Generator Power Shedding?

[Twayne]

Prove it. Then show how simple, IF you manage to prove it, that it can be overcome. You know not of which you speak. This has turned into a troll fest.

[Twayne]

Why? For what valid reason?

Twane, you're getting the posters mixed up.

Baloney. Get a list of the various loads, the wattage draw of each and starting surge where applicable, and then you try to work out your logic chart for this application to determine which loads can be allowed to come online in what combinations without overloading the generator.

Be sure to account for devices that present more than one level of load such as a refrigerator (cool vs. defrost) and devices that could be damaged by repeatedly cutting their operation short, such as those with cool down cycles. Be sure your current monitoring reacts fast enough to drop excess loads when a new load comes online with it's peak starting current, before you stall a regular generator, or put an inverter generator into overload protect shutdown.

Welll, I'll tell ya what; I didn't say the less than educated would understand it. You would need a decent background to fully understand it, even though the implementation is rather straight forward and do-able by most anyone who can minimally read a schematic.

If I didn't have experience in the area, I would not have offered this up. This however is likely my last response to the likes of trolls like you; you're not worth the effort, time or ether. You obviously have no grasp of the actual requiremnts so should shut up or offer instances where you can be showh where you're wrong or right. Then at least you would learn something. Ignorance truly can be bliss.

[Pete C.]

Yes, your ignorance sure must be blissful. The two of you trolls have yet to give a single bit of factual data, nor have you addressed any of the detailed issues I've mentioned. You should stick to wiring holiday lights.

[The Daring Dufas]

Which two trolls are you referring to? I would be glad to describe the simple way I'd setup an automatic switch that the OP asked about. Just ask, politely and without derision.
