Thanks so much! I've been trying to figure out what I did wrong for a few days. This video saved the day! I have a newer Jackery... which has more than just a hole for the ground.... so I just bought a male plug and connected the ground and neutral.... this worked like a charm! 1:521:55
Why didn’t you just wire the ez generator switch to have an input of a floating neutral? That would tied your issue. Most generators don’t have a bond ground.
I wonder if that Jackery 880 would work for my storage shed. All that I need it for is to charge my power tool batteries, three lights and a maybe a stereo.
So the Jackery doesn't have a floating neutral? Cause my Ecoflow, while it has a hole for neutral, really has nothing in there, so the bond didn't work.
I noticed you are using the EZ Generator switch. Do you know if the other videos that experienced the same problem also used the same switch? I just purchased a Vtoman power station and was going to install an old EZ Generator switch sitting on my workshop shelf. The power station I’m told has a floating neutral and may cause a problem.
How long will the Jackery run the furnace? Can you just plug the furnace directly into the Jackery (with the adapter) without using the generator adapter? Thanks.
You will need some sort of generator adapter (Easy Generator Switch) because the furnace will be directly hard wired to the house. I had not ran the furnace on the Jackery 1000 exclusively for the entire battery, but I did do a video on running the furnace on the solar system. In that test I had an average of about 187Wh per hour to run the furnace during pretty cold conditions. A Jackery with 1000Wh would run right at 5 hours. If this is your plan then it would be good to also have some solar and a fairly small gas generator as a backup to charge the Jackery and extend its run time Incase of an extended outage.
The Jackery test was just a proof of concept. I never did run the Jackery long term on the Furnace. I did do a video that I ran my furnace on a larger system for 5 days. The link to that video will be below. That test showed that the Furnace avg. 4490Wh a day. If we divide that by 24 we get 187Wh per hour. The Jackery 1000 has 1005Wh so it would last possibly 5hr 20min maybe. It really depends what time of day it is. If its over night that it would last longer because the furnace isn't cycling as much. Hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/RsNn2GUgKUc/v-deo.html

genius... appreciate your work!
great information thanks for sharing and have a great weekend

It would be perfect for what you had listed.
HOWdy T-C-W, ...

The other Videos used straight extension cords to the furnace. The EZ Switch just switches the power. Nothing special inside of it.
