And Generac posts that their switch would only work with Generac Gen-sets?

I am looking for a transfer switch for my parents house. 200amp main panel feeding 2 sub panels. I bought them an 803a Option 1 is SE manual transfer switch...but then my parents would have to walk to the 3 panels, turn off breakers before transferring power. Option 2 is an ATS with load...

I lucked out out last week on FleaBay

I was able to buy one last week for $15 (NOS). I hope it works, but he seller would refund if it doesn't. If it doesn't work I'll buy the Stewart Warner "Heavy Duty Plus". Looks identical except the gas picture is green. You will have to buy their 24 to 12 volt converter that goes on the back

I paid $293 shipping an 803a from Lockborne, Ohio to Miami, FL using Uship and shipping via UPS.

I freight forward. Selling light towers every day to send down

I you read the TM it gives you test procedures. Faria Beede also has testing procedures on their website.

Time to sell your 803 in GA and pick up another in Utah for less

Is there a way to manually transfer? In case the relay malfuctions?

Last week I was dealing with the same exact problem on mine. And then it wouldn't restart when warm. I literally let let it run for a couple hours and it fixed itself. I was told on here it was probably air in the lines and filters. I found it strange it was only an issue when engine...

Irma knocked out my power for 9 days. Only had a 7.5kw big box store special to run the house. FEMA gave it to us after Huricane Wilma many years ago. I was using 10gal of gas every day to run 2 refridgerators, tv and ceiling fans. And some lights at night. Voltage on the 7.5 was all...

I can buy oven elements for $12 3kw each. I figured I could step up the load slowly. But might throw a dryer element

Anyone make a load bank using oven heating elements? Trying to figure out what I can mount them with so they stand straight up saving space. Maybe be sacrificing a box fan for the metal frame...?

But it is connected at the same time. Most transfer switches are only 2 poles (only switching over the 2 hot legs). The Neutral is still connected to the utility. Even if you have a 3 pole transfer switch, your breaker panel has a bonded ground to a rod at your house. So so even if you...

I 100% understand grounding. My question has to do with this particular setup. If the generator is grounded via the house ground wire, the current has over 150-200feet to travel before it grounds out at the service entrance. That all equates to resistance. Or the stray current can travel...

There isn't much, if any paint in the bottom of the skids (as it gets scraped away every time the gen is moved). And while silica isn't conductive, wet organic soil is (as we have in South Florida). In some places down here, you'll hit the water table with a ground rod after a couple feet...

Question. Wouldn't having the skids on the ground be grounding the gen. That's 11 feet of 2" skids...throw in a rain storm...

I stand corrected. Thank you

If you do that, then the generators housing is no longer grounded and a rod should be used to ground the housing.

Hope everything went well
