Jim,
What else would I need beside a manual transfer switch to hook up the Winco HPS6000HE to my 200A service to my house.

Jim,
Can the Winco HP6000HE-5500 Watt TriFuel generator be hooked up to a small 2000 sq ft. house and supply it with enough power to run basic appliances and lights with out damaging the unit or the house.

I want to run my hps6000he tri fuel on a small propane btl like the kind for a gas grill...so can i just use the same kind of hose like the kind on gas grills with the normal regulator on it or can i just use a black hose without the regulator on it? Doesn't this generator already have a built in regulator for lp? thank you

Is there some kind of shutoff or check valve of sorts when using propane or NG to prevent leaking if the generator shuts off because of low oil?

Interested in a tri-fuel generator. NG spec 160ft/ hr. I have a half inch line off my main manifold to the backporch for a gas grill. Should that provide adequate flow?
David Distel

I have 200A service. I am considering the winco 5500 watt as back-up for my house. Are components available that would allow me, in a power outage, to trip the main 200A breaker, then all the individual breakers, plug the generator into my main service box, ramp up the generator, then re-set essential circuit breakers, keeping within the 80% max start up load on the generator? If so, What components would I need, beside the obvious?

Will this generator (HPS12000HE) deliver full rated power while operating on Propane?

Seriously considering buying the Winco 5500 Watt TriFuel generator for emergency backup. Does this model have overload protection, or is it necessary? Can you damage your generator by overloading it w/ too many watts? Please explain how this works and if it is something I really should consider in buying a generator. Thanks.
