Hi I have a mep002a 5kw militiary generator single and triple phase and only have 2 120 outlets and a side panel with direct connection for signle or triple phase and would like to power my shed not really my house
Are there any general manuals that fit into setting up any generator for single or triple pase ?
Thanks a lot from Alaska

Yes it is I downloaded the three he had I didn't see one talking about connecting terminal panel they only talked about which switch to use for what pase and voltage and how to monitor your load

By the way thanks I seen these same manuals for sale I really don't want to pay for something I already help pay for with taxes I seen there was a switch box connection but that looked like it ran into something else I want a breaker panel that I connect to the generator and run stuff from it for a small shed shop that doesn't have electric there is no heat in the shed so I have a pipe going out for exaust and that generator really help heat up the place

See Table 6-4 on page 82, table gives what output terminals of TB-1 will give 120/240 volts single phase.

Does this answer your question?
