These Onan JC series are really good reliable units. We had a bunch of them in the Police Districts in Philly. I had one district that had an outage and theirs ran for like 3 months because they didn't notice. Finally a detective with an office next to the utility room complained about the noise...

Personally I like water cooled 1800 RPM units. I've got an old 7.5 KW Kohler here that will run all my single phase loads. Running them on propane is good because it eliminates fuel problems from sitting, it's just a slight decrease in power, but I never notice it

Just think of all these people with their batteries like that Jackery thing and a suicide cord. You won't even hear it running. 7.2 Kv is kinda spicy

I just get a kick out of how it's so common now that you can buy premade suicide cords.

Wonder if they make them for this thing. I know some day I'll find a use for it LOL. It's kind of scary when it runs

I never tried this. I've had people tell me it works. It's kind of interesting though. Potatoes

If it is seriously overloaded it should be tripping that thermal. You know an amp clamp type ammeter is really cheap at places like harbor freight. If you say it's 13 amp full load that is really kind of pushing a 15 amp circuit. You say a 20 amp breaker? Is there anything else on the circuit...

Should be a diagram on the cover for the peckerhead showing high and low voltage connections

LOL

Try here for the specs. Capacitor sizes are listed for some https://regalrexnordliterature.callmss.com/literature.php#view_SB0256E https://regalrexnordliterature.callmss.com/literature.php There isn't any kind of long extension cord involved is there? Too much voltage drop will allow the...

Yeah, 3 acre property all well packed and covered with stone. 9000 SF, garage doors front and rear, 3 phase 120/240 open delta. Now all I want is my 25 year old body back lol. I could build some wild stuff. Where are all the 20 something kids I figured I could hire when I got old?

Use an inductive ammeter to see if what it's drawing is within spec. Could be a faulty breaker or something else

Just an old man's shop. Owned it for about 10 years. Wish I had it in the 80's when I was in my 20's
