Purchased and modified and installed Harbor freight 5500 Watt generator.Still have one problem: Iota auto transfer switch not detecting Generator So 1 more problem before starting on Fridge again Frank
Harbor freight Predator made in China looks identical to the Honda That squirells got into control box ate insulation and shorted stator destroyed Voltage Regulator Repairs exceded replacement Frank
The Iota transfer switch not sensing generator output Turned out to be A screw on wireing connector in the neutral wire from the generator , that was installed in 2010 installation lost continuity . Coincidence that created very difficult diagnosis due to looking at a miswired generator connector or a faulty transfer switch . When it was a totally separate prob that would have shown up without the intrusion of the little buggers (squirells) All is well Generator handles A/C with no problem So Hopeing that Generator holds up due to all the modifications it would be a real pain to return for warranty Mainly had to mount onto Honda Frame as Predator frame would not fit in compartment ! Frank
Sounds like a win!
Great news!
