Ran some conduit from the garage, under the sidewalk for the battery charger/maintainer. Don't have the charger or batteries yet but just staying ahead of the game.

Put a plug on my stove load bank and rigged up a supplement 5400w add on. Was finally able to get up to 100% load and let it run for 2 1/2 hours at 100% and 115%. Cooled it down to 70% - 50% and then no load for 10 minutes before shutting down. She spit out a few carbon crispies and some black...

'Irma' is coming !!!!!

I have often heard the term 'ground loop' which occurs with more than one ground on a system. I'm not exactly sure what a ground loop is or does, but one ground point should be sufficient. Thanx for simplifying it Daybreak.

It's my understanding that there should only be one path to ground, house ground when connected to the house; and ground rod when not connected to the house. Not supposed to have two grounding points when running the house.

I've never used it before but it looks like it is gonna work well. Glad to see a fellow buckeye on here....

Once I hook up to the house I will disconnect the ground rod and remove the ground bar connecting ground and neutral. The ground rod is there for when I run the generator unhooked from the house. I use the temporary ground rod when I run the load bank which I am currently working on.

Good call - It's just temporary for now.

Painted the electric box OD and found an aspirin bottle that fits the wire sock to keep the critters out.

Sealed up the top seams with silicone today. Noticed some drips inside from the last rain. Gonna get a fitted cover for the top half just to keep everything dry.

Those are awesome !!

Thanx for the info. Chris. I have been using a furnace squirrel cage fan on the oven elements.

DieselAddict - could I wire the dryer element to the stove wiring and mount the element on the oven door ?? Oven door would be open with fan blowing on the element. What do you think?? What size wire would I need to use for the dryer element ?? Thanx for the help.

I was looking at a dryer heating element to supplement my electric stove load bank. It's 5400 watts and has two blade connectors on it. How would one connect this to the output lugs ? L1 and L3 from each blade and ground wire from element housing to ground lug.?

Got my interlock switch in the mail today $69 on flea bay. Crazy expensive for a piece of plexiglass but cheaper than several other systems.

Love my Kubota - very useful machine...

Something will turn up...

Very nice !

I'm gonna run my ground through the boot to the ground rod when I run the load bank...
