I'd guess that it might be one they just forgot to submit the license for after a PCN. I'd just give them a holler and let them know that you couldn't find it in the FCC license database and was wondering if it had been coordinated recently. -forrest On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 6:27 PM, Darin

Mark's answer matches what my recommendation would be. I'd just use the same sized conductor for ground that you used for the circuit itself, and make sure that the breaker is sized correctly (meaning not too large) for the wire run. I would probably put a 15A breaker in back at the panel, even

The difference between an inverter and a non inverter generator is that the non inverter models typically use an ac generator which directly produces ac power. This requires the motor to be running at the correct rpm to get the proper ac frequency. In addition, they tend to be susceptible to
