Scame Plug installed on 4AWG cord. This will be permanently installed on generator lugs.

Protip for high flex conductors. tighten terminals then flex the wire back and forth a few times, tighten again.

Yep, I was commercial electrical helper in a past life.

Good to know, better to say something than to let someone learn the hard way.

Finally got to get back to generator work yesterday. Installed the fuse mod and MOV and tried to get power manually switching my transfer switch. No power coming out the leads. Talked to Klopp and ran me through some trouble shooting. Removed the top cover and inspected the contractor and all looked good. I gave it some friendly taps with my insulated tools and bam it clicked. Ran my whole house minus the 3rd AC and pool equipment at about 65% load. Next step is to install the auto start set up from Klopp and get it to transfer with the turn of a key.

That rubber mallet is an underappreciated tool in electronic component diagnostic circles... but I'll be damned if its exactly what the doctor ordered sometimes.

So what generator are you using?

That's good to know since I recently purchased one but haven't picked it up yet. I was wondering if I would be able to power both of my AC units also.
