Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
Thanks for the input. I will be replacing the outlets with heavy duty ones. Hopefully this will clear up the fluctuations. As for the smoke, yes the unity was turned upside down and sideways so I'm sure it will clear up then. The only damage the unit had was actually on the inside behind the front panel!?! The plastic cover that is over the outlets and everything was smashed. Elim replaced the shattered breaker and is sending a replacement breaker for the cracked one and a new voltmeter. Thanks again. Hey, I got to start page 110.....:B310Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
Ok, I received and installed the replacement breaker for my ELM-3000 refurb. Thanks to Emilie at eliminternational! Turns out the breaker along with the voltmeter were literally smashed. Anyway I have two questions regarding the ELM-3000. 1) I seem to getting a considerable amount of smoke from the exhaust. Is this normal? 2) I have an analog voltmeter plugged into an outlet in my TT. When the AC is running the meter needle bounces (pulsates) alot. Mind you that the AC works great while on the genset. The pulsing seems to match the sound from the AC compressor. Also the voltage never drops below the 114v mark while doing this. Is this normal? Thanks to all on this forum, there is a wealth of information here.310Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
After lurking here for 2 weeks, and reading all 100+ posts I finally decided to pick up a ELM-3000. I purchased via the eliminatorusa website and got a refurb for $249, $315 shipped. I just took delivery today and the genset appears to have survived shipping. I does appear to have a bad breaker. The first breaker refuses to reset (even with the unit off), it just keeps falling to the tripped position. Has anyone experienced this? I am waiting on a rep to contact me next week on how to get a new breaker. Otherwise, the unit fired right up.356Views0likes0Comments
