Genny Power up surge
With technology advancing and everyone continuing to install more modern equipment I wanted to call to the memberships attention the issue of generator voltage surge. David actually brought this up a few years ago..... when the Genny comes online and kicks on, there is a momentary voltage surge. Therefore, if you have expensive equipment, you should either have it unplugged or on a surge protector, or turned off while you are transitioning from inverter power,grid, genny, etc.
Why do I bring this up, well, I remembered what David said a few years ago and had my bus setup so everything was off and protected..... EXCEPT when I pulled the uline and installed a thermoelectric wine chiller in its place. It has no off switch and I used the uline outlet. NOW, I know better and last month when I re-insulated the area, I was going to plug it into the instahot outlet as it is switched but in my haste to reinstall in 110 degree heat I forgot!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() So, observations to the membership so you do not make the same mistakes I did when upgrading your equipment! ![]() Pete and Donna Chin 95 42' WLWB On The Road Always! :-) " We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing, Whiskey for my men, and beer for my horses!"-Toby Keith & Willie Nelson - The bridge from Toby Keith's title album track "beer for my horses" |
