Put in a plug to whole house. Runs everything except micro, ac and the coffee makers! I can run a cord to my neighbor so she has some juice as well... has a detachable power / status head that I put by the door so I can check status, % power used etc. without going outside... Glad all good on your side of the pond...! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a shore plug on the side of my house to plug in my 8000w Baldor gen. Shut the main breaker off & turn the 50amp breaker for the gen on. Will run all but the AC units. System is not what you would call "Up to code" but no power is back fed to the grid so line men are safe to work. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

System is not what you would call "Up to code" but no power is back fed to the grid so line men are safe to work. Same basic set up as mine. I’m not an electric guy, so I did have mine installed with a permit by an electrician and inspected... I’m not fond of sparks...! And, like you, I want to make sure I don’t give the line guys a “kiss” when they are fixing the problem!!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sorry, the Haiku Police have been busy with storm related issues... and sadly, with the current funding situation nationwide there may be long interludes between grievous Haiku syllablistic crimes and appropriate follow up and investigation by the Haiku Police if at all... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
