PowerOnUtah.com the generator transfer switch demonstration. WOW!!!

[deastyles]

Did your Utility company install the exteral transfer switch? If yes, what was the cost?

[DrLeroyGreen]

2:25 "Emergacy"?

Don't electrocute yourselves.

[nocoloATV]

would recommend an inverter series generator such as the honda 6500i designed for sensitive electronics, I would not run my PCs and plasma TV off an industrial $600 generator, I have had one of those and the power is not clean; and your 4000 watt is underpowered to run fridge, stove, furnace etc... You will not be able to run AC in the summer no matter what, but no big deal. If the fridge was to kick on with the furnace and microwave, all the startup load would blow your generator breaker.

[6SpeedVert]

I'm impressed that a 4400 watt generator did as well as it did, nice!!

You guys should take a trip to Jersey, after the hurricane you guys would have work for months.I'mIm getting a generator soon enough.

[pyro74boy]

Trying to run your microwave oven without anything in it is stupid unless you are tryimg to break it. LOL!!!

Also how wonderful are you going to think your portable generator is when you run out of fuel?. LOL

[ourkids12341]

is it ok for tv. pc laptop.????

God electric starts seam useless to me. Unless its going to be 100% automated or for a 80 year old man I dont see whats so bad about just pulling a cord.? Just another battery to maintain and another starter motor to wear out.

[REWYRED]

Did he say it will handle "anything you can throw at it"??? Ok then.. Lets try the hot tub with the 5kw electric heater or the 15 kw electric furnace hiding in the basement.... ya thats what I thought!

My 4500W will do a central A/C 2 fridges a freezer and a few lights, THATS IT but NOT started all at once, and I had to do a LOT of pissing around balancing all the smaller stuff out. Put a " kick start" in the a/c too, that eliminated the A/C from bogging the generator.

[invista360]

Electrician here.

You shouldn't bring the house up under full load on the generator. That will throw an arc on the blades of the transfer switch and damage your generator. Never do this. Turn off all individual branch circuits and bring them up one at time after the main is turned on. The cord should have been connected to the generator before starting it.

Unless that generator is an inverter generator it will ruin home electronics as they produce dirty power.

[kimmer6]

Good God what a loud generator. Numb nuts up the street had one even louder. It threw a rod 3 hours into the outage. I manually transfer off the grid, open all 240volt circuits, then switch in a 6000 and a 4000 watt inverter to feed the 120 volt legs in the house. The lights stay on, the fridges freezer, and forced air furnace work. 17,000 amp hours of AGM batteries keep me humming for a few days. A small quiet Kubota diesel does bulk charging, solar panels do float charging. I like stealth...

[jamesberkhimer]

word of advice spit out the gum before you shoot hearing you chew is annoying

[kengine7]

Installation looks solid, but you seem to be promoting that generator as if it were high quality. Parts availability determined by government controlled Chinese manufacturer.

Units like that are inexpensive to buy but very costly to own.

[MrMADMOFO]

No way 44oo watt going to power whole house you need at least 10000

[chevyloverguy1]

You should have connected small portions of load at a time you could burn out the regulator doing it like that

"emergency"

[MrSparks134]

How is the HO gonna know to turn off the POCO when there is a power outage. HO is gonna flip that emergency switch and backfeed to POCO.

[Dayo1111]

A little skeptical here. The generator will only run as much as it will put out. No evidence the stove/oven was "running", nor the fridge or freezer. You have to tally what you use. Elec. stove 2000W Gas furnace 750W Elec Water heater 3800W - These 3 things would pop that generator in an instant. What should tip any one off is " E m e r g a c y " in red felt tip pen on the standard manual transfer switch. Do a calculation before you "thimk" it will run your whole house.

[dusheadesign]

We have installed over 300 units in the past 6 months, The system in used for emergency situations, So you will only be running the items you NEED, We have had ZERO complaints and would like to thank our customers for their support.

Thank You

Power On Utah

[reefseeker]

@Dayo1111 .. you made me LMAO .. better yet, 300 in 6 months.. 2 a day, should have took picture of at least 30 of these piled up. 

[reefseeker]

@Dayo1111 no wait, he can't remove this video because he blew up his computer.. LOL

[BigYellow9999]

I agree with you. A generator isn't magic. It will put out as much power as it's rated to put out and nothing more. While you can survive with 4400 watts, you won't be running your whole house. In my case:

600 watt freezer

600 watt refrigerator

1700 watt microwave

1000 watt well pump (we have well water)

840 watt boiler

300 watt 51" T.V. (sucker's really efficient)

400 watts worth of light throughout the house

=5440 watts

The 4400E is 4400 SURGE watts (3500 continuous) and is only 20 amps.

[BigYellow9999]

Forget running an electric cooktop with a portable generator. Either use gas or if you're like me and have an electric cooktop, use an induction hotplate if you lose power. Our electric double oven is 40 amps. Clearly not going to run on this guy. I have a 6800 watt ridgid and even that can't run my oven. Good thing my microwave has an oven feature on it.

You can probably run your well pump, fridge, freezer, boiler with this generator and maybe 500 watts worth of lights. That's it!

[BigYellow9999]

Dayo, this isn't for you. Responding to the author of this video.

One more thing, no one should flip all of the loads onto the generator at one time. Most items have a surge load. You see how the generator struggled big time? Even with a large generator, you should flip one circuit at a time to the generator. And again, 3500 continues watts isn't going to power much. It will not run the average household.

[dusheadesign]

Extra Extra long lasting flavor.

[flyboym535i]

Nice job. I enjoyed listening to you chomping on your gum too. :)

[GoMetricToday]

Very nice. Now I will feel confident that my 6500 Watt generator will work just fine in my house.
