This generator provides critical backup power for the entire extended family. Fed from natural gas this has a nearly unlimited run time. We also relocated the main service and installed a new  200 amp panel. A flush mount installation looks very neat and clean.

Probably the worst issue would be if the generator became overloaded and shut down. The next issue...

This generator is mounted on the top of a rock and earth wall to meet needed clearances from the house. We connected a 200 amp SE rated transfer switch to the electrical system. The system is fed by LP gas tanks.

Careful generator placement minimized the impact on landscaping. Planning ahead helped with the placement of the automatic transfer switch adjacent the two electrical panels.  There are also two whole-panel surge arrestors we installed to provide protection to the electrical system.
