Topic

I am deciding whether to buy a 12KW standard diesel generator, a 25KW pto generator. I don't need autotransfer. Anyone have thoughts on these choices. Also I read a message here about hooking up a generator when the power goes out, everyone said to use a genrac. I currently just trip the main breaker(at the house) and plug into my 220v welder outlet(in the shop) to backfeed my circuits. It has always worked fine. The only two things I can see as a problem are forgetting to turn off the main breaker. We have a propane stove, we wouldn't use the electric dryer or any shop equipment but we do have three freezers, two 220v well pumps and other standard house appliances. So am I missing something and just been lucky?
