Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yes, I believe soAre the terminals on the air con labeled L-1, L-2 and L-3?
The schematics don't seem to verify theConvention is Black for L1, Red for L2 and Orange or Blue for Phase 3....hard to believe the ECU would not have a phase monitor to stop running backwards but let's hope Guy is right and it is a simple fix...
I have a 803a not 804. I am hoping the compressor is not seized , but the generator just not large enough to start it up. (which is startling )I guess I missed the '10kW generator' post...
Unless it is uber efficient or massively inefficient, a 5ton Mil ECU will typically run at or around 10kW on the gen...so to start it with the motor surges etc. you would likely need 15 to 20kW...preferably 20kW depending on the generator and its ability to respond to inductive loads..
Now, if your 804 can handle a momentary overload it will likely run it...once the surge is over it should settle back...
Unless it is a heatpump then the heat side will probably be just a fan and resistors...much less surge as it is almost all resistive load...Add up the kW of the resistors, add on two KW for the fan and that is the size generator (or larger) you will need for heat..
Kicked, the short circuit, GuyWhen we had to work on one of these beasts, I always hooked into my 60 KW gen set, without ever thinking about load. I had two shop vans and a light set for our tent city. So i would have never even got close to loading the set to the max.
By nothing, same thing, do you mean it kicked the short circuit, or over load?
