I need help w/ wiring this to a Half Switched Outlet-hooked everything up but must be doing something wrong as it continues to blow the breaker.

I did the same thing and my problem was the red & black wires were backwards and switched off the charger. Any chance the white & black wires are reversed in your home wiring?

there should be a tab to break off to separate the outlets. youtube separating a duplex plug

Wire colors at a switch can be deceiving. Often at a switch, a white wire is used in the hot portion of the circuit. Don`t hesitate to call an electrician if you can't figure it out by drawing A circuit diagram and using a volt meter.

I suggest that you buy another unit then use a two way-plug to power both units. Or, contact the mfg. to see if splicing one into the other won't damage your units.

That's going to be directly related to the load your device is going to pull. make sure that you have enough capacity at the breaker and the GF I outlet

If not a wiring issue, look into the compressor start capacitor. There usually is a separate one for the blower so that would start but not the compressor. Other than those no other easy fixes.

I used 2 110 breakers that are next to each other a black wire in each one, white wire to ground. You can use a dedicated 240 breaker if you wantbut 2 110 breakers next to each other will do the same thing. I called the seller and that the way he said to hook it up.Jay Trumbojt61@hotmail.com

Ours hasn't done this either. I would agree with the previous answer that it is either the outlet or the machine is broken. Sorry.

Seems like something is mis-wired. The transfer switches should never allow power to go either from the generator to the incoming power line, or vice-versa. The switches operate closed-open-closed, never connected to both sides at the same time. This is a dangerous condition.A spark could also occur if the generator was running when the cord was unplugged, but you say it was OFF.

Sounds like an issue with the outlet running warm. Normal use my plug is room temp.

Check the polarity of the connections, also check the load,too much will blow the fuse. It's to protect the inverter.If all else fails call the manufacturer.

check your cables, try to isolate the source by switching them out. i find a power conditioner works a lot better than a multi-plug. if you can't find it, i would consider return them for replacement.good luck

Are you connect to 20 amp breaker? Than you use 12/2. 15 amp 14/2. You need the /2 for power and the /3 for high & low ( like a 3 way switch)

Try flipping the fan over or reversing the positive and negative wires (leave the ground wire as is). Hope this may work...

I never had that kind of problem, but I never used the 240volt outlet the way you described. I can't really answer your question. Hope you find the answer.

It sounds like it is shorting out, check all the wires to make sure the coating is not have a hole to exposes the bear wire. You can try 1 size larger fuse, if that don't work I think you have a defective jack !

I don't have an answer for you. My guess is your unit is "fried". I had two friends who had surge protector power strips, not Sidesocket, catch fire. I'm glad they were home!

It has to be hardwired. If you hard wire it to a regular 110 volt line, it will blow out. You need to use a transformer. Hope this helps.

You will need a meter to troubleshoot the wiring, sounds like there is a chance you need to attach black to blue and black to red instead of the way you have it. BUT FIRST - depress the reset switch in the center of the front panel with a paper clip. I had the same problem and it worked for me!
