Search 'Ampacity chart SOOW' and click this: https://www.stayonline.com/product-resources/reference-circuit-ampacity.asp
In an 803A you will have 2 conductors hot, a neutral, and a ground.....for single phase, 240 volt service.
4 conductor 6 AWG SOOW copper. https://www.sjoow.com/6-4-soow-600-volt.html
Shop around for price. I just pulled that off the net to confirm my verbiage.
Calibrate the gauge. Check connections on your percent amp gauge - confirm crimped fittings are tight and no corrosion. You have exercised the switches with contact cleaner so they should be good. Now calibrate the percent amp gauge and remember what everyone has said: these ain't...
I believe you are correct. However, if you ever get 'Alaska Electric Power' to your processing facility you would need to open the ground to neutral bond. As you describe.... your generator is the source of all electrical power, drop a ground rod (proper installation - check NEC... 8 or 10...
1st pic is a 3 phase military wiring job. Lower right corner the ground to neutral bonding strap is in place. This generator is configured as an independent power source.
2nd pic is my wiring job, single phase. Lower right corner the ground to neutral bonding strap is open (has white tape on...
Need to search the net on that one. Essentially a motor at rest needs lots of energy to begin rotation. Once up to speed it will draw your 35 amps. But to get to normal speed from a standing start with electo-magnetic energy it takes more amps than normally rated. Check to see if the...
52 amps with no derating is what the data tag says - single phase/240 volts. 41.6 amps should read 100% on your percent rated current meter with a resistive load.....like an electric stove. Refrigerators and other motor / compressor equipment will pull more amps during start up cycles so you...
Each leg defines the amps. No addition. I had the generator maxed out on the stove and measured all 3 loads. Our 803s are good for 52 amps with a resistive load and no derating. I'm no electrician but I think my Black cable pulling 53.25 amps is equal to the Red and White cables combined -...
Clamp meter on the wires coming off main lugs. Red and Black will be hot. White is neutral and will probably have a balancing load on it. On one of my test runs I had 50.35 amps on Red, 53.25 amps on Black, and 3.05 amps on the White. I was testing on a stove and I think the control circuits...
Fuel pumps: get yourself a couple of these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/atx-e1074 - Airtex E1074. You will also need a G-17 fuel filter for each pump: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=293509&jsn=253 . Details here...
