i'm pretty sure you need an interlock in the panel to meet code, shocked the electrician didn't install one

There is one now. He came back to finish the job after I made the video. You are correct though...

Get yourself interlock kit for your main service panel for safety purposes

It's there. I just made the video before the electrician was finished with his job...my fault.

Can you give the plumber info that did your natural gas?

Are you certain a licensed electrician installed your generator inlet? As others have mentioned, a simple interlock is required by electrical code for safety. Safety from you accidentally having both breakers on which could destroy your DuroMax, but also safety for linemen working on downed power lines. In addition to being dangerous for linemen, it's not uncommon that you might be sharing a transformer with some of your neighbors in which case you'll be trying to back-feed them with power on the secondary side of the transformer as well. Please, if you haven't already, install a $30 interlock on your panel.

Yes, sir. I should have waited until he installed that part before I made the video, he came back that same day and put the piece on the breaker panel.

@@SWEATYJARHEAD.78 Good to know. I realize you posted this about 10 months ago, but as "experts" on this subject, we viewers can be unrelenting when we spot something like this. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed your video.

Looks like you were setup for Hurricane Berly. Any updates on how things went with our local power outage? I survived with solar power packs And EcoFlo and a Jackery. I’m now adding a DuroMax generator to use in conjunction with my batteries. Just had a 50 AMP installed.

Not sure what with all of the issues... All I know is that as a community, we are not prepared. Hopefully, your hookup goes well.

I believe it was around $500

And the main breaker interlock is where? Was this inspected? As an electrician of 30 years,this doesn't look safe to me. What if someone who isn't well versed on the sequence forgets about the main breaker and the poor lineman goes to reconnect the line and is electrocuted? PLEASE put an interlock on there!

He had to order it. Two times they delivered the wrong size. He did finally receive the correct size and now it is safely installed.

i imagine that gas line is a 1/2" line right? to which your generator gas hose is a matching 1/2"? right?
@CreditCardWars Ай бұрын
Gas line is 3/4"
@xHMProductionx Ай бұрын
How far away is the generator from your house? They recommend 20-25 feet for safety reasons due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Is it any different if you’re only using natural gas?
@SWEATYJARHEAD.78 Ай бұрын
It is only about 5 feet away because I don't have enough room for it to be ruther away.

I bought a Duromax and it would not start up on gas, liquid gas. Tried and tried. I sent it back and bought a Champion.
