Do you have a question about the 6500 DPG and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
@Mr. Anderson . my generator cord goes from my generator to a transfer box using the 240 volt outlet. one lead is connected to half of the breakers, the other lead takes care of the other half.( 10 total) only the breakers on one side works. the problem seems to be at the generator outlet. Any suggestions to correct ? Generator is at a cabin in a remote area. difficult to retreave.
If a NorthStar 6500 DPG generator outlet is not supplying power to one side of the transfer box, the troubleshooting steps are:
1. Disconnect the load to check for a defective connected device.
2. Check and replace the receptacle if it is defective.
3. Bring the generator to a qualified technician to inspect and repair:
- Broken or loose wire
- Defective stator
- Defective rotor
- Defective capacitor
Also, check if the circuit breaker has tripped and reset it if needed.

the 240 volt outlet only has one leg that gives power.
The 240 volt outlet on the NorthStar 6500 DPG only has one leg that provides power because it is likely configured to supply only 120 volts from one hot leg, rather than a full 240-volt split-phase. This setup may be due to internal wiring limitations or design intended for specific equipment.
