[SEL] Generator hookup

[Curt]

Rick,
You can invert it to usable AC. See if you can pick up an old used 5HP 
inverter. That size will be in the ballpark for the kva/kw of the 
generator you have. You'll have to by pass the 6 diodes that convert the 
three phase power input to DC. Just bring your DC power into the other 
the side of the rectifier. Since you will have no reference 60Hz input 
power for the unit to base its max freq off of you may have to build a 
small 60 hz power supply just to keep the electronics straight. But that 
is pretty simple stuff. Find a ham buddy and let him help you with that 
part.
