The monthly test of the 15k gen-set DIDN'T PASS.
Last time i had to polish an old ground stud.
Nope. She'll run fine for 30 seconds then trip out. Stays running.
Somewhere there's a load in the guts. I t appears as though the 220 works. I think I'll start unplugging stuff until it works.
Sheesh,, I know I’m 30 years behind the times but this post is from outer space, as far as I can tell….
i think he is talking generator power supply for the house or shop for emergency use.

C'mon Chuck, you know your sus chord from you diminished. I know you're hip to the ree-bop. (I know you savvy)
Update
He finds out the difference between a backup generator and a portable generator. ( not tellin')
Talking with my retired electrician friend. I asked where's the old guy with the long white beard that knows everything about generators? He tells me they all died. So, as my old job was designing electronic stuff, I took it upon myself to educate myself. (edify?) 15000 watt portable generator. Runs but not producing power continuously. Isolated the problem to the voltage regulator. (There's typically no return on electronic items) 50 bucks for a regulator. 50 dollar gamble. ( Half a tank of gas) installed new part. Adjusted the output voltage. So far, it's working fine. Knock wood! Now, I gotta grow a beard.
Make sure you have a clue about the grounding. Bonded ground vs. non-bonded ground. If you don't, you won't live to grow a beard.
Each portable generator is different and should state it somewhere.

I truly appreciate your concern for my safety. But where were you when I was setting the no-load voltage and frequency?
Elsewhere obviously.
