[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2121864, member: 7629"] no problems .. look at what happened during Katrina, after last bad winter storm on east coast, etc. folks were standing in line hoping to get fuel ... of all the fuel sources local propane tanks are the most secure and never go bad. it'd take an earth quake to disrupt natural gas Distribution Compressor Stations, buried lines, etc. EU2000i in use are located next to kitchen outside door in backyard. so don't have to worry about genset disappearing. a short run of beefy cable is used to get power inside. then gets distributed as needed inside. makes a mess with electric cables running all over. but it's safe for Linemen with all hot wiring isolated from house wiring. since my house has three phase. it'd need a three pole, double throw switch to make it safe. my AC uses a 3 phase semi-hermetic compressor and a small water tower .. it'd take a big honking commercial 3 phase genset to support, that I'm not willing to spend $$$ to install and support. just to gain main AC. got a portable Air conditioner that EU2000 will support. cools one room if it really gets bad. got an 8hp diesel motor driving an alternator into a battery bank. which drives a 3,000 watt sine wave inverter and 1,500 watt rotary sine wave generator. in the process of installing a higher output alternator and possibly solar panels to support battery banks.
