I have a Metro / indian made 4kVA generator head that came wired for 220 VAC split phase. Since i only have 120 VAC loads on my backup load center (this is only for backup use not daily running) i would like to re-wire the gen head for 120 so I don't have to deal with the issue of balancing the loads. Does anyone here done this? I do not have a wiring diagram for this head.
Thanks Carl

If you 4 slip rings its easy.
If you have 3 its not possible see transformer threads for other options

doug,
Thanks for the reply, the gen head only has 3 slip rings so it's not worth it for me to go the transformer route. Since this is only for backup use and the load is never really that large anyway i will just keep it at 220 Vac.
Thanks
