hi,
can anybody explain how i connect a generator to a house.
we have bought a house (in the sticks)that is not connected the the national grid.power had prev been supplied by a generator that got nicked we have now bought a replacement generator.not too sure of the size as it was sold to me as a 13kva (thats whats on the engine)but ive looked in the cover and the part that connects to the engine says 10kva which is still big enough for our needs.it has a yanmar 3TNE68 water cooled diesel generator with 3x240v (blue)outlet sockets
3x110v (yellow)outlet socketsmy problem is how would i connect this to the feed cable for the house.
all the armoured cable is still there (connected to a fuse box in the house)from the last generator but they took what looks like a distribution box of the generator shed wall leaving the other end of the cable hanging loose.
we will be building a new shed to house the generator
i have photos of the generator and the old room if these would help but i dont know how to post them on this site.
any help would be greatly appreiated
chears rob
