Do u have a diagram on how to connect a geni to utility from the main breaker outside .. I don't want to do the connection to the earth leakage as it is not as neat. Kindly assist
Thank you for the video. Can you use any KVA generator? 2kva 5kva 10kva? Meaning anyone required for your needs or does it need to match the KVA on the breaker?
the genny has a breaker already on it. It depends on what you are doing, if you connecting to your home, you must have earth leakage with overload protection after genny.
On the generator with two output plug points is it possible to connect both to one ip44 connector, to get the most out of the generator to the change over switch?
some generators just have those two plugs bridged on the inside of the generator so no you wouldn't gain anything. I suppose by suing both plug points you can increase the current carrying capacity as you are limited to smaller cable to fit in plug top? This is one of my pet peeves, a genny says 4kW or 5kW but then has 16A plug fitting. They should have a high amp connection point.
A V-0-V generator may not be connected to an installation in South Africa. This is in SANS 10142. However you can convert it that the neutral is earthen and the centre tap is no longer earthed. I have converted plenty and made them compliant.
@@patrickcannell2258 yes but the code strictly forbids V-0-V generators from being wired into a house. Measure L-E, you will only get 120V, same with N-E, but L-N you will get 240V. Its a V-0-V
Very clear and helpful video, thank you.
Thank you making this so easy to understand.
Thank you for the videos, please continue you work
Very much applicable ,but does it work automatically also,??
Great setup. Thank you for explaining everything clearly
Best video out there. Even my granny gets it. Thank you
Very informative
Educational
Hi good work thanks.
Is there any way to get your generators output to 12volt

what about the earth? Does the generator need to be earthed or is the DB's earthing enough?
Can we have a video for the circuit with utility feed 3 phase plus backup generator.
genius ...
Do you need a breaker between the generator power feed and the changeover switch, or a breaker between the changeover switch and earth leakage?

Can you explain what to do with the earth?
Hi how much do you charge to set up a house

How do you know when the main supply comes back on if you are running from generator
The earth leakage won’t work on the generator unless the neural is bonded to earth.
just buy a double throw switch
What about the V-0-V issue? Also a plug can not handle the 5kW?

I add a 32 A plug to handle 5kW or I go straight into the generator.with 4mm cable.

Same for solar then?
Yup
doesnt having the exhaust exit outside negate the point of building an enclosure? wouldnt you want to dissipate the sound from the exhaust as well?
