I have a 3550w champion generator and I want to slow charge at 1.5kw has anyone done this?
LeftieBiker said:L-1 charging generally works fine. It's L-2 that requires modifications. Ground the generator to play it safe.
Need to know the model # to determine which resistors you are referringbinks said:So I just need to do the 2 100k resistors?

@50% capacity 1500 W from a 3550W sounds about right , lots of threads on grounding on this forum
Just make sure it is pure sine wave not modified

There is some risk if you connect resistors to both line and neutral. Did you connect both resistors in parallel between neutral (white or silver terminal) and ground (green terminal)? If so, then it is fine and the net resistance is 50k ohms. I recommend that no resistor be connected to the line terminal (yellow or brass terminal) because that could cause an unsafe condition if the neutral to ground resistor comes loose (due to vibration) or fails.binks said:I made a plug adapter and it worked
I used 2 100k resistors
