Some of you are following my RV build. I have a powertech 8wk diesel generator. However some of the wiring was a little messy... Got that all cleaned up... it fires up, etc. Yay!
Now I'm at the point of testing 110v out of it. I have the following schematic:
To clarify I have my T1 and T3 going to the 2 front 35a breakers. T2 and T4 are both going to the grounding point on the gen head. Along with the ground and neutral from the 110v side I'm trying to test with. That leaves me with a black "hot". I should be able to wire up the other end of my test wire to an outlet (check with my meter first obviously...) and plug something into it and get power right? Eventually they'll go into an auto switch/charger/inverter setup. But for now I just want to make sure its working properly, the voltage regulator is working, etc.
Also I see a #12 jumper wire between the T1/T3 leads on the breakers. I'm guessing thats the output sense of the regulator on the 120v side to regulate power output? I think I still need that...
