Is it possible that the genny is 240V 3ph, which would deliver 110V to each single phase socket, and 240V across phases?
That type are quite common in the marine industry

In the instructions (which are as useful as a chocolate fire grate) under specifications it says
ac frequency 50hz
ac output voltage 220/380 volts
rated output in kva 6
maximum output kva 6.5
So I recon the big red socket is putting out the 380v bit probably at maximum kva. Can I use this sockrt in anyway?I could try my multimeter on it. 3two pin plug (european style) and one big red plug have come with it.

As I will be up on a metal roof it could be really exciting if I make the whole roof panel live!
One of the lads once screwed through the roof just catching a live 240v cable. This made your hands kind of tingle when you then grabbed the roof sheet. 400v might make your balls explode!
I shall stick to using only one of the 240v sockets and only run two of the motors which normally shifts most of the dead leaves (pigeons) etc anyway.

TC not sure will check in the morning. What difference would it make between the two?

Are we thinking 1000x3 is marketing hype?
Ok it has 4 little pins and one fat pin in the red plug.
ste the 1000x3 might be marketing hype indeed. I know with all 3 motors going though you wouldn't want your plums near the hose end. its got some pull on it!
Gennie ran my compressor ok todayfor a while then clouds of white smoke came out of it. So switched it off. D, oh!
ran ok again 30 mins later but a little smokey. Hooking it up to the vac tomorrow.
