[QUOTE="Geoff Doane, post: 58315, member: 1155"] Re: School is in Without knowing any other facts, I'm going to guess that it was a 4-wire hookup to the generator, and somebody mixed up one of the hots and the neutral. One side still had 120V (just hot and neutral reversed, which contrary to Emil's first post is not a problem by itself), but the other was looking at two hots, or about 240V. Unfortunately, my guess is not based solely on theory. There's some painful personal experience in there too.:(~:-(~:sad: GTD After listening to the video, I see that's not the suspected cause of the failure. I guess I'll have to wait and hear the full story. [/QUOTE]
