Received Generac Model XG10000E on Monday Sep 19, 2011, had received 10' 50 amp power cord, inlet box and Reliance 100 amp indoor transfer switch approximately 1 weeks earlier. Didn't receive generator earlier as it was on backorder.
Electrician came over, looked at electrical configuration of the house (I have 200 amp input from street, with one breaker box in garage which handles in-law apartment and then sends 100 amp service to breaker box in cellar which powers main house). Electrician explained need for 200 amp transfer switch due to 200 amp feed from street. The generator is hooked up temporarily to garage breaker box until either he or I get 200 amp transfer switch.
But, as for the operation of the generator - works great! Powers everything I need during a loss of power - my only regret is that I should have gotten a bigger one and I would have more of a cushion if it were needed.
