hello all,
we will soon have a modular delivered to our rural area and want to have a
liquid-cooled, propane, automatically kicks on, one-phase, standby electric
generator sufficient (prob ~30kw) to power the whole house without
restriction (200amp service- incl well pump; electric range; frige &
freezer; TVs; computers; geothermal heating/cooling/water heater equipment;
etc).
all the electricians the construction supervisor has contacted have all
quoted $5,000+ labor to hook up our supplied materials- supposedly to wire
the individual circuits to be powered.
isn't there a way to have an automatic switch in line after the meter and
before the house's panel- thereby bypassing the labor to install individual
circuits? if so- what brand of switch, would i need to get an even bigger
generator to avoid any overloading...
thanks in advance,
kurt
