hi,
storm comming!!!! this friday.
i have a honda 11hp 6850 max 5500 norm gen.
what do you think of this set up
-put in a 220v 30 amp breaker in home panel & wire it to another 30 amp
disconnect thats tied to a female recepticle for the generator plug.
--if power fails pull the main & turn off all breakers
--close the 30amp breaker on the main panel & close the disconnect.
--fire up the generator & plug it in.slowly turning on only essential
breakers.(conservatively not to exceed gen. rating)
**** how does this affect the load on the left & right poles of the
generator if theyre not balanced?
In otherwords I have 2 lives 1 neutral & a ground tied & isolated to my gen.
if the left side of my panel (120v) draws more than the right will that
affect the gen.? or as in theory it all comes back to source and
balances.....I think.
Feedback appreciated
but not backfeed(haha)
