  1. Using Hybrid Generator to power the house

    Powerboost has 2.4 kW or 7.2 kW. Both have a bonded neutral. It's the 2.0 kW non-Powerboost that apparently has the floating neutral. (I can't confirm the non-Powerboost floating neutral - taking that on faith from the post earlier in this thread.)
  2. Using Hybrid Generator to power the house

    Here's a link to a comment where I detailed how I got my 2.4 kW Powerboost to run some circuits in my house. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/installed-transfer-switch-in-house.1267/post-143306 I thought I'd add a link in this thread in case someone is trying to determine if this is...
  3. Installed Transfer Switch in House

    Here's an update on getting my 2.4kW Powerboost connected to a Transfer Switch to power some (small) circuits in the house (fridge, and a few other things). 1) From Powerboost to Transfer Switch I used a 5-15P to L14-30 connector to go from the normal household outlet in the truck bed to a...

    You're exactly right. That's where mine is different from yours. Unfortunately, I don't have a place to plug in the orange wire, like you do. :( Time to call Generac. Thanks for the reference photo.

  6. Installed Transfer Switch in House

    For those with the Generac 6852, do you have a loose/disconnected orange wire at the top of the device (see photo)? The other side appears to connect to what I think is the motor/servo that swaps the unit back and forth from UTILITY to GENERATOR. When I press my front panel switch, nothing...
  7. Installed Transfer Switch in House

    From your helpful description, I found two useful YouTube references that I thought I'd pass along. The following video shows a guy that installed the Generac 6853 the way you describe that it should NOT be installed (running all the Generac white wires straight to the main panel neutral bar)...
  8. Installed Transfer Switch in House

    I have the Powerboost with 2.4kw standard 110/120 plugs, and I've got a little regret in not shelling out for the 7.2kw upgrade. Obviously, I can't pull 220/240v from the 110/120 plugs. No argument there. But...I do have 2400 watts from the truck, and I have a couple of small circuits I'd...
