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...
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 am thinking of getting an Electric vehicle. The only way for it to be realistic is to home charge.
The problem, I have a fuse box no breakers. Do I have to upgrade my electrical box or can I add
a 240V outlet as is? This is a 2 family home, the girl upstairs has a 240V to run her stove (I...
The room where we’re going to install a Smart TV has an existing cable jack but on the wrong side of the room. I want to convert the cable jack to an ethernet connection to where I’d attached a Wi-Fi range extender. Does my scheme make any sense? Is it at all doable? Thanks in advance for your...
Im planning on setting up and interlock generator hookup up. My portable generator is 30 amps. I ran 25 ft of 10/2 wire from my panel to the outside. Lets just say this wire run was really difficult and its not easy to run a longer replacement wire. Anyways the 10/2 wire is about 10 feet to...
I think I posted in the wrong place before....
Alamogordo, NM off Indian Wells
We have some nice crafted gear to hook up and I think I can? But I can't read a schematic.
It needs the DC power source hooked up as well and it is assembly of finished parts - gotta put the amp & coupler in a box...
My house has a large main panel, which basically feeds several subpanels. I'd like to be able to hook a portable generator up to the main panel somehow, but given its configuration, it appears that an interlock won't work for that panel. And unfortunately, the circuits I want the generator to...
I managed to recently acquire a generator (used) and straight away me and my father started getting it hooked up to the house. We have it set up so it feeds into my main box and powers the whole home (winch intention to just limit power usage). It feeds through a 30a breaker with a 25’ 10ga cord...

It had the traditional at least 1 screw loose on Outgoing Neutral ferrule.
( finger tight )
Incoming cable is a bit frugal at 1.5mm sq( and GREEN ) .
Is anyone aware of other problem areas .

Hi, need some help. Have a static caravan that I want to connect up. Distance to mains is about 40m so will need a 600mm trench. Caravan is currently 16A but want add another box to make it 32A. Could you let me know what size 3 core cable I will need to lay in the trench?
Thanks
I was on small touring caravan site yesterday looking at a caravan electrics for a client.
I've not done any caravan site work but the onwner asked me to look at a few things whilst I was there.
The site has only one hookup point with four commando blue sockets on 16a RCBO's in a hookup box...
