Turn off the breaker that feeds the shed, turn the main back on and see
if your lights work. If so, shut off and unplug the generator then turn
the breaker that feeds the shed back on.
When Wilma hit in Florida I had a much bigger contractor's generator
that had a 240 volt split phase output. I wired it into the power panel
(illegally) on the load side of the main breaker and just made damn sure
I didn't forget and turn the main back on. It worked fine except it
burned so much gas I would have run out of my supply in a matter of a
couple of days. Only used it for about an hour or less a day to run the
well pump and the water heater so I could take showers. Other than
that, I used the little Honda for the refrig, couple of lights, the TV
and Direct TV receiver.
My 5.5 KW burned about 0.5-0.6 GPH gasoline and more like 8 on propane
running pretty much 24 hours a day at close to full load. Once I
started running propane, it never turned off. I did trip the breaker
now and then when the loads ganged up on me. ;-)
8 what?
What is involved in converting to propane?
