Ours run 5-8hrs/ day often 7 days a week. 10k hrs isn't unusual.. They fail enough that we back up the electronics with UPS, and we never run on shore power. YMMVZ71 4x4 wrote:wa8yxm wrote:

Modern generators have built in safety protection.
Surge suppressor first, then ATS.
But anything made by man can fail. I vote for after the transfer switch. I'd rather risk the transfer switch to bad power from shore and generator than risk everything else in the MH to bad power from the generator.
