Yes there are 4 lugs on the side for hooking up the three phase. The single phase is distributed through two regular plugs. I'll have an electrician over next week to wire everything up. I'm just trying to understand the reason for needing all the flexability.
This unit is a real study in military overdesign. They paid $4500 for this in 82. The genset is mounted on a cast aluminum frame that floats via large rubber shocks inside another skid mounted frame that all weighs about 300 lbs. The 3kw rating is wildly understated unless your on top of Mt. Everest, and it has all of 14hrs. on the clock.
I've ordered reprints of all the manuals, so maybe that will make it all come togeather.
