I have a three phase genset, lister sr3 engine and three phase 15kw

the output anywhere. I hooked the two power wires to my house and have
had no problems. I was just told a few days ago that running a single
phase 220 well pump on what I have will fry the motor. Do I have
anything to worry about? Should I hook up three phase breaker box? Any
recommendations?
Thanks.

how many volts is the generator putting out?

120 volts on each leg to common, 240 leg to leg, which has me
wondering,, shouldn't it be 208?

240, 120 to common is standard single phase voltage and should not
cause a problem. That's the voltage that comes into your house. Some
people mistakenly think it is 220 volts, which it is not.

You should have no problems with this configuration.
