Three phase to single phase generator advice needed

[AndyD]

Hi guys.
Going to be doing an installation on a building with a 3Phase board. They have 3core cable.

Why only a 3-core cable? No neutral and no CPC?

The generator is a three phase/Single phase Kipor 12kva petrol gen. There should be plates to change the output from three to single phase.

I doubt the generator will have an option to be used as a single phase supply if it's wound as a 3-phase generator, it will probably overheat if you just load one of the phases and not the remaining two.

I'm suspecting that it's rated as 230/400v and this is causing some confusion. This just means you can configure the windings in star or delta, it doesn't mean it's capable of giving you an option of single or three phase. If it's configured in star it will give you 230v 3-phase and you can then ground the centre point (neutral).

I'm not sure where the links will be on this particular model to change the 230/400v option but the generator suppliers should be able to give you this info.
