Couple questions if I can. Will the transformer be inside? Most Of the transformers I am seeing are 480v by 208 v but that is different than what you are using correct?
Have you been able to complete the project with the transformer? I have been delayed but after getting my 805 running I am wondering how the transformer set up is working.
Yes. One arrived today and one other plug this week as well as 4 receptacles. They were around $130 for the plugs each. The receptacles were under $50. I got them through ebay. The receptacles were takeouts and the plugs are new minus box on one and open box on the other.
Regardless of...
To verify the 805B is rated at what 104amps and should be able to exceed that In a similar manner to those overloading an 802 or 803 during say the start up of a condensing unit (hp or ac).
Is the 104amps correct on these?
What is the view on balancing the legs what I mean is what is an...
On breaking out the 3ph into two 1ph I was planning on using a 100 amp 3ph panel with a main 100 amp disconnect and 1ph breaker to feed each panel. Placed side by side in the panel that should pull L1 and L2 for one breaker and L3 and L1 for the second.
Does anyone know if any leg on these...
We are on the same page. Mine is trailer mounted and keeping it mobile was my thought. I have ordered 5100p9w for the cord and 5100r9w for the generator and house plus one for the barn to do monthly’s and run 3ph equipment at times. Is that in line with your approach?
Good point on finishing the drawing.
The ground is tied into the panels there is no 400 amp switch just a meter box. In the meter box (2) 4/0 200 amp services are run into one meter and tied together in front of the meter. On the output side/load of the meter they are split back into (2)...
Here is a crude drawing. The mains are fed from the same meter can.
I am assuming the generator would not be bonded as the generator would pick up the bonding in the main panel. The panels are both bonded and I would assume you would run ground and neutral to/from each panel to the 3phase 100...
I will draw one up.
The panels would need to be all utility or all generator no mix loading.
My other thought was on grounding, neutral and bonding. My plan was to use 5 pin pin and sleeve style cable to feed the fused outside disconnect which would allow the generator to be grounded/neutral...
I have an 805B we are working to get running and are planning out the connections to the house.
We have a split 400 amp set up with (2) 200 amp panels.
To use the 805B to the fullest it made sense to install a three phase 100 amp panel and feed the 200 amp panels from there. That would...
