Yeah I def agree with you. I honestly don't think I need them for gen set purposes but I still want them just to hopefully extend the life of my compressors. I mean for $250 each if they get me 5 more years than I would have normally got without them then I think it's money well spent.

Funny you mentioned the soft start. I've been researching them quite a bit. I think they are great regardless of you're using gen power or not. Seems like a no brainer that me ac systems should have them from the manufacturer

Yessir I've watched the meter when both units started. My whole house is spray foamed. Right at 2400 sq feet and is heated and cooled by (2) 2 ton units.

Just got off the phone with my buddy that's a licensed electrician. He more or less confirmed my thoughts and that I would have to break the neutral/ground at one end to prevent a loop. The cheapest option would be to have a separate neutral bar and ground bar in my panel at my shop that I just...

Yeah. I did residential house wiring 20 years ago but never anything like this. Basically the generator would feed into a sub panel with 2 breakers essentially acting like a utility feed. From there each breaker would feed the main panel with interlock at my house and 1 at my shop. I know...

Ok. I edited my post to include the location. I live in south Mississippi though.

Ok guys I need some input on this one. I live in south Mississippi. So after a successful load test I did a temporary test on my house before I do my permanent install. I knew this generator was a beast but my home test blew me away. Initially I turned on my inside panel and 1 central a/c...

Yeah man I'm excited to hook it up and see.

Yes. At 13kw the gauge was at 105% which is around where colt did his YouTube load test. At 10kw the gauge is around 75%. I understand what your saying though.

Yessir. I built up to it I just didn't start my log until I got over 100% load. I let it warm up with no load and then did 50% for 5 minutes. 75% for 10 minutes then 100% for 10 minutes then started the log at 110%. I have 2 central a/c systems but they are both only 2 ton cause my whole house...

Hello all, I got my first new to me 803a gen set a couple weeks ago. Replaced all fluids and filters and put a set of batteries in it. I went ahead and put a can of sea foam in the fuel tank and fresh diesel. The unit fired right up and purred like a kitten. The unit already had the fuse mod and...

I guess so. I didn't see you respond to his comment and didn't think to check my screen name from my phone. Sorry about that. Y'all can delete this whole post if you want since it was more if an introduction than a troubleshooting thread. Thank you again man.

@patracy please see above thread. My name is still wrong. Should be Coastalguy. Thank you

Roger that

Hey boss you left out the first "a" when you made the correction. You got it spelled Costalguy. It should be Coastalguy. Thanks

Sorry about that guy. I thought I tagged him in my second reply

Haha I think you fat fingered it this time you left out the first "a". You got it spelled Costalguy and it's supposed to be "coastalguy"

Awesome! Thank y'all

On a different note can I change my screen name? It's supposed to be coastalguy. I guess I fat fingered the keys and didn't catch that I misspelled it.

Yessir. I've got your pinned post work all the TM's saved so I can print everything when I get home
