Had a salesman, his words, show up today to show the us how the new village standby generator works. It is a self contained unit and has not yet been connected to the well(s) it will eventually power. He brought a load bank with him to demonstrate all the display functions and start up proceedure. We watched the KW meter as he switched on the loads. He would say 5kw, we shook our heads no. 10Kw. No. 15 Kw. No. ....125Kw...NO. I am guessing that the metering was not connected correctly. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) A & C phase showed correct KW but B phase was negative. How embarrasing. Glad I am not the only one that gets caught occasionally.
