This may be the wrong place to ask this question but here goes . We just purchased the Champion 46540 yesterday. It will run the 13500 air conditioner but the air never gets cold. Could that be the generator not producing enough amps or could it be the air conditioner? We leave for two week vacation next Friday and need to get this fixed before we leave.
I have seen something similar but this was on another generator (MaxTools).
I used the NEMA twistlock to a 30 amp dogbone and it would not run the A/C. When I plugged into the regular outlet, A/C would run fine.
My only guess is that the 30 amp twistlock uses both 120v windings and they are 180 degrees out...
If I scan and post the wiring diagram can anyone help me decipher it?
Thank you..
granted.. that sounds like an A/C problem, I have that unit and it will definetly run your A/C
wally.. you may have been under powered
but i guarantee , there is NO such thing as a 240-120 genset being 180 degrees out of phase on ganged duplex outlets
if you put the dogbone on an out let that had the windings split, that would be 240 volts, and you would have smoked the generater when you plugged in the dogbone
they can be series for 240 or paralleled for 120, that cannot be out of phase , if you reverse one set of windings the thing will burn up.
