Hello,
I just found this forum and I hope you guys can help me with a wiring question.
I have a 3 phase converter and I need a little bit help wiring it to my specific receptacle. I have wired a converter to a piece of machinery before but this one is a bit more difficult and I don't want to screw it up.
The outlet I have to wire is a NEMA L21-30. It's a 5 wire outlet. My 3 phase generator consists of black, red and blue (plus ground - no common). I know I can use the pre-existing ground but how about the common from the single phase (I think I can)?
Below is an image of the receptacle.
How I would wire it would be
X - Black (L1)
Y - Red (L2)
Z - Blue (L3)
W - Common
G - Ground (Existing Ground From Single Phase Power)
Would this be correct?
Thanks in advance for the help!
