30KW @ 85% load drawing .5gal/hr. not unless it's a magical generator from the land of quadruple XL gallons. and where are you getting diesel for $3/gallon? you seem set on something bigger than 10KW despite not understanding your actual draws; adding up the breakers is a fairly useless...

If spending $1000 vs $500 a week of runtime isn't an issue, go for it, but only if you're comfortable doing the reconnection per sewerzuk's research - http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?78616-re-wiring-my-MEP-004a-for-different-voltages-including-single-phase. an 004 (and 005) are...

see this http://www.nojolt.com/three_phase_and_single_phase_electric.shtml shortest summation i can give (cribbed from that link): "Notice that single phase two pole current - 220 or 240 volt usually controlled by double pole breakers in the service panel, is single phase because the...

err - that's not really correct. an 004 IS a 3 phase unit, but thanks to sewerzuk's hard work, brains, and experimentation, it can be reconnected to single phase. i believe in his tests, after reconnection, he was able to pull nearly the full 15KW. iusing an 004 or 005 as wired for the...

have to agree with isaac-1 here. i have an all-electric house (heat pump for heat/AC, dryer, range/stove, hot water, etc). i debated an 003 vs an 004, but eventually got an 003 and am quite happy i did. as isaac-1 says, fuel usage becomes a significant issue when you're running the gen for a...
