I recently purchased a 3500/4400 watt generator primarily for home use. My house already has an isolation panel and a twistlick 240V plug outside for the generator. According to the schematics that came with the generator it has a center tap witch means that it's only capable of half the rated wattage on each of the 120V receptacles. I've seen the wiring diagrams to remove the center tap in order to get the full wattage from a single 120V receptacle but then the 240V is no longer available that I need for the house.
Is it possible to add a switch to the generator to allow me to switch from the center tap 240V to a full wattage 120V in order to run my 15K AC unit on my 5th wheel.
The 5th wheel has a 50 amp service but I did not get the second AC. I could temporarily move the AC over to the other leg of the 120/240 service but I still don't think that the generator would start it with only half of the wattage.
Thanks for any input and happy camping!
