My generator is 120/240 volt (Westinghouse). Can I mix the 120 &amp; 240 volt ckts I select in main panel to connect to? Electrician will do job.

It has been a while since I installed mine but I am pretty sure you can. The Generac box has 240 volts coming into it and I believe each side runs off half of the 240 volts. They tell you to balance your circuits on each side of the box. So if there is not a breaker for 240 volts I assume your electrician can take a breaker from each side of the box to run the 240 volt circuit.

240 works much better. 120 with a plug cord cannot by electrical code be installed by an electrician. .only hard wired. If it came with a plug, he can plug it in. If it didn't, he only can hard wire it. 240 volt is available at the furnace, so he can use that to efficiently wire the humidifier. The 120 option won't boil the water quick enough to run long enough on the heat cycle unless you run the fan continuously after the heat has shut off. This unit works best by far on 240 volt.

I do not understand the nature of the question; With power generation it is important to know ,the country in which this question the is asked because different countries have various differences in power systems, plugs, especially amps/voltage. Since this system of this generator is 4 circuits at 120volt 15/20 amps one circuit is 240 volt/40 amp lock.twist A licensed electrician could best answer any change,conversion of voltage /amps according to Standard for the country of intended use.

Please google images on this connector and wire. I think the wire you are using is for 120 VAC and not 240 VAC. You should have 4 conductor (Black/Black, white, green or Black/Red, white green) 2 phase @ 240V, Neutral and Ground.

You will probably need a adapter, it just comes with a standard 120 V plugin. I am not a expert by any means but you would not be able to plug it into a 240 outlet. Hope this helps.

It really doesn't need to be converted to 240. It works just fine on 110. If you are still wanting to convert you need to get a licensed electrician to do it as you are dealing with water and electricity and the two do not mix.

5000 amps or watts generator? I'm assuming that you mean watts. This unit will require about 20.9 amps of draw on a 240v circuit. If your generator produces 20.9 amps (Watts/voltage), then you can run this.

You would have to do a conversion from 240 to 110. Maybe get a power strip that has the conversion built in.

Yes this will work, the control gives you a total of 4 120v 15a circuits, which you can select from the main panel and 1 240v double pole circuit, or you can remove the bridge and have 2 additional 120v circuits at 20a. You will need a long twist lock 30a power cord to reach from the generator location to this control. A lot of people buy the 30a weatherproof inlet box and istall it outdoors to plug the generator into, this is hard wired to the control, eliminating a cord running into the home through an open window or door. I hope this helps. Chris

You can what you need as long as the wattage in not greater than 3200 watts. Multiple 120 volts X number of amperes of each device to get total wattage demand. For example your refrig requires say 12 amps current so you would be using 1440 watts of power. Four 60 watt light bulbs burning would consume 240 watts, add an electric heater would probably eat up 1500 watts. So, for power outages, you might consider one of twice the wattage. This little generator helped me to power electric chainsaws after several trees were downed. It's a good buy.

This machine has a 110 plug and no manuel switch that goes from 110 to 240. 240 would probably fry the wiring in this small appliance, sorry. I have welded and plasma cut with 240 before. We run on AC current here in the US, not DC. Why don't you try to contact the manufacturer directly and ask if the have another appliance better suited to your market. Sorry, I do not have anymore ideas. Martha

I don't believe you will need to do anything . Just make certain the neutral is disconnected from the power company by means of a positive discinnect to avoid back feed . I purchased the transfer switch , tie in receptical etc from Amazon when I got the generator. Lowes sells the same generator for about $100 bucks more. The transfer switch and load enter was by Reliance.

You certainly can! Just make sure your generator has an adequate wattage output to supply your electrical demand. And most importantly, make sure you hire a licensed electrician.

Yes- I have connected a 240w panel (30V @ 8amps) and also two 135w panels (total 35V @ 3.8amps each) and it works fine. The limiting factor that may cause the confusion is that the maximum output is 240watts (12V @ 20amps) if you are connected to 12V batteries. In my case, I was connected to a 24V battery bank and was dumping about 17amps at 26volts into the batteries when I had all panels connected (the 240W + 2x130w). For the money the controller works well. If you connect to 12V battery; 240w is maximum; if you connect to 24v battery you can get 480w. It doesn't support over 32 volts, so you can't use a 48V battery bank.

Hi, I purchased this switch for my 20kw Generac generator. The switch works great but I cannot comment on how it would work in your case. I would ask a certified electrican. Sorry. Morris

I think there is a typo in the title. It's a 125 watt solar panel. I added a second panel and wired directly into my rig where my generator had been hooked up. I think the 110 you might be seeing are volts?

Shouldn't be a problem, keep in mind that it has a single 120v single phase plug rated at 15a. So you'll to know what your generator output or indoor load will be...
