Cliff,

What is the advantage of the 220v setup? What do you have in the bus that uses 220 or do you split it like a 50a setup?


Gus,

For some reason it didn't like the panel being fed from the two 110 twist locks on the generator,

It would trip one of the breakers (on genset) after several hours at random.

I switched to the 220 as a test and it never happened again.

I still have the same load on the same side of the panel.

YMMV

Cliff,

I'm still not clear what you did? Did you have two separate circuits in the panel at first? I assume you now have two 110 circuits?

The problem may have been that the two were not balanced, one is 20a and the other30a. The 20a circuit is marked AC on mine.

I have no problem with mine because of the way I have them loaded. Maybe Honda did it that way to avoid heavier wiring for a 50a circuit, who knows?
