Hi,
Could I ask for some pointers and recommendations for a tone generator/tracing tool please?
Having browsed various sites including Amazon, CEF and RS the range of options is vast from £20 up to many hundreds. Are the cheap ones junk? What do the more expensive tools provide? I don't have a...

On a 20kw generator can you connect the 30AMP plug to one service panel and the 50amp plug on a seperate service panel? I have two service panels coming off the same meter. I currently have a 5500KW 30Amp generator connection to one panel that supports my well pump and Hot Water heater. I...

We’ve recently completed the first and second fix of a barn conversion that is off grid with solar PV, batteries and a back up generator.
This was always the case that it was going to be off grid however as we have little experience in working with any off grid systems we specifically said at...
Afternoon! Hoping someone has experience working on the ABB gear below.
It’s in a Mobile Office/ Welfare unit, supplied via either 230v hook up or Generator with a Change over relay.
The issue is the 230 supply isn’t being able to be utilised - only the generator. Then occasionally the 230...
I am interested in having a home generator that would provide power to my home when the power is out during hurricane season, etc.
I have 2 electrical panels in my garage that are 200 amps each. I purchased a 13,000/10,000 watt predator generator. I would like to use an interlock rather than a...

Backup generator which can take about 106 amps split between 2 phases - 1 phase will be wired through the 2 pole ats which has been pre installed with the earths linking through to the pme system ( think for a 32a backup generator ) and then the other...
My house had previously been wired for a generator (probably not by code to this day) but previous homeowner disconnected and instead hooked up car charger to that circuit. I would like to place it back to a generator hook up plug for emergency power. I have included labeled pictures of outside...
I’m planning to run an electrical sub-panel to my detached garage (about 150’ away) and run it off my 200 amp home panel. I live out in the country in West Virginia and also want to be able to run my emergency generator in the garage when needed to send power back to the house. What size/type...
I'm an electrical engineer in training so please bear with me.
Basically, a bank has ordered a second 500kw diesel generator and my job is to design the infrastructure to allow them to run simultaneously. It has been suggested that a "Paralleling switchgear" be used that could potentially...
Hello, my Cat Olympian G35F natural gas generator was beeping, low on coolant. I topped off and reset log events. Screen panel went blank and I have pressed all buttons. Battery reads good. Any idea what can be going on? Thank you for any help! John
As a young man, I was an electrician, but now I'm getting on, I am strictly DIY.
I used to have a cheap old 900W petrol generator connected to a dedicated twin socket which I used to run my gas central heating boiler (plus essential TV) in the event of a power failure. It worked fine, but...
Here is my set up. I have 100 amp service coming into my house into the panel box. I have a 50 amp subpanel in my garage fed from the main service. My 30 amp RV plug is runoff of the sub panel.
1) I turned off the main breaker from the street, and set all of the breakers to off on both panels...
I have a stand alone generator on site in a factory which will supply a machine rated at 900Amps. Do I need to common up N or E to the Main DB? I have an inspector coming out this week but thought I might throw this one out there?
Before I pay an electrician to come check my work, I thought it worth a post here.
I don't want to pay the cost of a small car for a whole-house generators I hope never to use, and then have to maintain it. A small inverter generator is enough to get by one, I just need it handy and ready. And...
Good day all,
I'm writing from the Commonwealth of Dominica (NOT Dominican Republic) where we have single phase 230V, 50Hz.
I'm managing a property where the owner purchased a generator from the US and asked for it to be wired accordingly along with a Auto Transfer Switch. I've attached some...
