Did they repeal the law that prohibited registering them? What was THAT LAW SPECIFICALLY? Laws do not "allow" things or actions, they prohibit them or require an action. The "allowing" of things or actions died with the monarchy form of government that we threw off 250 years ago.

Directly to the panel or through a backfeed outlet like a dryer or stove outlet? That's the key point. If you are feeding the panel directly at the panel that's ok. If not then you are still current limited to the size of the wire that goes to the panel from your backfeed point. You will also...

Are you feeding the panel directly or are you backfeeding through another outlet? My point above is, if you are back feeding through a stove or dryer outlet to energize the two busses in the panel(giving you 240v in two 120v legs), you are limited to/in the current capacity of the wire that...

That's ok as long as you are keeping within 50 feet from the generator to the house panel. Once you start going beyond 50' you start incurring a voltage drop and that drop can only be dealt with by going to a larger circular mil wire. And even that might be pushing it in some cases. On another...

You can't over size a supply conductor.

Exactly!

Your loads would be additive. If one appliance starts and runs drawing current and creating a voltage drop, then another kicks in and draws more current and creates more voltage drop, then another, and another the end result could be catastrophic if your wire size feeding the devices is too...

No, THHN is made to be put into(cabled)into some type of conduit or jacket for protection, it is not for use as exposed conductors. If you use THHN you must protect it. It has poor UV protection if any and the outer coating will shed. Its also quite fragile and will not take repeated rolling...

A two wheel dolly is $39+- at Harbor Freight. Modify one to roll your cord up on and wheel it instead of carrying it.:D

Glad you are making rapid progress! Be sure to protect the rotor/windings.

That's a 5v drop under no load conditions. Once you put a load on that line, you will see an additional drop as current begins to flow. Current and voltage are ALWAYS inversely proportional, meaning as current rises, voltage drops and vice versa. Motors of any type will not like it if it goes...

Thanks for your efforts! Its easier to buy gold:smile:

I dont want the paperwork hassles or the state hounding me for taxes.:wink:

I do have a friend in the hardware business. I'll ask him next time I go by the store. All those suppliers that crop up on the searches are all business to business suppliers and don't sell retail to individuals. This is what bugs me about this upper hose. I've yet to find one for sale retail...

Thanks for that, I just requested one also from both. Well, here's the response from PartTarget: Just a short note to let you know that we have received your Request for Quote and to introduce myself to you. I will be responsible for following up on your requirement and will do so...

Ok, will give them both a try and see where it leads. Thanks.

I've seen these links you posted. I've not requested a quote from any supplier because they want a company name and address to even talk to you. I've tried contacting the TZsupplies and not had a response from them. Makes me wonder if they are even a real entity. The whole availability of this...

I've thought about that route but just haven't had the time to go do it recently. With the number of generators out there, one would think they would be common......that's just not so.

I don't know yet, I've not made the call to find out. I'd also have to send a sample for them to copy. Where in the world did you run into a supply of "only 18 left in stock"?
