Everyone, Thank you for the input everyone. I decided to not go get it, even though it was a REALLY good deal. I don't want to take the chance with 208v. It would probably be okay, but at times I run for a day or so on generator power to put a good load on and keep load off the grid on peak...

I understand all about the neutral bonding and how it needs to only be in one place. I'd be hooking up through my two houses main panels, so the neutral bond and grounding will be taken care of already at the panel. Side note; on my MEP-802A, I put a protected switch to quickly make the bond on...

I would, but I have no data on my well motor. I have the original make/model, but the company was purchased 5 times and the data has since been lost. I do water/wastewater and usually can track that stuff down. Company that took over ultimately only kept old data for 5 years. So I don't know for...

I just went and looked up some transformers. It isn't as bad as I expected for a 50 amp rated one. I'd need to do two of them as I'd split the load across all three legs. Here is a 50 amp...

This was the simple explanation I needed. I learned something important today, thank you! This makes TOTAL sense to me now. Never fully understood by 240v had 2 wires in some cases but not in others. A transformer would be nice but I'm on a budget.

I didn't mention ground for simplicity but of course, yes, grounding wires are a MUST. I do sound a but dumb with these question but I promise I'm not that dumb, haha. So, I would NOT use it in 240/416 mode, I would use it in 120/208v mode? But then I may have the issue of running 208v to...

Everyone, I thought I had it figured out, but I am second guessing myself and I am supposed to go pick the generator up tomorrow. My goal is to use this for backup power at the two houses on my property. They are on separate panels of 240v but on the same meter. I understand that the...
