It can vary from supplier and depends on the capacity. Some of the smaller units I’ve quoted have been 52ish weeks, so not bad. But I did get a quote back from a particular manufacturer last year with a lead time of 134 weeks. How do you even feasibly plan for that? I see that as essentially “no bid...

[quote]Breaker can be bad with without tripping.[/quote] I can back this up as well. After they age and go through enough heat cycles they can become very finicky. Breakers are very cheap so I’d just swap it out for a new one. It’s likely a 15A breaker but I’d just match the new breaker with ...

LEDs usually base their output rating on a “wattage equivalent”. So if you buy a higher output LED based on a 100W incandescent, it’ll have similar output but drastically lower power use. The chart another poster put up explains it well. In summary, LEDs are very versatile and efficient. ...

[quote]My first quote was $26,000.[/quote] An air cooled unit would be half of this or less. I would strongly consider it unless you lose power regularly and for long durations, necessitating the need for a liquid cooled unit. [quote]Westinghouse Portable 20kw Installing proper panel with tra...

[quote]Or does it depend on the size and if I’m overloading it?[/quote] This. Your home panel has thermal magnetic breakers, meaning they protect against short circuits or overloads. For example, if you put 25A on a 20A breaker it will trip due to overload but not instantaneously. If you short a ...

This was the test that sold me: https://youtu.be/TWuKvnCq1js?si=AM_UvyriXQI1MyqH I was an avid Mobil 1 EP user. I still like Mobil but this one is about the same price and has better additives. So I made the switch. ...

I went Generac for universality of parts. Virtually everyone and their mother can service a Generac and likely has spare parts. With liquid cooled engines you are going to have a larger footprint and more maintenance for the cooling system. It’s good if you have the coin because it’ll be quieter...

[quote]Transformers blowing [/quote] Transformers don't blow. If they do they go up in flames. Fuses mounted up on poles are designed to blow under a fault. A loud pop and sparks would accompany it....
