good advice Gene...rather echoes some of what my electrician told me when he installed my little box....
re: "The Onan is only 120V output and most cutover switches for your house are designed for 240V input. Perhaps that's your issue in trying to use the Onan to power the hous"
the entire house except for the well & electric cook stove, runs off my 2K Honda generator, if I manage the demand properly. 2 freezers & a big refer that are all fine, unless a couple try to kick on at the same time.
Our power draw is typically so low that we can run a microwave with the 2k Honda. I'm impressed.
So I'm off to the electrician this coming week to see how else he can help the ARVY connection.
