Austin Texas winter storm brought me here

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST video I have seen about what kind of generator to buy, its uses and how to start a generator! FANTASTIC!!

I recently purchased a 6,500 watt Champion generator on sale for $699 CAD which I thought for emergency backup power was very reasonable. I opted to turn the generator into a tri fuel with the US Carburation motor snorkel for $185 which I can't say enough about. Simple half hour install, only because I am all thumbs with mechanics and motors. Fuel storage is a big concern with emergency backup generators. So long as I have natural gas, I am good to go. I also have a few propane tanks in reserve, just in case. Simple quick disconnect to switch between natural gas and propane and I can still fall back to normal gas with no fiddling around. Another thing to think about before getting a backup generator is preparing your house. If your house does not have LED lights throughout, do yourself a favor and do so. You will save money and reduce your generator power requirements and or allow the running of more devices at a time.

I'm a few years late on the video; its exactly what i need. I'm moving to an area of my state with a significantly higher probability of power outages compared to my old area - and my property is much more off-grid than I was previously in my former home. Wanted to add a transfer switch and generator to my home and this answered most my questions. Thanks.

Solid advice. Thanks for the in depth tour for first time buyers!

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain. This information was detailed and allowed me the opportunity to understand fully about generators and which ones to get.

To get the best from your generator, you need to really go through the owners manual and understand what you are reading. A generator is a great machine to own, BUT it does work on gasoline and produces the kind of power you get in your home. If you purchase a CPE or Champion gen, read the manual, if you do not understand a part of it, their great customer service will help you to understand the part you are hung up with. When done using, unplug from the generator but let run to cool off the engine for say 15 minutes if it is hot out. THEN turn off the gas valve and allow generator to run out of gas. this is the right way to shut down. Then turn off the engine run switch. Gas will not be left in the carb to gum up or to leave deposits in needle valves, jets, emulsion tubes that can clog up and pretty much leave YOU in the dark. Treat gas with SeaFoam, every three months start up the generator warm it up and put a load of at least half the Gen's rated continuous output, say you have a 3500 watt gen. plug in a blowdryer or space heater. this helps the generator maintain its residual magnetic field to produce power. witha weak magnetic field spinning in the stator, a small a.c. voltage is made, sent through the AVR and turned to d.c. that goes to the rotor by means of carbon brushes held against copper slip rings which in turn send current to windings on the rotor, causing the rotor to turn into an electro-magnet. This is when you start to get some real power, when that powerful magnetic rotor spins inside all those windings on an iron laminated core. DO NOT ALLOW generator to run out of gas with a load on it, that can kill the magnetic field needed to start producing power and might burn out the AVR.

Good learning objectives at the start of the video which aids in enhanced instructional.

Awsome advice 🙏thanks from everyone here

Great information

Thank you for your help

one thing that should be mentioned is that for using a large portable generator say 7-9kw, to the max efficiency is to hook up the 30 amp to a transfer switch. In this case you only have 30 amps to work with. With the larger portable generators they might supply 50 amps via the NEMA twist lock.

Very helpful video!

I just got a Champion 4500/3900 dual fuel inverter generator (model 200988) from Amazon. For just under $1000 you get an inverter machine that can also run on propane, which lets you have a fuel that doesnt break down and gum up the fuel system during long term storage. When the power goes out, start the genny on propane and then go buy fresh gas or more propane as needed. Gas stabilizer only works for about a year tops.

Two years ago, we had a bad storm here in rural Maine, lost power for a week, all the generators were sold and taken. Stopped at the John Deere place, they had a bunch of Honda generators coming in that afternoon. The salesman picked out the one I should get, a Honda EM4000SX, the price was over $2000, it did everything I needed it to do and saved all the food in my deep freezer. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

If so, what size do i need? Whst would be the largest amount of scooters to be safely charged at one time? Thx for any help. I dont know much.

A generator is a must have here in South Africa. Our only power company Eskom may or may not leave the whole of South Africa without power for two weeks, maybe now in May, maybe in June or July. In the middle of our dry freezing Winter. And most people can't even think of buying a generator because it costs usually about 2 months paychecks with usually no way of paying off. Since you know so much about generators, do you know where I can buy a generator that will power my fridge, box freezer, WiFi router, tv box and tv? For two weeks? I've got the lights covered, and cooking. But I need a generator that can run from 6pm till 9pm every evening for 2 weeks. And maybe one that runs on diesel and costs about R1 000 or less. Rand, not dollar.

In the summer of 2021 I bought a Champion Model 100573 4000W open frame inverter generator- It runs great always starts on the 1st pull however there is hardly any RPM difference between zero load & full load.

