    Thinking of buying a genny, can someone recommend one thats not too big (or expencive) that would be usefull around the house and farm if in the case of a powercut i.e boil a kettle, appliences, run lights,pumps, tools ect.

    Dont know much about electrics:rolleyes:, would i have to have lower voltaged equipement to use in the case of such an outage?

    Relations in the US have a system that cuts in automatic in their basement but i think a electrician set it up for them....

    cheers, as always cc30.............

    To be able to size it you need to know what your demand is. Does the farm have a three phase supply?
