Having "acquired a self start 20KVA 3 phase generator I was having thoughts of running the bungalow mains off one phase in case of power outage (commoner than I expected here in the sticks, we lost some rare eggs that were hatching TWICE this year,,,). Does anyone have links to how an auto start and switching arrangement could be contructed? I assume I can isolate the boards electric input on "our" side of the boards fuse and meter, and have a switching arrangement to bring on the gennie. Needs careful failsafe handling, any ideas? Thanks
