How to connect a gas generator to the network at home?
Hello. I want to connect the Vepr gas generator single-phase 4.2 kW to the house by connecting after the switch with a 2x2.5 wire, where 3 wires are powered. I can’t understand which wires to take voltage from and does phase and zero matter here?
Hello! Firstly, 2x2.5 is too close, I recommend using 4 mm², especially if the line is long enough. Where 3 wires are powered, I did not understand. After the knife switch? Or do you have 3 wires coming out of the generator? And what does it mean "from which wires to take voltage"? After all, do you have a socket on the generator? Here is the plug in it, 1 pin - ground, two - output voltage. Describe the question in more detail, please.
There is no phase and zero in the gas generator. Just 220V between two wires. Phase and zero appears when one of the wires is grounded. If interested, read the article about isolated neutral on our website. But at the same time, it is impossible to supply voltage from the generator with the switch turned on.
