First, the transfer switch you select should match the maximum continuous wattage rating of your generator. For example, if you have a 5000-watt generator, you should select a transfer switch rated at 5000 watts, such as Model 200660. You may also select a transfer switch that has a higher rating than your generator. (Ex: a 5000-watt generator with a 7500-watt transfer switch is OK.) But NEVER install a transfer switch with a lower rating than your generator.

A transfer switch is an electrical device installed next to your load center that transfers power from your generator to your home and is the key to safe and convenient operation of generators for backup power. Required by the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), a transfer switch isolates those circuits using generator power during an outage, and eliminates the risk of back feeding the electrical utility which can cause injury or death to utility workers and property damage.

Besides homeowners, mold remediation specialists buy our machines all the time. So do crime cleanup companies, fire, flood, & smoke cleanup companies as well as auto detailers, beauty salons, as well as restaurants and bars for cigarette smoke removal.

Certain Honda Industrial/Commercial generators have the neutral bonded to ground to pass OSHA inspection on job sites. Since home or building main breaker boxes also have neutral bonded to ground, two parallel paths back to the generator are created, one using the neutral wire and one using the ground wire. The neutral current now flows through both conductors.

You must first determine your power requirements. Click here for Honda's wattage calculator to better determine your power requirements. Our most popular generator is the Honda EU2000. It puts out 2,000 watts and is powerful enough to power a refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer and a few other household items such a lights and small appliances. Perfect for emergency backup during a power outage.

NO. While it might be possible to connect a larger generator to the transfer switch, this is an unsafe and dangerous practice. Supplying more than the rated wattage through the transfer switch could damage the wattmeters, damage the neutral wire, and could overheat the main wiring in the transfer switch, which could cause a fire.

When your utility power is restored, lights and appliances in your home not connected to generator power will turn on; alerting you that utility power has been restored. Because Gen/Tran PowerStay™ Transfer Switches have interlocking main breakers, the utility power and generator power are never powering those circuits using generator power at the same time. There is no danger of back feeding the utility power. No.

This is acceptable for peak wattage but not recommended for running wattage. Pulling more than the rated wattage through the Reliance Pro/Tran® transfer switch could burn out the neutral wire, overheat the main wiring in the transfer switch and cause a fire. To insure proper safety precautions, a suitable double pole breaker should be installed between the generator and the transfer switch when the running wattage of the generator exceeds the rating of the transfer switch.

NOTE: AFFECTED MODELS ONLY INCLUDE: HONDA Models EB3500XK1, EB5000XK1, EB6500SX, EB12DAG, Arctic Cat Model 1999 AC7500GD2EB and some models from Briggs and Stratton. The Honda EB (Industrial/Commercial) series generators listed above have their neutral wire bonded to the ground wire to pass OSHA inspection on job sites. Since home and building main load centers also have the neutral bonded to ground, a loop is created, comprised of the neutral wire and the ground wire.

We have developed a calculator tool that will let you answer a few easy questions and the program will find the correct size steam generator, along with pricing information.

Answer. As far as sizing a generator for your concession trailer, please call and talk to one of our representatives and we can pilot you through this. In general, generators are sized by the number of Watts of electricity they produce, both on a continuous and on a maximum basis. In turn, electrical appliances are rated by the number of Watts they consume while running.

The first step is to determine how much lumber you’ll dry in a year. Then figure your average drying time for each of the species you’ll be drying, and you can calculate the size kiln you need from there. For example: you need to dry 500,000 board feet of oak per year. Fresh off the saw, oak takes about 28-30 days to dry, so you’ll be able to do 12 loads in a year. Each load will need to be 42,000 board feet to give you the 500,000 board feet you need for the year.

A transfer switch is a panel that is wired into the premises electrical distribution system to allow a generator to be used. It prevents the generator from back feeding into the mains power supply which could cause serious injury to line workers trying to restore utility power supplies.

The installation requirements are relatively simple with connections similar to that of a Hot Water Heater with 240 Volt Electricity and a cold (or hot) Water Supply to the unit. A Steam line to the bathing area and a Glass Steam enclosure is all that is necessary to complete the installation.
