Whats a good Generator
Hi Grandview,I know I'm must be confusing everyone about this, but I will attempt one more time to try to explain my thoughts on this subject.
Ok now, lets forget everthing I said and let me start all over again, yes i understand that my house has a 200 AMP service and that it is split into 120 and you can add a breaker to give you 220 for electric baseboard heaters airconditioners ect.
Now let me start to explain what I did do, I wanted a 50 amp circuit to plug my RV into in my drive way, so to accomplish this I removed a breaker in my 200 amp service and replaced it with a 50 amp breaker and then I wired in a 10-2 wirening that has 2 hot wires a neutral and a ground, I then ran this long wire out to my trailer and wired in a female plug and that gave me 50 amp at my RV site in our drive way, therefore I was then able to run all my applinces and airconditioner and it works fine.
Now lets skip forward to the generator subject and try to explain my thoughts on this again.
Let us say using the same senario as above, I take the same kind of 10-2 wire that has 4 wires in it and I put a male plug on it and I plug it into the 220 outlet of my generator on the other end of the wire I run it into a breaker box were I have installed a 50 amp breaker and then I run the wires out of that breaker box over to my R.V. and install a female plug there I then plug my Rv male plug into the female plug and I start the generator, when the power comes out of the generator it is feeding into my wires at 220 volts but when it reaches the breaker box with the 50 amp breaker it then breaks down that 220 power into 50 amps and feeds it onto my RV service.
I hope maybe I have made myself more understandable on this subject, sometimes I have difficulty explaing things and may leave out somethings that I take for granted that evryone knows, sorry about that. later Jim
