    Mep 803 running motor home. Bonding strap?

    I cleaned s8 and everything else I could get to. The percent load meter started working and I ran 3 ac's and the microwave. Only showed about 40 percent load or a little higher. About right because clamp on meter showed 29 amps on one leg and 18 on the other. Then i ran a 3 phase ac on it...

    Mep 803 running motor home. Bonding strap?

    I knew that. But nothing can be taken for granted. Been trying to read as much as i can about these things. I got one but need on more to fully run my house.

    Mep 803 running motor home. Bonding strap?

    I got the new to me 803 a couple weeks ago and finally got it ready to load test on the motor home. It is sitting temporarily on a little trailer so I know I need to drive a grounding rod in but not sure on the bonding strap. I assume that the motor home is not bonded because the system that you...
