ive got the freezer on a 40amp breaker and that's the only thing on that circuit. there are other breakers in the panel though for lights outlets etc... the only other item that's a large draw will be the Vacuum packing machine which is 120V and draws i think about 20amps when its running

ill try to get some pictures today and get back to you

so back to my original question...am i just reading the gauge wrong or measuring wrong...or is the gauge terribly out and i need to recalibrate also this will be the only power source for the building. no power company near me

ok i just checked a picture that i have and the strap is in place. maybe i should have clarified...the building is a salmon processing facility built in a 40' shipping container so it is completely portable. the generator is the only power source, my thought was that running the green from the...

the bare ground is for the generator with a ground rod driven next to the unit. the green wire is from the panel. feel dumb asking but what's the bonding link?

not too concerned with needing soft start as the gen barely even burped when the freezer kicked on...just startled me a little when i had the clamp on set to INRUSH and couldn't figure out how the generator rated for 52 amps was able to read 84

So as many of you have already figured out, I'm not exactly a wiz at electricity...but I'm learning. sorry in advance for the long winded question but here goes.. ive got the 803A running 120/240 single phase powering the main panel in my building. the only thing that's 240 is the walk in...

HA HA ive been reading for a few hours now and I've come the grand realization that the more i learn the more confused i get.

what i don't understand at all is if i have a freezer unit with a max draw of 35amps how in the world did i get an inrush reading of almost 85amps at startup

right sorry 52 amps... inrush current measured i think 85 at startup but immediately dropped down into normal operating range. the 44 amps was from the walk in freezer and 2 ~1500 watt space heaters running. plus lights which draw basically nothing as they are LED. is there a way to adjust...

Got the unit up and running again today after the deoxit finally arrived and could do some cleaning on S6 and S8. gauges seem to be working normally again however a little concerned about the reliability of the ammeter. see the pictures but it seems to me if these units are rated for i believe...

gotcha. thanks a lot! Ive been reading the TM's and I'm going crosseyed.

so to calculate the load i would then add them all up? so in your instance you were drawing a little over 106? that can't be right

Thanks ill get on that this week. Im fairly sure i had both S6 and S8 in the correct positions and i did show load at one time and then it just went away. I ordered some deoxit to clean out the switches I also bought a clamp on meter so i can verify amperage independently although not entirely...

I have not yet measured it with my multimeter. The gauge wasn't moving a whole lot probable ranging from 57-63Hz and not bouncing either. i would dial it in to 60Hz and then it would occasionally climb then i would dial it back and it would hold for a minute before dropping so i would raise...

Sorry been away for a while. finally finishing up the build process and got to test the 803 with the new freezer today. freezer ran great on the genset however noticing some issues on the panel. the frequency seems to be fluctuating and as i can seem to be able to keep it dialed in to 60 I'm...

unit will be powering a salmon processing facility. not a terribly large one but i need the startup power for the walk in freezer. Freezer uses i think 35 amps on startup then drops considerably. everything else should run no problem(lights, water pumps, vacuum packer, etc...) Having too...

Already have them all printed out and in a binder. all but the one maintenance manual that's over 700 pages. I've got it on my hard drive and should be ok with that. I do have smaller backup generators and solar battery bank if i need power

Sounds good guys, thanks again for all the advice. will be setting up and testing everything probably within the next month or so before i get things ready to ship

Great advice all around. Break in oil was reccomended, at what point are you past break in and on to normal operation? Also the well nut...Im going to be running with a roughly 160 gallon Aux. fuel tank so won't that bypass the onboard tank completely?
