so something like this will enable me to feed the panel in my basement and protect linemen working on the gird?

i will try and get a picture with the cover off this weekend. i guess you could call the panel in the basement a "sub-panel" or the empty one a "feed through".

the pictures in the first post show the panels in the detached garage. the meter is on the outside wall directly behind those panels. the meter has two wires going through the wall, one to each panel i assume. from the panel with just a 200amp main beaker the wires go in conduit from the...

i feel there has to be some way to cut line power at the empty box in the garage and feed generator power into the house. the empty box in the garage is basically a secondary discontent. i didn't build the house i am not sure why it is set up the way it is.

i have seen those interlocks but i think your right on it having to be attached to the panel in the actual house which is a no go as its in the basement and i have no easy way to run the cord due to layout. as far as only using 30amps of power and turning off circuits i didn't have to do that...

at my old house i had a 200amp outside transfer switch to hook to my 7500 watt Honda gen set. i wanted to be able to just start the generator and turn things on until it stalled. it was a little over $1200 installed and like always once it was in the power went out like twice for the five...

the fit and finish you did on this building is amazing! you also seem to have mad machining and fabrication skills. cheers :beer:!! could we get an overall shot from the front looking in at the current setup.

when looking at online places what number should i be searching with? since the exact VT number never comes up anywhere?

yes i think i want to buy a head for it. i am a welder by trade and i could weld up the broken parts but its cast/pot metal and i knows its going to A. look like **** and B. may not hold up in the long run. i am going to disassemble it and see what the valves look like and as far as gaskets...

i don't post much on here mostly just look and drool. but i have a little project on my hands and this place is a wealth of knowledge so i figured it would be the place to start. i have been needing to get a compressor since i moved to my new home as the gear head i sold my old house to just...

GM LS truck motors rev to around 5,800 stock. the limiter in the Ford 3v truck motor is 5,100 if my memory serves me right. there not that far apart. and yes it is still making power at that rpm but it signs off right around 5,500 rpm. if you wanna race people from light to light towing a...

i lived in so-cal for 8 months and it never ceases to amaze me what people will spend money on out there.

huh i thought i posted here before guess not! hi every body!

they tack with a MIG for the most part on that sorry excuse for a TV show. if your REALLY good and your fit-up is Really good you can cup a TIG torch and use it to fuse tack and never see the weld flash. place i used to work didn't even have a MIG in the shop so you had to get good at tacking...
