Any of you folks have one of those DUH moments? I had to move my emergency generator from it's old location to it's now new location. I took pictures of the wiring so I would put it back together when I'm ready. Well, the move went well and reconnecting the electrical went just as well. I made sure to compare my work against the pictures I took and everything matched. Fast forward to Saturday; We decided to fire her up. She started right up but that's all, it wouldn't provide power to the house. It was running on no-load only. So, I start digging into this thing thinking the controller may have fried, burned wires somewhere, etc... But, lets back up a bit. I work at an institution of higher learning, an Ivy League Graduate School. One of the first things we teach people is how to troubleshoot a problem. We always tell them to work from the outside in. 90% of the time the darned unit isn't plugged in. If after that it still doesn't work, check the circuit breaker. After that we mention fuses. Back to the gen set. On Sunday after church I mentioned to one of my younger brothers the problem I ran into with it. He asked if I checked for fuses. I just stared at him and that's when the DUH moment struck. I went home and opened the transfer panel first. I found 2 fuses between the generator and heavy duty relays that transfer power from the utility to generator. I shutdown power to the transfer panel and removed the fuses. Both fuses were OPEN. I made a quick trip to the orange box store and they had exactly what I needed. Got home, changed them and WALLA, it works! I guess I should practice what I preach to the new students. Talk of feeling stupid. It's always check the little things first and then work your way in. Oh well, live and learn. Roger
