Bought this generator recently and looking to use it to provide standby power during power outages. Our last outage was going on nine days.
Anyway, my plan is to install a 30amp inlet box to the outside of my house and run wiring to my circuit board where I will backfeed the board using an interlock device.
My question relates to the generator itself. As I read the manual, I came across the following paragraph:
"120V/240V Position" "When the voltage selector switch is in the 120V/240V position, you must balance the load. Divide the load between the two sets of receptacles shown below. Balancing is necessary because each set of receptacles is powered by only one power producing circuit that can produce a maximum of 22.9 amps"
The way I read this, you have to use more than one outlet on the generator to balance the load. I had planned to use only one outlet, the one with 4 prong connector.
I'm confused. Anyone using this unit as a standby for their home?
