Amprobe with a min max function is your friend. In the loosest mathmatical sense your inrush spike shouldn't be higher than 9 amps, But theres alot of unknowns there. Softstart is the way I would go.

If you have it connected to the house you are grounded. Depending on local codes you may not want another rod. For example : if you drive a rod at the generator that rod becomes part of the grounding network, I have had municipalities get bitey over this because now it needs to be able to...

runable but not recommended. for future reference P/I*V. In your case 55*13= 715watt. this leaves 215 watts for the tractor and tractor accessories IF you run full load. Rule of thumb for continuous is 80%.

A simple warning about mounting meters on a panel cover or deadfront. Panel covers are designed to withstand a set amount of blast force, (the pressure created in the worst case situation if the mains were to have an arcflash/arcblast incident) while the odds of it happening are very slim...

I cant claim expertise on this component, but reading other posts it appears that way. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

The 16 awg wires I believe are the trip wires. IIRC they take a signal from the CTs and trip the breaker

Without scouring the diagrams, There should be enough existing wiring to accomplish that. really youll be replacing 1 gauge feed with another (freeing up a few in the process). Sounds like a solid plan, just make sure you dont cut out anything on the fuel/engine control

Looking good. You really do have a fun project. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I can only provide you answers based on physics and best practice, You are entirely welcome to do things your way it has no bearing on my day to day life.

Their specific reason couldnt tell you. Reasons it might be: type of insulation. might be a multi purpose part. Tap rule.

Transformer spot on Generator, lets assume you are running 20 amps and 0. The field windings have to create a magnetic field strong enough to incuce 20 amps of current and the stronger the field the more work the engine must perform. The unloaded leg is subject to the same strength magnetic...

You are welcome to your opinion, and are more than welcome to follow any information you see fit, your loss of efficiency is not my problem. Yes the neutral current carries the unbalanced load, and without it solidly grounded the voltages would fluctuate to dangerous (to equipment) levels...

The closer to balanced the less wasted energy, in an electrical distribution system the neutral (L0) carries the unbalanced load back to the source. Example: if you draw 10 amps on 1 leg and 7 on the other the neutral is carrying 3 amps back to the source and is not performing the work it is...

It almost looks like it isnt detecting phase A.

If your meter supports it there will be a spot marked Hz (some meters have it as a secondary function and you need to press a button for it) Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

start with verifying output voltage and frequency with a known good multimeter

winding numbering should be fairly standard, but how you restructure them can slightly change. I would use the diagram form the TM as that is how it will get tapped with the reconnection switch.

It looks like he wired double delta, And the Polaris connector count is correct. If i had to venture a guess the 3 wires are instrumentation and AVR feed. It looks like it will work that way. Your 003, did it loose the avr or did a winding fail? Another issue you might have is getting...

Seems simple enough, I can try to guide you through repairing it

Try this, with the breaker off and the generator not running, check the resistance of the output terminals to each other and to ground. You may have a wiring fault downstream of the breaker. The spark and motor skip has me suspecting a short.
