I catch on to some but some of it is above my head too. I have forwarded all of tbpew's info to the electrical gurus that be.

Hopefully they will be up to the task of full understanding.

Thanks again tbp.... much appreciated.

D4T, that kind of electrical equipment will easily fry you if you make a mistake, do you have someone qualified to do it?

Yes sir... one of the brethren is a licensed electrician who does this kind of thing for a living.

he is the one I forwarded all of the info to.

I am just trying to find a step down transformer (we found a used one for $1700 but still looking in case we can find a better deal). Don't let me level of understanding scare you.

They will be keeping me far from it when the installation goes on.

that price sounds more like what a new one would cost.
If you tell me:

KVA (or Kw) of generator
Output voltage of Generator
Will this installation be out of the weather

I can get you a quote from Austin International (used equipment but has some initial warranty).

If you are not opposed to used units, I may be able to locate one up here that could only cost you $250.00 plus shipping (another $250.00??).

Let me know if this seems worthwhile...but until Austin has quoted you...DO NOT BUY from somebody else!

If anyone knows of any good deals out there please let me know. (preferably in the Texas area... I don't know how big or heavy these things are and how hard they would be to ship)

Thanks,...

Good grief....I thought this was another 1 Step vs 3 Step discussion

I am attempting to find out that information now.

I do know that it is a 100kw generator and that the installation will be out of the weather. We feel that we need to enclose it to help deter theft if for no other reason.

Actually portions of the thread have been... didn't you read tbpews posts on using multiple 1 phase transformers?

Okay... I have the info.

It is a 100kw generator
480v max (150v per leg)
It can be inside or outside. The plan is for inside because of theft issues with the facility being empty most months.
