The TM states on Page 2-6 to use 4AWG to make that mod, which if it can carry 125 amps would satisfy the current carrying capacity of the jumper. I wouldn't think derating would come into play in this situation for proximity to other wiring because the wires are all helter-skelter in the...

That's some interesting info to chew on LuckyDog. On one hand, I can't see the military instructing soldiers how to do it in the TM if they didn't think that jumper config could handle the stress and it wouldn't work to leave that jumper in there in all configs (120, 120/240, 120/208 Y). On the...

Yes, please show some pics of this mod. I didn't realize the hand-drawn L0 in the diagram for 120 mode illustrated the 120V only mode mod in the TM. That's just how I got the TM off the net. If what you said and what I understand is indeed correct, than there is a way to "universally" wire up...

I think part of the confusion, at least on my part, is that the TM says to not load the phases with more than a 5% variation, but I think they also mean legs in 120/240v mode. If you refer to the diagram of how the coils in the genhead are wired together in various configurations, it's...

Sorry to be so dense, but is that a yes or a no to causing damage to the windings for my situation?

Runtimes can vary from hours to weeks. It's primarily for hurricanes, and as such power outages can last weeks in a Katrina-like situation. Fueling it for that long could be an issue, but I'd run it as long as possible and neccesary.

I wanted to renew this post in hopes to get some more qualified opinions. I have now more solidified what my plans are for this generator. First, this generator's primary goal will to be to power a shop and 3 campers that are attached to the shop's power. The shop has a transfer switch that...

GLCaines, so I don't have to worry about uneven loading? I definitely don't want to burn out a coil in the head with heavy loads. Derf, changing the mode switch is easy. It's that when I switch from 120 to 120/240 mode, I have to rewire everything because what was 120v in 120 mode suddenly...

I just realized I may have read and misunderstood what I read. The TM says 5% max between PHASES not legs. Does this mean that since I'm in 1 phase mode I don't particularly have to be within close tolerances between legs in 120/240 mode? Then I wouldn't need to use 120V only mode at all. That...

Universal Wiring for MEP002 and 003 I have been reviewing the TM for the MEP-002 and 003 gensets since I'm going to soon be running one. I have been paying particular attention to the load terminal wiring. Before I ask my questions, I'd like to give a little overview of my use of the...
