re: Help Exciting a generator

Thanks. I googled that one. Our generator is hard wired directly to the main breaker box and has no outlets directly on it. When at the camp, I googled several ways but had no luck. I also read that its just a matter of getting it right so obviously I'm missing something. Also doesn't help when you don't know what you are doing and don't want to fry anything else on your generator.

This thread is awesome because people are going to learn a lot from it.
You usually hear it called "flashing the field" so that might be why people don't know what you're talking about. I'll have to respond tomorrow if somebody doesn't before then. You need to do it with something higher voltage than a battery (Meg meter or something).
What model alternator does it have?

You could turn the main on with all the other breakers off, and find a breaker with a 110v outlet To do this.
This is what we used, but we add double pole switchs to each side.
