Anyone use a step up transformer on a 120V generator to plug into 220V generator panel? We have a seperate generator panel wired for a 220V generator that has the basic functions of our house wired through it. The generator panel has a switch to seperate it from the main panel.
Do I have to worry about 1 phase vs 3 phase power? I suspect I do as I think each side of the 120V panel is one leg of the 220 coming into the house.
The main issue is that our well pump is 220V, every thing else of importance is 120V in the house. Maybe the best solution is just use the transformer to run the pump seperate from the panels at all? We have a big hotwater tank to use as water storage.
Thanks,
Ian
