Yamaha 2400iSHC Generators - Power To Perform

Posted by admin

We listened to what our customers wanted when we built our latest inverter generator. The result is the EF2400iSHC. Not only is it super-quiet (53-58dBA), it only weighs 75 pounds and produces 2400 watts of maximum power. Cleaner, quieter and more powerful, the EF2400iSHC is the next step forward in generator technology.

Installing an Automatic Transfer Switch?

Posted by admin

I’d like to install a standby generator to power all of my home’s circuits. I have a 200A service. I am going to need to have the meter pulled, so I can pull the service conductors out of the main panel and into an automatic transfer switch. Is it okay to have the service conductors run through this transfer switch non-fused before entering the main panel, or do I have need to have a Service Disconnect breaker installed upstream of the transfer switch. I.e., replacing the entire meter enclosure with one that is equipped with a 200A service breaker, or alternatively, finding a standalone Service Disconnect breaker in an enclosure mounted alongside the transfer switch, with the service conductors routed through that prior to entering the transfer switch? I was just worried because, if the service conductors traveled through the transfer switch upstream of the Main Breaker, if there was a fault in the transfer switch, the only current limiting device would be from the utility pole, which is likely thousands of Amperes. Seems crazy to me, but I don’t know what’s considered the norm for this kind of installation. Thanks

NEC article 230 covers this. The transfer switch has to be in between a service rated disconnect and the main distribution panel (whatever that may be). Man, you must have one helluva generator. Is it multiphasic as well? Heh, 200A 240V loads running off an automatic remote start generator…when Armageddon hits, I’m coming to live with you. 48,000 watts of potential load…dude, this is a Tim Allen "arr arr arr arrrrrgh" moment for me.

I really gotta say, I’ve never seen a set up like this. I just don’t see many ultra-high end installs. Do you have any money left? Need a decent HVAC guy on staff?

Ameren Illinois - Standby Generator Safety

Posted by admin

Proper installation of a generator is critical. Improper use can not only damage your equipment or electrical system, but also potentially result in injury or death to those who use them and to utility workers.

Do not directly connect a portable generator with your electrical system. A direct connection could result in voltage on utility lines and presents a significant safety concern for utility workers and generator owners. Contact a qualified professional for connections of this type.

Never use a portable generator indoors, including in your home, garage, basement, shed or partially-enclosed area—even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide exhaust from building up in the home. Place a portable generator outdoors in a dry area far away from doors, windows and vents.
