Hi
My uncle has a generator which can be run on gasoline or natural gas. Whenever there is a blackout, my uncle first switches the home electricity supply to be run using the generator using this switch. After that he starts his generator which he runs on natural gas. The consequence of this arrangement is this that as soon as 2kW generator starts (at this stage it hasn't even started properly), it has to supply almost 1.4kW to power the entire home. I think that's a bad idea. I think he should first start the generator and once the generator has started running smoothly, then he should connect the home electricity line to the generator line. This way I believe it would be more easy for the generator to accommodate sudden 'pressure' of the load. Please let me know your opinion. Thank you.
Regards
