Picked up a pair at TSC earlier. Suppose to have a core to trade in for each... but if you don't ask for it, you aren't getting it. $84.99/ea before tax.
Oh, and they say for water use only. That red sticker is there to meet EPA guidelines, as it does not ship with an EPA approved spout (and the one I use, as linked above, is not one of those god forsaken designs). It can be easily peeled off.
Heres what I use, and am quite happy with
NATO can (Wavian brand, the best): http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/GJC20 (you wont see the name Wavian on that page... but thats what they are).

Suits me well. They also sell replacement gaskets for them...
Yes three circuits via double pole breakers in the grey load center bolted to the front of the rolling rig. 1 Element EA on the first two 25A circuits, and 2 elements in series on the third 15A circuit. All wired up with 10 gauge. Input cable is 6/3, and the separate grounding cable is 6AWG.
Well I drove the ground rod yesterday and proceeded to give my 803 a nice workout.... performed like a charm. No sheet metal on the load bank yet (in case something wasn't right... I didn't want to be undoing all those self tapping sheet metal screws. I only ran it for an hour or so, but the fan...
The bane of modern convenience. I intend on putting the batteries into the unit (after initial testing of course) only when the power is down, and otherwise storing them near the unit. I hate finding corroded batteries and a ruined device, no matter the price point.
Well welcome. 15kw is much bigger than MOST folks will ever need. Also with the military units, at the 15kw level you are looking at three phase power only (where 10kw and under are single or three phase). You will want single phase if you aren't specifically running 3 phase equipment. Do you...
OK so my military supplier reached out and BW is playing games. The obviously have no open orders with the government for this part, so its all custom tooled to make new ones. Min quantity is 2 (not a big deal), but they are looking at even more money than you have been quoted already...

In light of the events in Houston... those who have been putting off refilling their tanks, or who do not currently have adequate fuel stores as-is... you should start ASAP. Diesel stopped flowing...
I do know I have to stop at Lowes tonight and find a good wire crimper. In working a bit on the internal wiring over the weekend, my basic tool was making real crappy crimps on the .312 connectors. Not a good spot for a poor crimp!
Thanks for confirming. Yeah I intend on bonding N to G with the included screw, and I have a separate 6AWG ground that will be hooked to a rod installed locally to where I test. I am going to be installing a ground from my cluster of elements, to the frame, and from the frame back into the...
