Hello to All, I am hoping to obtain some advise on which is a better alternative to protect equipment when powered by auxillary generator. I have burnt-out reading and researching far too many google searches.
My situation is as such; as the winter season is rapidly approaching, the possibility of power outages increases. My HT is not elaborate or high end, but nevertheless expensive. I live way up in the mountains in a winter resort area. When the power goes out it could last for hours/or several days. I have an auxillary generator as a stand-by resourse. I have wired my house with a seperate panel box specificaly to be powered by the generator, that allows us to utilize the basic convieniences. We are able to shower, flush, have coffee, & use the microwave. I wish to include our HT in this mix, but don't want to damage it with dirty, or bad power from the generator. It really would be nice and relaxing to lay back and watch movies by the fire, & candle light when there is four feet of snow on the ground and the rest of my world is paralized.
My thoughts at this time is to install a whole house unit wether it is a surge protector, or power conditioner, or both??? Based on all the information I have gathered, I do think it is prudent to install indivual plug-in surge protectors for the equipment.
Any & all suggustions, recomendations, or comments would be greatly appriciated. Ofcoarse, the best quality at an affordable price is essiential.
Thanks in advance for all replies.......... BOB
