Can you confirm the bonded neutrals setup for a Bluetti AC300. It has a floating neutral - but can also be plugged into the home outlet for optional grid charging (not sure if grid charging matters). Second question - if I have two of these EZ units would I wire the same way - or is one connection of the source neutrals sufficient and others would use a switched neutral? Thanks

So this is used when the generator is bonded neutral?

Thanks for this video. This is great but.... I've been told that we must never have 2 ground either as it may cause a ground loop. So the ground off the generator is carried to the transfer switch, which is also tied to the ground of the main panel. But even if the transfer switch does disconnect the neutral, the neutral could still be connected through the generator via the ground. My new generator is bounded. So I'm not sure what to do now with this ground issue.

What about your Main Switch for Back Feed? This Switch, does it ONLY run the Furnace, or can u run multiple accesories ie., Tvs, Well Pump, Fridge, lights, Ceiling fans?

If my generator is floating neutral, and not grounded, is this set up OK?

Kevin. I am trying to order your product but can’t get you by phone or when I bring up the sight to order. It drops my order

Excellent video

Do you make a full breaker box switch that will power the full breaker box in a power outage??

So does this Gen switch only power one(1) circuit out of the whole box??

I have my EmerGen transfer switch wired to my panel box. White & Green wires from the transfer switch were bonded to the bus bars. My transfer switch has a outlet on it that I'd to use using the EZ Generator switch to run my furnace. Would I still need to remove the white wire within the EZ Generator switch? Thank you

So do I need to unbond my generator when power my house

What would happen if you used a generator that was opposite of the bonded or floating.

I ask, can I set this switch to do the job with the central air. The central air is mid-size, and how do I go about it. I hope this switch works with other units other than furnaces.

Your demonstration is great except I have a forth wire in my circuit to the furnace. So apparently the furnace and some other load share the neutral wire in this circuit. The hot for the furnace is on a single 15amp breaker and the other hot I’m not sure of. Will your ez generator switch work on this circuit somehow?

Very clearly explained thanks!

I like that hookup good job

250.34 Portable and Vehicle-Mounted Generators. (A) Portable Generators. The frame of a portable generator shall not be required to be connected to a grounding electrode as defined in 250.52 for a system supplied by the generator under the following conditions: (1) The generator supplies only equipment mounted on the generator, cord-and-plug-connected equipment through receptacles mounted on the generator, or both, and (2) The normally non-current-carrying metal parts of equipment and the equipment grounding conductor terminals of the receptacles are connected to the generator frame.

Hi! Did you miss-speak at time index 2mins 48s ? After the conversion, is this transfer switch ready for a bonded or floating neutral generator? I assumed we were modifying the product to work with a bonded neutral (which is less common) generator. Or is your product coming out of the box ready for bonded neutral generators? Thank you.

I have a Honda EU2200i generator with the floating neutral. Will i need to purchase a neutral ground bonding plug to run my gas furnace during a power outage?

Worth noting that here in Canada, depending on province, the connections in the panel with wire nuts is not allowed. They would have to be made in the 4 inch jb. Great video. Are these csa approved

If normal line power is on and the EZ switch is left in the on position will the exposed terminals be energized?

People just can't seem to grasp the concept, that even if every part is UL/CE approved it still has to be tested and approved as a system. Good on you for doing it the right way.

Ever consider making a 2 or 3 circuit transfer switch?

I try to purchase American-made products. I am weary of chinesium garbage. I am a vet also and if i can help my brothers, I'll jump at the chance. Nice product, thanks guys!

Hey Kevin, quick question does that EZ Generator Switch works or compatible with Storm Responder 8250 Generator? I have basic knowledge about electricals because I'm a Mechanical Engr. so do you think I can DIY this myself? Secondly, what's gonna happen when the generator is on and then suddenly the main power backs on? Do I have to manually switch off the EZ Switch? or it will automatically off itself. And where can I grab this EZ Switch Generator? Thanks a lot!👍

Is this 30 or 50?

