Guy, I would have gathered all 3/8 extensions, as many as I could find, insulated and non-insulated and would have shuffled them up his catookus…….

Guy, glad you recovered from this - no Glases and you would be typing in Braille. In my case, the person working was fully in charge of the situation and he had the correct tools with him. He had left them in his service vehicle, to lazy to go back out and get the correct toolbox which he needed...

@Islandfarmer I hope your meat and antivenin didn’t defrost to much. In these situations it is always better to have one or two extra sets of gensets around if the wallet permits it. We wish you and everybody else a speedy recovery. Peter

Guy, I understand. They lineman is “lucky” that he survived this even thou he lost both of his forearms……. I had a guy years ago working at a telephone switch center in Stuttgart owned by the Deutsche Bundespost and he used an non insulated pair of side cutters which he placed on top of the two...

Glad you replaced this honky donk Genset btw, the meter should always be pulled if no transfer panel with interlock is installed no matter what generator is hooked up to it. Most people forget that the utility transformer works in both directions. If you feed accidentally 240VAC back into the...

@Islandfarmer Did we now answer your question or is there anything else you would like to know about the bonding strap? I figured we get your power going first and then answer this question.

@Islandfarmer when ever utility power is restored, when ever that maybe proceed as follows: 1. remove generator with all wires 2. reconnect neutral in disconnect box 3. remove protective cover from meter box 4. set disconnect breaker to off! 5. insert utility meter 6. call utility company...

The meter is pulled - end of the story - pine island is a disaster Zone with curfew

I guess that’s it - put something over the meter box in the case it rains - See that you get that Genset of the pallets - Haven’t been to pine island since 1998 Good luck - be careful Peter

Guy, this house installation is so old it has only the P + N outlets with no earth ground……. there is no bonding anywhere at this point except at the generator for the first time since Edison lived there in Fort Myers…, Great, this bonds the generator neutral to its chassis and your ground rod...

Great, this bonds the generator neutral to its chassis and your ground rod. This is your current main bond and the only bond since you have no ground wires inside your breaker panel Your Generator is going to fall off the pallets!! Move the Generator to the Ground where it can sink in if the...

Seriously, for how many hours do think this generator will stay on these pallets before it has vibrated itself off???

we will / see my last post with questions

More questions: 1. The incoming Neutral cannot be left connected because they run straight out to pole 2. can you pull meter? 3. Can this box be locked with a pad lock? 4. what happened to your incoming utility power pole / transformer? 5. Does your house have a green wire on each outlet...

The disconnect is after the utility meter?

Was any of your electrical wiring on wherever you are connecting to submerged in water / saltwater / brack water? We need to see / know these things as well - this is a dremendous liability to advice someone in such a situation as this can potentially kill someone and or cause a fire

How are you feeding in to your House? did you fully disconnect from the utility grid?
