I purchased a rebuilt rail car genset with a 20kW/25kVA 3phase DELCO E-5399M2 (powered by a Detroit Diesel 2-71) as standby power for my home. I intended to use two lines (plus neutral) to provide 120V/208V to my split-phase 120V/240V panel through a transfer switch. I am concerned how the unbalanced load will affect the generator; therefore, I would prefer to rewire the output to single phase (zig-zag). Unfortunately, I received no documentation with the unit and when I removed the wiring panel I only viewed the four power and neutral wires coming from inside the generator outer shell. Does anyone have information on this unit that would enable me to rewire it from 3phase wye to single phase zig-zag? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
