Keystone State Thread

Any time

 

Yes it would.

 

Have the same set up. You cannot power the main box from the generator, without throwing a physical lockout bar that blocks the mains from being turned on. Works every time.

 

Smoker?

 

That's how I'm going to do mine. My electrical service runs into a disconnect before my panel so it shouldn't be too bad to take care of. I was planning on putting in a sub panel with utilities in it to wire in the transfer switch to, but since I can disable mains and work on the incoming of my 200a panel it's going to be much easier.

 

Smoke eater. It cleans the air for cigar smoke

 

Morning all. Have a good time and a safe trip @Taco critter .

 

We live .5 miles from a hospital. We rarely ever lose power and when we do it’s 20-30 minutes or less. Neighbors another mile away aren’t so lucky.

 

We lose power when a fly farts. Surprisingly, we didn’t lose it in the last storm. I check my Genny, and run it once a month.

 

Just throwing that out there for safety. Some people do think they are electricians. Just ask @Redmann.

 

PP&L gets really touchy about backup generators. They had a bunch of people killed during, I think, the blizzard of 93 from people backfeeding the lines with their generators.

I still don't trust the auto-relays. Physical disconnect or bust.

 

That's the way to do it imo.

Working on anything electrical is way easier when everything in the panel is dead. Doesn't cost much in the grand scheme of things either.

 

I'd just take my 1000v gloves home if I was going to do it live.

 

Gotcha.

 

Most people are shocked when they learn I'm not a very good electrician. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯







Just kidding. I'm fairly decent.

 

I would think you’d be shocked that you’re not a good electrician

 

Introducing project “Big Ass Hitch Carrier”








To haul this

 

Is that gonna be for all the stuff your flatbed can’t carry?

 

It’s to carry my mower.

Because this sucked
