1 last question and I'll leave everyone alone. (Grounding) If the 804 is mounted on a surplus trailer, Doesn't the trailer act as a ground? Or do you still have to throw a rod 8ft in the ground? And or if your using it on concrete pavement?

Oh ok .. 👍

So your saying the 804 only last a couple hundred hrs before it breaks down? If the 803 is a better unit, but the hvac still runs little over 12kw then the 10kw is no good. I'd have to use the 15kw 804.

Then I guess we need to find out who has a 804 and for what money. (Still sitting on surplus trailer)

Actually this brings me to a question. Is it possible to still get electrocuted while hooking up ground and terminals while machine is turned off? Stupid question but when safety is involved nothing is a stupid question

Yes iv seen those. At auction you have to catch them when they're available. #2 people want over $15k out on the market which that's out of the question. Last one I saw sold for $3400 and I was a few seconds late placing a bid when I found it. Plus the fact if there is one available at...

OK that's what I thought you meant. I would never hookup anything while running. I donr even have a mep-804 yet. I accidentally bought a 813a and found out real quick how fast I made a mistake. Now I have to re make that money again for the right one

One of these guys on here is now freaking me out about all this (I'm gonna die) stuff about plugging in things into the gen set. I understand he's probably talking about grounding the unit but dang. Your telling me I may die if I use the outlet to plug something up? I mean I'm not gonna hookup...

That's very good reading. Thank you for laying down on the table. As far as outlet hooking up. The chargers would be more of hand held radio chargers, cell phone chargers and stuff. I looked at one of the other HVAC units we got (no picture due to hasn't arrived yet) but another one just like it...

We are just weekend warriors. So burning fuel for 2 nights maybe 3 don't bother us. It's just money and all comes out in the wash and we will make it again. On the other hand, in today's world the stress level for us is beyond high, so we just want to enjoy life sometimes instead of worrying...

Huh? What's GFCI?

Oh Okay gotcha. Thank you.

Agreed... But could I still plug into the outlets on the front of the 804 for 120v 60hz for lights and powering electronics while it's running the 3 phase HVAC at the same time?

Well I really didn't have a choice on the HVAC, it was in a auction, I just got what I could get my hands on. The tent we will use will probably be an Alaskan AF Structures Tent which is Huge but they run $6500 and up used.

I looked up a similar unit on HDT website and their 63,000btu (kinda like mine just a hair bigger) unit runs like 10,675watts (something like that). That's why I started looking at 15kw units to run hvac and have a little room for electronics and lights. So I figured a 803 or 804 would work. I...

The hvac unit is at 208v/3 phase. The mep-803 & 804 have Receptacles plugins on the outside, wouldn't that work as far as 120v power to TV, laptop, lights and Stuff while running 3 phase to hvac? FYI the hvac unit plaque never showed watts or amps.

Iv already made that mistake. Paid $5100+ taxes and fees then $1900 delivery $8k total in a MEP- 813a 400hz. (Mistake) re-sold for $3,000 big loss. Guy who bought it runs 400hz on his equipment. Now I'm trying to replace it with the right one. The hvac unit you can't see the amps cause it's...

Ok so i bought a HDT Hvac/ heater unit to run for a military tent that i havent bought yet or found yet. Im looking for a MEP-Gen set to run this unit and other electronics inside the tent as well, tv, laptops, cell phones, radios and chargers. What MEP generator do i need for this setup...
