Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] instructions for wiring up a generator


generators in relation to powering up houses in the USA are ok however
there's one specific issue for those who use electrical appliances such as
computers and other sensitive equipment. generators are primarily AC driven 
but  can
also have DC drive output.  sensitive equipment  should be  protected by 
surge
equipment and backup and anti spike boxes. otherwise the  relative
frequencies of power  to sensitive equipment can cross over and be 
destroyed  as well
as the main thing of power being interupted by the cycle  of the generator. 
it
does not run constant so there will be some variations on  power supply at
times. if you are doing this, I advise having a test system with  the 
generator
to alert you of frequency drop and power trips. also isolated  sockets and
diagnostics.

As I work primarily in studios and on stage these days I always analyse
power regulation and hire out professional Diesel generators for stage use. 
they
do not trip as there are always 2 lines of simultanious output  to protect
against  powerdowns or frequency issues. feedback is also something you 
have to
watch out for and overloads.
