ProPokerPlayer. The converter cost $500 with shipping so it is not that huge of an expense to deem it worthwhile for me to get an electrician out here...which btw would cost $100 just to get him to my door because of the travel.
Anyway PPP here is why I said what I said about t1,2,and 3 not mattering what they are hooked up to. I might have misenterpreted it but I'll post so you can see.....
Pair up the following leads: (1&7, 2&8, 3&9) to one of the T1, T2, or T3 output lines. Leads 4,5,6 are bolted together as one electrical point and then insulate. First hook up the pairs (1&7, 2&8, 3&9) to T1,T2, and T3. Measure and record your line voltage. Now hook the pairs in the order of T1, T3, T2, and record the line to line voltage. Finally hook the pairs in the order of T2, T3, T1 and record the voltage. One of thes combinations will give the best line to line voltage balance.
Voltage to ground...Lines T1 and T2 are the same as L1 and L2, your single phase lines. They will read approx 120V. T3 references a floating ground and will read somewhere between 190 and 210V. This is normal. Make sure all controls run from either L1 and L2, or T1 and T2.
Anyway...the problem is that I had the outlet hooked up wrong. I unhooked it again and the generator ran fine. Whether it is running the right direction I have no idea...how do you tell when you can't seen any moving parts. So that is where my experience ends...I am used to 2 hots so it doesn't matter where they go in the outlet. I thought it would be the same with this but obviously I was wrong.
So on the outlet I have X,W,Y, and ground and other than the ground I don't know what goes where.
