    MEP-016B 3 Phase Generator and Loading

    I ran a 4Kw heater and load meter was at about 95% on the meter. Probably cost a lot more than $2,500 if made today to the same standards. The military's acquision cost sticker on mine is listed at $3,460.00 in 1988. The quality of the connectors, fuel system, controls, switches, meters...

    Okay, I think I got what you are saying. However, on this generator L1 and L2 are the single phase outputs for both 120 and 240. If I understand it this might be a difference between the 016B/E series and the 016A/C/D series. Realistically I have no three phase devices to run and I do not...

    MEP-016B 3 Phase Generator and Loading
