not sure if your back feeding the whole place or doing the extension cord gig.
any questions ping me, B.

A Ohio power line guy knocked on the door last night around 10:00 pm, asking where our wires were. (our wires are underground but the feeder lines are half a mile down the road...make that laying on the road at the moment). I gave him directions to the downed lines. I drove around later and saw him, and he said he is acting as a forward observer calling in the downed power line pole #s to the central dispatcher for repair orders.
The gas furnace keeps throwing fault codes due to the fluctuating generator voltage. So no heat downstairs at the moment....And snow predicted for Wednesday.

I have the junction box that isolates the 6 circuits for the 2 furnaces, well pump, and kitchen curcuit. It installed correctly. I have heard of a lot of uninformed people backfeeding their wall sockets, which is a nightmare waiting to happen. I think the 5000 watt Coleman generator is beginnng to fail....
