Got my 802A running today :)
I plugged in a 1,000 watt heater into the outlet and within a couple of seconds the heater stopped.
No power at the outlet.
According to the schematic CB3 controls the power to the out. I looked all around the control box and no CB3 to be found.
What I did find was a black in-line fuze holder to the left of the relay block cable tied to the wire harness. The 9 amp fuse in it was blown. Put a new one in and power was restored to the outlet.

Do others have the in-line fuze holder or a real CB3?
Where is CB3 suppose to be located?


Here is a picture of the fuse holder.

Not sure if it is CB3 or not but there is a CB located behind the outlet. It is barely visible in this picture on the far left side. Circled in Red. It kept tripping when I was trying to run a hairdryer off the outlet. 10 amps seems very low to me.

Thank you all for looking at your gen sets.
After digging thru TM9-6115-641-24P I found that they used two different Ground Fault Interruptors when they built the 802's.
Page 32 Figure 8 shows the GFI item 11 in detail B with a fuse holder. The following page listing the parts indicates that units built with 19450-1 GFI
has the fuze holder in the wiring harness and units that were built with the 19990-1 GFI don't have the fuse holder and apparently have a circuit breaker.
