Generac guys...we have a small problem...I hope...
we just hooked up a 15kw 1PH gen set (customer provided)
we installed a Generac ATS with an integrated panel (I don't have the model number off hand)
the service to the building is 3PH 208/120V.
we used a 2P 70A circuit breaker to feed from the utility, the Generator has a 65A CB in it.
When we hooked it up and started to run the procedures in the book, no problems.
did the manual startup...everything worked fine.
now, here is where the problem occurred....when we set the generator on Auto...
after about 10 seconds, it kicked the generator on, even though there was still utility power (we hadn't shut that down yet)
the generator ran for about 15 mins until we shut it down.
so the question is....was this supposed to happen? or could the fact that the utility provides 208V (instead of 240V) be an issue?
any thoughts?
