I will see if it arrives with UL Marking and or paperwork. If it doesn't I just found a 30 amp UL rated one: https://www.altestore.com/store/enclosures-electrical-safety/overcurrent-devices-fuses-breakers/din-rail-circuit-breakers/square-d-qou230-30a-2-pole-circuit-breaker-p9411/ I may...

I think that you have found one of the correct people! If my 802a ever dies to where I can't fix it, I will reach out to @Light in the Dark and see if I could hire him to fix it.

It's going into a 50 amp breaker into an Outback Radian 8048a (the kit where it was pre-wired). The thought with the breaker is just to keep code as it's job is to protect the wire between the 802A and the Inverter. Every comercial generator has a breaker to protect the wires, thus if...

I have ordered a DIN mount breaker for my MEP-802A. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08H1Q3V4Y I am running #10 THHN2 with the 75C rating it's rated at 35 amps (40 amps at 90C). I am going to make the internal connection from the MEP-802A to the breaker with #6 that I already have on hand. I...

The picture (black taco shaped item) you included is a battery covert, to prevent dropped tools from shorting it out. The aux fuel connector is a JIC-5 (I had a type-o of JIC-6 which is not correct) end this also works: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07CZ69KBY Others will be able to help you a...

At $6+ a gallon you might want to add a lock to that box....

If you can't find anything better, you might look for some thin wood stove gasket rope.

It looks like in New England HHO is likely to be a mix of oil and biodiesel: https://oilandenergyonline.com/articles/all/northeast-governors-sign-b50-bills-law/ https://www.maine.gov/energy/sites/maine.gov.energy/files/inline-files/LD1632-Biofuels-FINAL-April-2011.pdf...

Give it time, rates are going up.....

MY MEP-802a is replacing a Honda eu2000i that was paired with an Outback Power PSX-240 Auto Transformer to provide 240 power my inverter requires.

If I could pickup 14kW of panels at $0.17/watt I would jump on it. The balance of the system will cost a lot more, break even on that wouldn't take me a year with my current electric prices.

I have 24kW of solar on the roof, 11.3kW connected to an Outback Radian 8048a with a 30kWh agm battery bank. Once the agm batteries need to be replaced I plan to move to a larger lithium battery bank. The remainder is connected to a 10kW Solaredge inverter which doesn't do anything when the...

I wonder if the Russians know that the Maine Brunswick naval air station is now just an airport. That or being within a few miles of https://www.gd.com/en/our-businesses/marine-systems/bath-iron-works might also make my location a target. In any case, if it's not raining next weekend I will...

I checked ( https://www.southwire.com/calculator-conduit )to make sure that the 3/4 pcv conduit I running 60' across the yard for the temp location my MEP-802a will be able to support 4 x #6 THWN conductors as I will replace the generator connection with an EVSE to charge my Cubertruck if it...

With the 2nd generator that I couldn't get home Light in the Dark ( https://www.steelsoldiers.com/members/light-in-the-dark.74995/ ) has purchased from it me in the https://www.govplanet.com/ NJ location. He had a friend pick it up from the action to avoid the storage fees. Later this summer...

If you are looking for a non-road trip (city car) you might look at the 2023 bolt https://www.cars.com/articles/2023-chevrolet-bolt-evs-price-cut-makes-a-good-thing-better-450666/ after the issues with the fires they are dropping the price for them a lot. I would install a charger outside and...

That is a great electrical rate in Maine with optional time of use I am paying $0.17 per kWh off-peak and $0.34 kWh on peak.

I once had a coworker that had a cogen box in his basement instead of a boiler. https://www.yanmar.com/global/energy/cogeneration_systems/ I think that it's much better to keep it outdoors, like an outdoor wood boiler.

I have played with charging when the power is out, I have never had to charge in anger when the power was out. A number of times when the power has been out I have just plugged into a 120 plug to top the car off so as not to waste the solar that I can no longer sell back to the grid. When the...
