If you want an "off the shelf" method for this, check out the Magnecraft Voltage Measuring Relay 831VS-120A
Looks nice. Any idea what the cost is? There are a couple of distributors in the Richmond area, guess I could call to find out if it is stocked and how much.
BTW, the "old technology" method I mentioned is basically free if you have a good electronic scrap box (which I do) and like putting things together with a little wire and solder.
The best price I have found so far is $44, from b&b electronics (www.bb-elec.com).
Allied Electronics also carries them, for about $68. The 30A power relays are cheap, like $7.
I am looking at ways to test one before I buy one (we use similar devices at my work for testing).
I don't like the idea of just killing the generator, since it is stated in every instruction manual, do not shut off generator while loads are connected and running.
