Hey everyone since I got my 832 up and going she has her first real test today. The remanence of hurricane Ida rolled though late yesterday through this morning. As luck has it my house is with out power from 10pm Wednesday and at 2pm Thursday still no power if sight.
The old girl has been running steady since 530am. I don’t have it wired to a transfer which yet. What I did was throw together 2 outlets in a box ran some 10/2 to the terminals. Ran a few extension cords to the fridge and tv and 2 lights. It’s enough to be comfortable and watch Netflix. Oh and yes I have everything on its own surge protector. I had to use all 3 of my rockford Fosgate protectors so everything is safe.
Next month is when my electrician is scheduled to install a 50amp receptacle and a manual transfer switch.
Here’s some photos of her cranking away. There almost no load now the refrigerator is cold again and there’s no lights on just the tv and a modem.
