Here are some pictures of the gen and spider box. I got two 4 foot ground stakes and made a mount so that I could store them on the trailer. I installed a ground connection on the spider box and got some 6 gauge stranded green wire to use for my ground leads. Looking in the spider box my...

I will look into the 3 phase spider I see your point. I have not had a chance to mess with the frequency issue had to move it to the back burner, Hope to get to tear into it in the morning.

A three phase spider box is pretty expensive and I do not have anything that runs on three phase nor do any of the local clubs that would want to borrow the trailer. I keep it locked in the single phase operation mode. What would the advantage of having a three phase spider box give me?

Here is a pic of the generator. I got the bottom portion of the trailer done with a rhino liner type paint. I need to paint the top portion but have not picked a color yet. All together I think I have about $2000 invested in this including my spider box and cords. Having the ability...

Not sure but this generator is very popular. All the rental yards around here have 20 + of this model in their yards and they have been around for years. Its got to be a normal and excepted set up. The generator has 2 50 amp hubbell twist locks which are for your runs to spider boxes...

Yes it does have three phase capabilities. I keep it in 1 phase operation. Here is the speck sheet: http://www.kwietpower.com/_docs/specs/DGK25B_Spec_B.pdf

Ya I'm positive its a 60Hz model. And it does have an internal voltage regulator. Next week I'm going to play with the rpm and adjust everything out. Get a new 6/4 100ft cord and move the spider box hubble connectors over to that. Take the 6/3 and put 120v twist locks on it and make...

Knowing I can do it and doing it are two different things. I appreciate all the help. I will get a new 6/4 cord and re purpose the 6/3 for something else. I'm all about doing things the right, correct and safe way, but I do like to have the knowledge about what will and will not work in my...

The generator is a 4 wire circuit and so is the spider box. Guess I got a bad cord you thing for $300 with the 50amp hubble connectors it would have been all correct. Its 100feet of 6/3 not 6/4 like I thought. So my cord only has 3 wires not 4. The cord is running two hot legs and a...

OK so let me see if this is the problem. The cord is a 6/3 and is set up with two hots using the black and white wire. The green is still ground. That comes from the generator to the spider box. When it gets to the spider box my green ground connects to the ground on the box. My black...

Thanks for all of the input. I checked the spider box and all of my connections are tight. I can not find anything wrong with anything in the spider box. I pulled apart the cord running from the generator to the spider box. I noticed that my gen 50 amp hubbell outlet has 4 wires. My spider...

You would think that since I'm getting 123v and 55Hz t the spider box and the outlet check plug says it is wired correct everything would work fine. I found that when I plug in a large florescent fixture to the two 120v outlets on the generator the light lights up bright and fine. When I...

I have a 25kw Kwiet power DGK25B I got it at salvage with a blown engine. I replaced the engine is original equipment. I really have not used it much other than to test it out. I hook a volt meter up and I get 123 from the 12v sockets and I get 250 from the 240 sockets. Seems acceptable...
