    driveshaft removal

    Generator power up procedure

    The main switch is in fact The main breaker rated at the panel ampacity. I agree that although possible the beaker could fail and not open it must be constructed pretty fail safe or death could occur. Again a transfer switch costs up to $400.00 VS. $60.00 for an interlock.

    Generator power up procedure

    I was reading the instruction label on a 8K Chinese generator. It had numerous beakers. The instructions said to individually turn the breakers on one at a time starting with the highest load. I understand the logic behind this. If the power has been off for a while things like the...

It took over 3/4 tank of fuel and 4 days on and off, mostly on testing. Not being able to get the master switch removed from the panel to get to the lugs to test...
