I have a B&S 7000 generator (8750 surge wattage) on a transfer. Would the UPS condition the power going to the pellet stove?
For the past 10 yrs now in the event of an extended power failure I been running my 3kw generator for my oil furnace which provides heat and hot water plus lights and keep my refrigerator/freezer cold. I cycle it on for an hour or so and off for 3-6+ hrs depending on the weather.
I have a simple manual transfer setup that is safe and works well.
I figured why run a marginally capable pellet stove full time off a generator when I can heat the whole house up much much quicker with the furnace simply by running a generator a few hours a day. .
Generator
3 145 watt solar panels(soon to be 5)/Morningstar MPPT controller/6 golf cart batteries/Xantrex pure sine wave inverter
wood/coal cook stove
Kerosene heater/Dietz lanterns/shotgun/various rifles/handguns/water filtration system/food storage
(I guess that makes me a terrorist)![]()
Generator.Has the majority of this group gone with a power generator for back-up power during a blackout, or is going with a battery system the cat's meow?
Just doing my homework and looking for a consensus.
Thanks,
Steven
I believe that selecting the fuel type determines the clean cycle frequency.they should of made a setting that allowed us to select an auto clean time depending on what pellet we are using
