That's the plan exactly. Not ideal but could work for short outages. We have a 50KW generator on the property with a auto transfer switch which serves the main house, but since there are three meters on the property I guess it didn't work to connect the service cottage to the auto system and generator. The third power drop feeds the well pump, water clarifying equipment, and water pressure pump that serve the entire property. i figure in a pinch I can power cord connect some refrigeration located at this location as well. This connection has a manual transfer switch that allows manual hook up to our 7K Honda powered Dayton portable. I'm consistently amazed by and appreciative for this List. It's an invaluable resource of generous expert advise and friendly helpful opinion. This thread has been especially interesting: besides providing some assurance regarding the generator hook up, it also prompted me to turn off my external drives until they are needed. thank you, Cliff -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
