693 of 710 customers out of power in our town.

New setup is working great.

Genny is powering entire house, minus water heater, dryer and double ovens.

Could probably do the water heater if need be.

But would likely would challenge the 50A circuit unless I exchange some load to the 120v outlets on the generator (e.g., freezers in garage).

Generator is floating neutral, so there shouldn’t be an issue with ground loop. The house has a new service with proper ground.