@@MaxCruise73 good question furnace motor electronic control modules get fried even when power is on, but i presume you'Re talking about AC, because you probably wont want to run central heat on a portable gen. my furnace backup heat strips can use 20 kw (although im only running on 15), and the highest power portable gens are less than 10kw.

I'm on the fence, picked up a 9kw running gas generator at costco but i'm thinking about returning. seems like a lot of hassle, maintenance, potential fuel going bad and the day I need it it may be wet outisde or below -15C (champion says operate above -15C). in Canada, very possible that i would need to run it at -20 or -25C (eastern canada winter), and in the prairies forget about it, average -30sC for a couple of months. This brings up the storage issue. I'm not going to store it in the garage (no room in there with a car) and then drag it over the frozen or snowed in driveway and would need to keep that path clear as well as the actual area where the gen will be used which gets snow also (against garage outside wall side of house). So this leaves the options: 1. store outside with some kind of cover, start it every couple of weeks to make sure it works. Or do i need to bring it into the garage (again dragging across potential snow bank) to warm it up then drag back out to run it, and if i drag it through snow then it possibly gets wet underneath (is that a problem?). Or build an open makeshitft "roof" area off the shed and keep it outside so it can run without getting snow or rain on top of it. 2. Then there,s the panel hookup - i intended to get my electrician to install an interlock on the main panel (not to code in Canada but still is a relaticely safe option if done right and his preferred solution the transfer subpanel is way too complicated, i have a 200 main and a 100 panel across the garage, circuits are all mixed up fridges and some lighting etc.) to isolate the right circuits into a transfer panel would take many hours i would guess and rerouting wires). 3. Then there's fuel. If it takes a tank every 8 hours i would need to store minimum 3 or 4 / 5-gallon jugs of gas to get me through a day or a day and half. Is that safe to keep in a shed? Also with stabilizer, good for a year tops probably. Come spring can I dump that fuel into my car? Can my car engine burn stabilized fuel? The best solution would be propane as a fuel, with a big tank rental with a 500 litre tank and pay that upfront cost, but at least i could go for days (assuming the gen will run for days uninterrupted and that neighbors dont come around with pitchforks). I could potentially use it for my bbq but tank would be 60 feet away so prob not.) The last week long power outage here was the 1998 ice storm, winters if outage usually 12-15 hours after a storm. I'm in large urban area, not in the middle of nowhere, Hydro quebec is fairly efficient, so i'd say we get a few sub 8 hours outages a year, maybe a 15 hour one in winter depending on storms. 4. Then there's the actual operation in case of emergency power needed: a) assuming winter, will gen run if -20C (like -10C + windchill), b) if I have a day's worth of gas on hand, and roads (unlikely here) or gas stations out of commission due no power, and it lasts several days, then i'm going to all that trouble for a 24 hour outage, after that i need more fuel, i'm not planning to add 5 gallon canisters and store in shed that just increases danger and quanityt of fuel that has to be recycled every 6 months. c) Inside the house, before firing up gen, I need to go around with my checklist and flashlight and turn off all but my emergency breakers will be marked with labels of course (this will a be a bit of work to figure out THE LIST as things are mixed up on 2 panels) , i.e. some wall circuits for led lights and a couple of space heaters at medium setting (1kw) , 2 fridges, toaster + microwave + maybe 1 stove top burner (remove the other 4 knobs on stove to prevent use) to be run one by one, shut off water heater and central heat sub panels/breakers, that's about it. If I had a propane unit and a big tank, I could see this being a lot easier than gasoline. If I stick with gasoline gen, it looks like a lot of hassle and fuel/equipment maintenance for short outages, and if a major catastrophe, not sure how easy to go to gas station every 18 hours. Any advice appreciated.

First let me say, if you can afford to keep the generator and maintain it, keep it. You can convert any gasoline generator to a Tri-fuel, so it can run on gasoline, liquid propane and natural gas. Buy a 3 kWh power station/solar generator works great with any generator and will extend your fuel usage. I'll try to answer your questions with short answers. 1) A generator can be stored in an enclosed space, but never run in an enclosed space. Personally, I would store it in the garage until needed, if you have the space. Don't worry about the bottom getting wet from pulling through the snow. Hopefully you would have shoveled a path, so this wouldn't be an issue. 2) Actually, a Manual Transfer Switch is better and safer then an Interlock Switch. The only benefits of a Interlock Switch would be they are cheaper and you can select any circuits to turn on and off. With a Manual Transfer Switch, you are limited to the number of circuits you can use, depending on the Transfer Switch. Once you select the circuits, it's plug and play. No need to really balance the loads, because they are already balanced with the initial set up. Also, most Transfer Switches come with watt meters for both legs of the generator for load balancing. A Transfer Switch connects to the same circuit that is in your main control panel, it's just rewired to go through the transfer switch instead. (Watch some Transfer Switch KZread videos to get a better understanding how they work) 3) The rated fuel consumption on generators are normally rated at either 25% load for smaller generators and 50% load on larger generators like yours. With your generator size and lets say you use around 1kWh, on a tank of gas, you should be able to easily go an entire day. Remember, it depends on the load. 4) I run fully synthetic 5W-30, all year round in our generator. I've started and run our generator around 0 degrees F on natural gas. Sometimes it might not start right away, but it will start as long I start it every month for about an hour. (This is a small price to pay, then being without power in the winter) I forgot to mention that with fuel storage, use some type of fuel stabilizer. Rotate your gas every three months, by putting the old gas in your gas vehicles. When you go to fill up, take those empty cans with you to re-fill. (Put the stabilizer in the empty gas can first) Number each gas can and record the date of fuel purchase. (I use a dry eraser white board)

