Traced the grounding and the 10 HP motor is grounded via the frame grounding to the main generator, so am getting the Terry's preferred wiring setup. I rechecked everything and am still getting today 250V - 33A on the Metro6/1 and 62A 250V on the Changfa Clone with the ST15. (got every heater, dryer, welder and airconditioner in the place on at the same time LOL.)
When I cut the breakers to the 10 HP motor the changfa clone with the ST15 begins bellowing black smoke and blows a breaker.. (60 AMP). The motor won't generate without the ST15 running or hooked up to another power source for excitation.
I am generating power in the correct direction as I installed a standard Utility type Electric meter in series from the Motor to the panel, When I am running the motor at less than 1800 RPM the little wheel runs to the left very slowly , IT stops as I speed up to 1800 and then begins to spin very fast to the right when I run the RPM up to about 1850 which is where I am at the above settings..
I wish I had some more sophisticated equipment to see what I am really putting out , but that would take a load maker wayayyy above what I need around the DIY homestead.
The fuel usage studies I intend to run will tell the tale I am sure
