Active load management, use it to inhibit large loads pool ac water heater etc. Another possibility is to set a sub panel for critical loads. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

It needs to be large enough for the highest load applied. If your service is 200 amp then it needs to be atleast a 200 amp ats Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Voltage drop doesnt really matter because the generator can be boosted Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I used a 200 amp generac ats Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Aluminum wire is absolutely trash. If you dont know what your doing it will fail. If your house ground is setup to code dont screw with it. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

The breaker on the generator protects the head and the wire going to the load (assuming the wire is large enough) I have not had the opportunity to play with an 803 as of yet, size the wire for the rated output (if its 55 amp 6AWG will be sufficient) there is no real down side to going larger on...

Capacitor bank Or has anyone seen a spring starter? (Some of the wild things found on youtube at 3am) Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Never tried it. 1500 watts at 28 volt is 53 amps. 24 volt batteries, so the higher voltage helps. My gut says it wouldnt (amperage available is in the neighborhood of 500 amps). Maybe someone can prove me wrong. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Theres the factor of whats available. The first one I bought was a 004, which I use for home backup. Its on the large size for my needs, but every time I run it for a significant power outage (or several small outages) I hook up my load bank and burn the wetstacking out.

Me personally i stick with 6 gallon cans (easier to go get fuel) but if you need a larger tank, Northern tool, Tractor supply, and blanes are places I would look.

You get a spark sometimes. Last connection to be made will do that. Reason you always connect the negative last (or remove first) is because its the same potential as the chassis, no melted wrench if you slip. Positive on the other hand will melt your wrench Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

The whole point to bonding neutral to ground is to ensure they are at the same potential. Switched neutral transfer switching is very rare (the only place ive seen it done is data centers and cell towers). Both methods are acceptable, but dont cross them. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Because the neutral ground bond for the service is disconnected when the transfer switch is connected to generator. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Runs great Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

My favorite form of adjustments involves a big hammer Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

If it comes to it, We successfully replaced the regulator/exciter assembly on a 005.

There is a mechanical limit to it (the stops) depending on the rheostat used they can jump and arc if turned too far Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Also in fl. I have my 004 piped out of a shed 90 degrees up with a rain cap. I cut a hole in the wall and ducted the radiator out the wall. I also did some wiring to have it autostart on power failure Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Its because they are not ment to be used to power a house. The neutral is bonded to the chassis to provide a ground reference. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
