SpartanIvy posted:Hell yeah. Which generator did you go with? noisiest one possible lol the duromax xp13000hxt wanted to see if I could swing a closed frame inverter, but I’ve already got a shed in my backyard I’ve been wanting to run power to and I couldn’t stomach dropping like 4x the price for less capacity. gotta be able to run my AC here in the south. maybe in a few years when their prices come down

wired the 50 amp inlet (in the dark lol) for my generator so that my wife doesn’t have to run extension cords this weekend while it’s 2° and the power inevitably goes out lol ran my 3ton AC just fine while the water heater was going and then the furnace (ng) after shut the AC down gently caress generac, all my homies hate generac

frogbs posted:I was recently without power for 4 days and never want to go through that again. I'm researching options to at least run our gas furnace off of our small portable generator (basically a Honda 2200i clone). I'm assuming that if my furnace is on a 20 amp breaker that i'll also need a 20 amp transfer switch? just get an extension cord for the furnace to run to the gen. you can probably fit it under the weatherstripping for the door. I ran mine through my cat door as a test before I wired my interlock and inlet since I wasn’t sure if my ng meter would feed both my 13000w gen and my furnace make sure it’s a 20amp cord and you can save yourself both $120 for the switch and $$$ for having an electrician install it

frogbs posted:Thank you for the info! I think at this point my choice is either: I vote bigger generator and bigger inlet. champion makes a trifuel inverter that isn’t much more than that westinghouse for $1200 and probably has a dual fuel for even less. or you could get a dual fuel predator from harbor freight and have a better warranty than both. running an inlet and an interlock is what I’d prefer over a transfer switch imo

frogbs posted:In a hilarious stroke of luck my power just went out AGAIN. Really wish I had listened to my father and ordered the single port and just installed it when I had the chance a few days ago. It’s pretty icy and windy, I think a transformer blew this time. like the previous poster I prefer to be able to pick and choose what breakers I have on (all of them since I have a 13000w and 50amp inlet lol) rather than having to wire a transfer switch. wiring a single 50amp breaker and drilling some holes in my panel cover for the interlock was maybe 30’ worth of work and pretty hard to gently caress up gen interlock will sell you the interlock you need. they’ll even ID you the correct one from photos if you can’t figure it out. I got mine from there and it fits my panel perfectly

corgski posted:No, AFCI/CAFCI breakers do not include any GFCI protection whatsoever. AFCIs only trip on parallel arcs (intermittent shorts to netural/ground with arcing,) CAFCIs trip on parallel and series arcs (loose connections inline in a circuit.) Any modern "AFCI" breaker on the market is going to be a CAFCI. I’m just going to use regular breakers lol
