Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Power Transfer Switch

I have a small breaker panel hanging off the main panel, which controls power to the critical circuits (freezer, well pump, HT, and a light bulb somewhere ;)). I haven't looked for a while but I think there are interlocked breakers, one going to the main panel and one going to the genny. Haven't actually got around to wiring in a generator or anything yet.

At the Axiom factory there is a ratty old pickup truck chassis & engine sitting outside the shipping door. Ian built a big generator into the chassis, powered by the truck engine, which IIRC auto-starts during a power failure. It's one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
