It’s not worth it honestly. You’re better off replacing the rotator motor with a single phase 1/3HP one, and tracking down an RCM1B. Then you can run it off of the grid without the hassle and price premium of a generator.coastalsyrolover wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 4:39 amOkay folks. I have a 220V 3ph thunderbolt. Does anyone know of any good generators I can get to power the old girl? Also since the blower isn't stock, if I get one that isn't the same voltage, I'd have to run the chopper and blower on separate physical plug ins rather than going through the RCM1 correct? I just need to make sure I haven't overlooked something.
Can you plug a 240 single phase blower motor into a regular generator by itself?Tyler wrote: ↑Sun Sep 09, 2018 7:12 pmIt’s not worth it honestly.

I would advise replacing the motors, or getting a VFD to run the whole unit off a generator on the RCM 3 without the hassle of replacing the motors.coastalsyrolover wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 4:39 amOkay folks.

Hmm... now there’s an idea. Oh and just for an advisory: the RCM3 is the solenoid runner on the 1003... we have RCM1s but I know of a few rural/remote fire stations that may be willing to do that...NKTBOLT wrote: ↑Mon Sep 10, 2018 10:28 pmI would advise replacing the motors, or getting a VFD to run the whole unit off a generator on the RCM 3 without the hassle of replacing the motors.coastalsyrolover wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 4:39 amOkay folks.
