Yes that is true...i dont think ive ever seen a tqg set to just 120....seems pointless to me so i left that part out but yes it would only run 2 outlets.
I've seen it, but only because the operator didn't know the difference, and only discovered it because four of the six outlets on the spider box didn't work.
We usually run 3 phase for camp power distribution.
Actually our generators are civilian catapilliar and they are 3 phase. They do exist but are much rarer.
I only say "typically" in reference to a portable you'd find running a lsvw sized cp, if you've got something larger I'm assuming you've got an egs tech along for the ride.
I have a severe hate for cat engines.
They're reliable and parts are easy to get, but I hope they give you guys a better manual then they give the rest of the world where they try to cover 30 different models in the one book, and nothing in the book looks like what you actually have.
We've gone on a bit of a tangent here but just for shits and giggles can you think of any kit that actually needs 3 phase power....I can only think of one and it gave me ton of problems overseas when the egs guy upgraded the power grid and swapped the lines that phase 1 and phase 2 were on and didnt say anything lol.
Honestly the only piece of army kit I've ever seen that uses or makes use of 3 phase power is the spider box, which brings us back nicely from the tangent to the point where I said it isn't really beneficial unless you're running a generator larger than 5kw.
