Thank you so much for taking the time to set all this up, record demonstrating and posting it. I can't believe how little information there is on automatic transfer switches used on portable generators.

Great video! Just what I was looking for👍

@paultice610 Жыл бұрын

That is awesome. Specially, if you have a six or 10 circuit transfer switch system, you could set that up to where you wouldn’t have to do anything they were just stay on generator and you would just have the ATS giving out the power. Pretty slick.

@GeneratorReviews Жыл бұрын

That’s the best way to have it setup, that way when the power comes back and goes back in 15 minutes, you don’t have to run outside and set everything up again👍🏾

Very nicely done buddy. That would work really nice Incase your out of your house and power went off, the generator would turn on and power the selected breakers you have. I think running it on propane would be the best option, so you don’t have gas sitting in the tank and it goes bad. Thanks 🙏 Gavin

Hi, Gavin! That generator/auto-transfer switch combo is great. I wonder if it'll work with other generators that have an auto-start feature. I imagine the sensor plug would be wired differently on different mfg's but I bet it wouldn't be too hard to build an adapter. Nice demo!

You go to all corners of the generator universe to find solutions. I love it. The Westinghouse ST smart transfer switch looks like it has a compatible connector. Has anyone tried it on the Genmax 7250?

@GeneratorReviews Жыл бұрын

I actually tried the Westinghouse ST smart transfer, and for some reason it starts the generator but shut it off after a minute.

@wingloading Жыл бұрын

@@GeneratorReviews I'm guessing Genmax uses the same circuit logic as Duromax and is wired to the panel button, meaning it starts by holding for 1-2 seconds. Westinghouse probably uses dry contact and keeps the button circuit closed. After a period of time, it reinterprets the close as a shutdown press. I too am anxiously waiting for this to come to market so I can try on my xp9000.

Recently, we had an order pending for the GENMAX GM9000iED Inverter Generator. It was on backorder. We were notified that the GENMAX GM9000iED was discontinued and our order was cancelled. We were offered the "new" GENMAX GM9000iEDC Inverter Generator at a higher price. As far as we can tell, there is no difference between models. Nothing has changed except for the "C" in the model number. We noticed that your test unit GENMAX GM7250iEDC also has the new "C" in the model number. What has changed (except for a higher price)? Do you know? Thanks.

Pretty cool, but way too slow to transfer. When I fire my portable generator up I switch it to the load like 5 seconds later and have no issues. The whole process should be able to happen in less than 15 seconds which would meet requirements for life saving equipment in the home.
