I've read that changing phase while running is bad...I think it says by the switch to turn it off to change what voltage and phase is output....yes I plan on using the 52 amp 240 volt setup...I think it will work best going into my box in the house...but not exactly sure...I'm assuming since the 240 comes into the house in 2 120 legs that everything 110 will work but it will have the 240 for the big stuff like the ac system...I may be in la la land with that but have to look into if that's how it works...if not I can go without ac if need be and my heat is all low volt 110...my biggest need for 220 is the well pump as I need that to work...so off into research land to find out...I also want to use the 240 because I can use a higher gauge wire that doesn't cost as much...which again I have to figure out which size to get! I don't have a farm but this spring a few people were selling their heating oil tanks so I snatched up 2 of them and set them up behind the garage to use for heat or power...I have a filter on each one then ran a copper line to hook them both together...I'll need a line to the genset from there to finish the hook up...how long did you run on 150 gallons?Make sure to never, never, never switch from 1ph to 3ph (single phase to three phase or vise versa) with the set running. From your comments it seems you just need 1 ph. Bad things can happen if you do. Do you have several tractors or pieces of equipment? We used to farm full time and just had the one 150 gal tank.
