You can run 1,2 or 3 legs of 120. Or you can do the same at 240 volts with the stock reconnection panel. But you cannot get 120 and 240 like common residential service without additional equipment or reconnection modification to your set, primarily converting from wye to delta. Specifically...

L1 and L2 are out of phase by 120 degrees. You won't get 240 but 208 without center neutral tap. For what you want, you would need a center tapped winding like this: But that is delta and your generator is wye..major reconnection, paralleling two deltas.

Where and how did you measure the 220 volts AC? I don't mean to scare you but you are dealing with something that will easily kill you. First, only operate if grounded. See TM. Regardless if the breakers are on or off, the voltages you measured are being generated in the stator and could...

L1 to L0, L2 to L0 and L3 to L0 will give 120 volts each when connected for 208/120 volts. L1 to L2, L2 to L3 and L3 to L1 will be 208 volts. But you must balance loads on each phase within 5%. You need a basic generator operations course before employing such a set for single phase...

You can run a 300 ampere welder off a 10 kW generator. I can easily run my 200 ampere TIG welder off my 5 kW. If you want to live off the grid efficiently, inverters for base load, generator to supply the main loads. If your average power bill is $150 and your charge per kW-hour is $0.12...

Yes, the MEP-004A is too large and 3-phase only. While you could rewire for single phase but at 1 gallon per hour and current diesel price, you will be better served by something in the 5-10 kW range. Plus they have reconnection switches for 120 and 120/240 connection. It is always best to...

And quite a few more than labeled. They can run all day at their rated output, no big box store generator can do that. You can safely turn 15 kW loads for a bit. If temperatures are mild, even longer. One horsepower is about 748 Watts. So a 10k generator is producing about 13.4 horsepower...
