Yes, this came with it. It acts like a breaker but a short term blast won't open the circuit but prolonged current stronger than the settings on the red dial will kick it. Thanks for your input Bert, I appreciate it.

It's the upper 50, the lug and red wire are the first thing. Wouldn’t this limit the draw?

30 is A/C, thats done for the year. Gas water heater, furnace, stove, dryer. The garage can have a zero draw aside from the compressor and that would be fine. The only thing running in the house when I'd be running this would be the fridge, maybe a phone charger or pc but nothing high draw.

Yes, it would. So help a brother out, what would you do Mike?

I thought that, then thought what about a little diesel!? How cool would that be? No power, no problem. They did supply them with the 18hp Kohler as a service truck option, but diesel would be nice.

It was just a thought, I remember reading they supplied some early 350's for service trucks. The trailer wouldn't take up any more or less room with this mounted on it.

Oh, yeah! It's 100% absurd. I'm finding a ton of dirt cheap diesel engines in the 15-20hp range, this 10hp should cover the cost give or take a few bucks. The trailer is just sitting here it could be a cool project, then all my friends and family could also use it when needed.

It’s 100a, I didn’t understand what I was looking at initially. The second dual pole 50 is a 220 in the laundry room.

I'm waiting on quotes to upgrade my service, but I'm interested in hearing your opinion. A small diesel like a Perkins 400 or Kubota D1105 wouldn't be a good alternative?

Kicking around ideas, these did come with an optional 18hp Kohler. I looked around and found some options for small diesel engines and while it's not the same as my original plan I do have a small utility trailer that I could mount this on. Depends on what it will cost me to upgrade the...

Yes, it's 100amp. not 200, the garage is 50amp not 100. The 10hp is too big, even though the compressor has the loadless start feature and to use this motor I will have to upgrade the main. It's new to me, but I'm learning and really appreciate everyone's help. Thanks

So I got to poking around the Power Companies website and you know it seems that they are really excited to offer EV charging, I open up the highlighted offer and it's highlighting a 48amp charger on a 60amp dual pole breaker. So if I get the estimate from them and what it is they are offering...

That's awesome! I love it.

A Camelback? something about the monstrous old line drive machines is just awesome. I love overbuilt monstrosities, big vintage cast iron machines are my favorite.

I didn’t know exactly what I was getting into, I still don’t. That’s ok, I’m learning. If the power company said they wouldn’t feed it then I understand. I’m enjoying the process and I like learning this stuff, if this one won’t work then I’ll figure out one that will. It’s been fun and...

I called them before I drug it home, they said I’m limited on my side not theirs.

The Power company won’t let me have a 200amp breaker without a seperate service to the garage, I’m going to ask for details tomorrow. Honestly, I want 3phase. I want to see all my options mapped out then decide what’s best for the long haul, I don’t want to go slightly bigger and wish I had...

Turns out it’s a 50amp panel, the other 50amp runs to a 220 outlet in the house. My uncle said it would run it, but after asking here I’ve been told it’s a no go. And I need to fix some stuff before I can even do that. I don’t need a few of these circuits, they run to old halogen lights and I...

Well, I may have bit off more than I can chew. I'm being told my panel won't run a single phase 10hp, so now I need to find a 5hp since thats the lowest that my pump is recommended to run with. I'm bummed, not surprised but bummed.

Thanks Dave.
