Hi all,
I've just completed a break-in run with a Westinghouse 5300DF generator using a Hughesnet Watchdog+EPO to monitor power draw as I varied the load and kept the total draw under ~45% of max rated watts.
Breakin was connected using the built-in 30A 120V TT-30R receptacle with an adapter.
The generator also has an L14-30R receptacle with a 120V/240V switch. I've searched here, and google, youtube, etc., as well as scouring the manual -- I can't find documentation of whether the 240V mode runs outputs 2x 120V split phase or something else.
The manual does indicate that the only way to output the full rated power is by using the L14-30R in 240V mode.
So, Should I run my 50A 310-GKR plugged into the L14-30R via adapter in 120 or 240 off the generator?
Thanks in advance!
Matt