What I need to know is where does the single white wire coming from the EZ switch then go? Do you just wire-nut the line white, the load white and the EZ switch white together? That seems odd because the EZ switch is designed to isolate the generator wiring completely from grid power through the selector switch (Normal, off, Generator). Having the whites all together is throwing me off…

Would you please remake this video, and include the final installation into a furnace, at the furnace? Thanks!

The last home I looked at where they wanted to heat their home off of a generator during power outage, the gas furnance had a male cord end plugged into a standard recepticle. I told them to just use an extension cord direct from the generator. Since most home owners panels are recessed in a sheetrock wall, I find it easier to install a recepticle next to the furnace and put a male cord on the unit.

I have your product and am currently (pun intended) installing it onto my oil burner. I am planning on using an Ecoflow Delta Pro to power the furnace. The outlets on the Ecoflow have floating neutrals (both legs are hot at about 60v), so I assume I'm to configure your switch for floating neutral? For those who have an Ecoflow Delta Pro, please be aware that when plugged into AC for charging, the outlets become BONDED NUETRALS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this shouldn't be an issue using this switch because if you're charging the battery from AC, then you've got power coming into the house and your EZ transfer switch is off anyway. But in other situations, you can create a double bond scenario.

Do you have a video for gas furnaces that have condensate pumps ?

COLOR ME STUPID but why not complete the installation so we can see EXACTLY how it's done? When you provide me the link to THAT video I'll order 2 of these EZ Generator switches

It would be great if this would accommodate a 50 Amp breaker instead of just 15... still a good choice for a small home

9' 0 clock position of WHAT. PUT the continuity tester on 9 o clock of WHAT???? GOOD GRIEF

I've got 2 Emergency kill switches, one at the burner and one at the top of the stairs to the basement. Does this change anything?

What size generator do you recommend for the average heating system?? Ty

I have had my generator switch from back in the day when you had to select floating or bonded neutral on checkout. It is a great product, I am so tired of copy cat chinese junk on Amazon. This product is worth the extra cost.

I wish you made a cover for the outlet when not in use to keep the creepy crawlers out, mine is going into my garage and I’m going to extend it to the furnace.

RTFM folks- depending on if your generator has a unbounded ( floating ) neutral you will need to make slight alteration, process is quick and easy, just know what type of generator you have.

I own one. well made. Good stuff!

There is a hell of a lot more to it than that, it depends what you’re doing with that switch and you actually may need to reconfigure your generator to use on a single application like a furnace more than the outlet switch.

10 years ago and I finally find it. Exactly what I need and have wanted for my boiler.

Good stuff! Looks like a nice product. Thought i would mention to check with local codes. Its against code in my area to use the combination panel as a junction point. I would need to relocate the furnace romex cable to square junction box and make connections behind the EZ Gen switch. This leaves only the line side wires and ground to terminate inside the panel with no connections.

Sure would like to see a cover over that switch where extension cord plugs in just for dust, lint and aesthetics when not in use.

I know it’s not to code, but what does it hurt if you have neutral bonded to ground at the generator and in the panel?

These are an excellent furnace backup power switch. We highly recommend them to our customers who buy a CarGenerator to power their furnace for 50-70 hours from their vehicle. great product Kevin ! we even reference your product in our user guide as a recommended solution .

Both my Generator and this switch are on their way, , what just happened here? I had a line, load and gen neutral and now I only have one? I have a older 86 efficiency boiler so hopefully I don’t run into any issues with the standard wiring that it comes with. I’m an Stationary engineer in HVAC and high pressure steam but electricity is not something I just wanna guess with

A single plug in. Dual breaker out would be nice. Form the furnace and fridge.

I think it is too complicated messing with an existing box. I installed my generator transfer switch inline with the feed to the furnace. I added a depth extension to the generator switch box for more room. Using conduit I added a small box on both sides of the transfer switch; one to make the connections of two wires labeled "Utility" from the home circuit breaker & the other to make connections of two wires labeled "Load" to the furnace. All boxes have ground wires connected to the bottom of box. Since my cold water line is also grounded - I added a ground strap to the conduit for extra safety. I am just going to hook up generator to.the furnace if needed. Unless I have a schematic - I am not going to mess with wires in the furnace or existing box with multiple wires.
