Emergency Rural Power Without a Transfer Switch

June 26, 2024. Power went out again for several hours. It seems to happen monthly, just so Idaho Power can let you know THEY are in control.
Until we get our transfer switch and lockout setup, this is what we do.

maintenance ensues

It is a good machine. Since we have it, I want to keep it maintained and have it available for emergencies with a proper power transfer switch.
