12-lead generator wiring question

Apr 17, 2004 0 Replies

Given a genset that has a 12-lead alternator, which I assume to be



6 separate windings, 2 on each phase (three phase generator), would it be possible to wire it so that each of the three phases comes out as a separate 240/120 volt circuit, with one common neutral, for a total of 7 wires feeding 3 separate breaker panels?