Size/type/quality. How much power you need (size).

Cooperation request: Hi dear Mr.Bailey Line Road, could you tell me how to contact you, we want to cooperate with you. Look forward to your reply. Thanks and best regards!

I would totally agree with you that both Champion and Honda are likely the two best options for people to buy. I own both, a small 2000 watt Champion inverter for casual use ($500)and a larger Honda EU6500is inverter for home backup($5000). However, one of the things that is important that most people seem to forget is the need to generate clean power (less than 5% Harmonic Distortion) to protect anything with a microprocessor being powered by the generator. Expensive office electronics IMO should ONLY be powered by an inverter generator that provides this clean power. It makes no sense to buy too cheaply and have the generator power destroy sensitive electronics. Do yourself a favour and check this before buying any generator

@Pk3_Garage

2 жыл бұрын

Yes and no to clean power. A non invertor generator, will not fry your sensative electronics, if It's set up and used correctly. You need to check the voltage/frequency, before placing a load on the generator and with at least 50% load. As long as the voltage is between 115 to 125 volts and 59 to 62 hertz, you will be fine. Also, use surge protected power strips, with sensative electronics. Using a manual transfer switch is a great option too. We have a 9000/7250 watts Predator non-invertor generator that can run our entire house. (Including our 3 ton AC with a hard start kit) We have two manual transfer switches, 10 and 6 circuit. With over 70 hrs. run time, we haven't had any issues with our sensative electronics.

The size of the generator depends how great are your house power demand.

Also even the specs says it consumes only 1 galon/hour at half load and 1.5 galons/hour at full load this is not the case with mine, since i can use my generator for close to 115 hours at half load with my 100 galons single gas tank, 👍😊.

This is a good video. I use a generator often, as a whole house backup when power fails. I had tried many many different models of open-frame inverter units. I think most people buy generators that are too big. A 10kW genset, where only a fraction of that is usually needed, burns one _heck_ of a lot of fuel needlessly and is really loudddd. However, you do need a generator that is burly enough to start motors like your sump pump or refrigerator. If you can deal with the louder noise produced, a traditional alternator-style open frame generator will have quite a bit more "overhead" -- meaning the ability to produce higher power for a few seconds, to get electric motors started. Of all the gensets I have tried, I have settled on a rather small unit, but with a couple of interesting capabilities: a Honda EM3500SX that I have converted to natural gas operation by swapping in a new carburetor. My house typically requires no more than 2000W to operate everything except the central A/C. I attached a 120/240v inlet to the outside of the house, and wired it back to the main panel through a 30A breaker that is interlocked with the house mains switch. The main electric motors it has to contend with are two refigerators and a sump pump. The unit has plenty of headroom so that starting these motors is not a problem. It's about medium-loud: not quiet, but not nearly as loud as many of the larger units. A couple other things I like about that particular Honda: Ground and Neutral aren't bonded, and it has a very accurate voltage regulator. Additionally, most brands don't recharge their starter batteries when running; Hondas do. As with all alternator-based gensets, you have to accurately calibrate RPM so that you get exactly 60hz frequency power, but that's easy.

I live in GA, we can get severe weather some winters but after the mess in TX I've realized I need to invest in a generator for my home. Very informative video. Thank you.

My younger brother is Solar powered but for our winter here in Québec, he bought a big 15,000 watts diezel Champion generator. . .It started right off when he needed it it ran 4 hours than seized. . .As for quality, , , Champion is not my reference. . .

SO this is a Champion commercial. SMH

So, basically a Champion commercial. 👎

Well come on.....he did state that he had used several differen ones.........personllaly I like to hear from anyone thats used several...........they been there done that! I do agree about the China thing. One of the first things I always ask is getting parts. I try to question the folks that typically do work on them......you know at a repair shop, they will be truthful

Great info. Just try to not have so much spit in your mouth while recording. Jeeeez
