[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2804290, member: 807"] When looking at the military gensets, bear in mind that their rated power is in worst case scenario, like at 10,000 feet altitude. They are way under rated. They usually are set up for both 3 phase power and single phase. When running single phase your output will be slightly derated. They also usually have a frequency meter that vibrates at the frequency they are running at. Tuning the frequency is as simple as looking at the meter and adjusting the governor. Read all the details on the auction, they come in many conditions and you have to be careful of what you bid on. They are a great option for having a backup genset. [/QUOTE]
