      From: x@y.Invalid              Per mike:       >If you have a 120VAC generator, the switch will have to combine       >circuits from two phases onto a single phase generator.       >That might make for some interesting transients when the power       >comes back on.              Waited for my better half to go shopping today and fooled around       with the gennie/xfer switch for a few hours.              It seems to tolerate cutting/resuming utility power with no       problems that I can see. Delicate stuff like the TV, LAN       server, computer are on UPS', so maybe that helps.              Once I figure out how to have come control over which circuits       get shed in what order when there's too much for the gennie, I       think I'll be a happy camper with this thing - albeit critical of       the manuals.... but then I'm one of those compulsive fault       finders and I can write a single-spaced 8x10 page of negative       rants on almost any product I buy.... -)       --       Pete Cresswell              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
