Well Professor you got me, early morning math never did work for me lol.
But more on budracer s gen, the update post said that he got it to work with one of the 20A outlets. Im wondering if the AVR is taking its readings from only one winding?? The convenience cord basically has 4 prongs and thus takes 2x120V circuits from the 120/240 outlet, the 120v circuit that you are using is not voltage regulated.Because only one of the 2 coils is being monitored for Voltage regulation in the generator, you are limited in how much load in-balance you can have. If you use the AVR pair, it regulates, if you use the other pair, it does not and you will see a voltage drop and amp rise thus blowing the breaker.
The solution;
On the backside of the 120/240V twist lock plug, reverse the 2 hot connections. They should be labeled X and Y, if unsure trace the wire back to the breakers. Doing this will move your load to the voltage regulated winding without need to purchase anything extra.
