Official Urge Caution with Generators During Power Outages

With many in snow-slammed areas without power, New Hampshire officials are urging caution for those that are running their own generators, reports WMUR:

The biggest risk is with the portable ones, people put them too close, or inside the building which we don't recommend. It should be 5 to 10 feet away from the building, and point the exhaust away from any openings inside the building, doors, windows, and vents that vent inside," said Jim Saulnier, with the Audburn fire department.

It's important to follow all safety procedures when using a generator, including ventilation and electric hookups as specified in the owner's manual.

This is a new Kipor Sinemaster IG6000 (was called KGE6000Ti) Digital Inverter generator with electric start. It has dual voltage - 120V and 240V output on the 50AMP RV (on large motorhomes and 5th wheel) receptacle. This generator looks like the smalle... (More...)

"Bought this for emergency use. It weighs about the same (240lbs) as the comparable 6000 watt Honda inverter but costs much less and provides the same quiet usable power. After mounting the small wheels, adding oil and gas (uses regular) and charging the battery (electric start only) it started right up. Unlike cheaper generators, it produces a pure sinewave at exactly 60Hz and powers even sensitive devices such as computers, audio-video electronics and even our forced-air furnace, which is very picky about clean power. The $700 Colman Powermate we had before would not power the forced-air furnace. The Powermate had a large muffler and was relatively quiet but the Kipor is much quieter, using an even bigger muffler and padded enclosure. In addition, the Powermate needed to run at 3600 RPM all the time to produce the needed 60Hz output. The Kipor, like the Honda, runs only as fast as needed to provide the electrical power demanded. One problem with the unit we received was that the neutral and hot outputs on the 120V sockets were reversed (240V socket was OK). Even with this reversal everything ran but the forced-air furnace (this is how we discovered the problem). It took about 20 minutes to take off the side cover, unscrew the wires to the sockets and screw them back correctly. Now it powers everything without a hiccup." - Michael M.

"During the ice storm this year, we were without power for 9 days, our generator worked great to make things a little more comfortable, but there were extension cords all over the place. After reading reviews and searching the hardware stores I decided to make the investment in a transfer switch. If you are comfortable opening your breaker panel, installation went easy, took about 2 hours, I installed it in the wall with the optional trim piece, our box is in the garage. After it was done I gave it a test drive, it was so nice to just have one cable from the outside to the garage. I liked this product over some of the others because you can get different breakers at any hardware store if you need to add circuits, this box is expandable. All in all, very happy with this product and you can't beat Amazon's price and fast shipping." - D.S.

"My adult son and I recently purchased large gas generators and when attaching them to our homes the electrician recommended this product. We ordered thru Amazon and the items arrived sooner then expected. my transfer switch was installed and worked perfectly, my sons had a circuit switch stuck open on his and notified the company and they made it good." - Michael F.
