Its more for aluminum wire, But NOALOX works well for preventing future corrosion. beware though, NOALOX is attracted to clean clothing and you will need a young priest and an old priest to clean it off.

deoxit or corrosionex

It is only for paralleling sets, Its an anti motorizing thing (basically the parallel set is driving harder than this set so its no longer generating power and is basically now an electric motor turning a diesel engine.

You should size based on the load, If you dont get these things to run around 50 to 80% rated load they will start wetstacking (buildup of unburnt fuel gunk in the exhaust, and eventually the head) which can be cleaned out by some good heavy loaded running. The ones I selected were more based...

greetings and welcome to the fun 1. not sure tbh 2 somethings missing it can be as simple as a battery or larger, you have to look close at the pics 3 load dependant, for these sizes id say no more than 1 gallon per hour but dont quote me 4 anything can be fixed with enough money and...

Guy beat me to it... quick and easy test, turn on the panel lights and see if they go out when the batteries are disconnected. Long term I would be interested in the DC voltage.

That bit me too, The 00s are the other way around.

Need to start isolating things, Id start with fuel pumps

Noalox works great, only problem is 1 drop of it is: A. enough to coat a full grown elephant B. Is attracted to a clean shirt and C cant be cleaned off with anything less than lava soap and an SOS pad. Its like anitseize had a one night stand with napalm.

There is more than one way to skin this particular cat, just hard to inhibit a good spirited nerd debate.

Doesnt have to be salt water, moisture in general can start the reaction. Another concern (and more likely cause of battery corrosion) is Electrolytic Corrosion. But why split hairs

you should see copper to aluminum

Get some dielectric grease for the connections

I made something for the 6 gallon cans I have. I basically have an an to npt adapter in a bushing, then i threaded a fitting to the internal diameter with a dip tube. Took some slight machining and a weld

Transformer is a separately derived source and the neutral x0 must be bonded to ground. I believe the nec also requires a ground rod as well. I dont think the generator contactor counts as a disconnecting means as described in the nec definitions

No worries, My situation is quite unique, I abused my controls powers and completely automated my set.

Speaking of.... Power outage last night and the Christmas lights were an additional visual indicator that my generator was indeed working.

Remember to bond the transformer output

Haha. My across the street neighbors are on a different circuit and they aren't shy about showing it. It's all fair though because when the whole neighborhood is out my house is lit up like a frigging Christmas tree.
