Do not autostart autodesk mac generator#
* We have a manual transfer swtich/box that the generator is hooked into. * Expecting to be able to still manually start the generator along with automatically by tapping into existing generator wiring system, not a complete rewire the generator ignition. * Have an existing electric start generator like a Harbor Freight Predator 8750 known by many as a typical chonda (chinese Honda knockoff) * Have a generator autostart if power loss is detected I wanted to buy stuff and just hook it up. I don't have an electrical engineer degree and did not want to get that involved in the setup.

I wanted something to setup that would work with my requirements and all I had to do is buy and wire up.

There are a few out there that also used stuff they had laying around. So why are you here because someone else had to have had this idea before right? Well they have but it seems no one is willing to properly document what they used, how they set it up, or really provide any useful information. Maybe also have the generator auto start on a monthly basis to make sure everything is working as expected. Wouldn't it be nice that there was some way to have something auto detect the line power go out and auto start the generator. Then once the power is back on go back to the basement, flip the circuit back, wait 5 minutes so the generator can cool down, go outside and shutdown the generator, turn off the gas, and close it all back up.

When the power would go out someone would then have to go outside, turn on the gas, enable the choke to full, press the button to start, wait a few seconds, place choke to half choke, go inside and walk in the basement, flip the circuit so those circuits are now on generator power, go back outside and open the choke to full open. Like me you could not justify $500+ auto transfer and purchased for less than $200 a manual transfer like the one in the picture. You then was smart and purchased a proper generator transfer station. They often can take replacement parts directly from Honda depending on how well they were made. These generators are commonly referred to as a chonda (Chinese Honda). So you are like me and can't afford the latest Generac or Oran whole house generator or just don't think it is worth the money so you went out and purchased a fairly cheap generator like mine the Harbor Freight Predator. Follow all electrical code or better yet hire someone who will. Don't be a fool and wire up something illegally as that may kill someone or burn down your house. Your setup and requirements will most likely be different and you most likely will not be able to just copy exactly what I did. This information is provided as informational only.
