
