We have a carriage house, it has a sub-panel breaker, but the power source runs off 1 meter at main house. Will this system work 1 at both places?

I would lean towards it will not work. I had just had my eletrical re-done and I could not make it work in the rooms where I wanted the units to be located. I ended up sending the units back and getting wireless units

Hard to give answer , depends on breaker box set up. AC comes into house as 220 volts then it is split into two 110 volt circuits with breakers on each circuit in the breaker box. Any outlet on the 110 volt circuit will definitely have good results. If the carriage house is on the other 110 volt circuit you may get a hum during reception , changing outlets in the main house or in the carriage house may cure the hum. We found good results with the intercom when plugged into SOLAR 110 volt , our power failure backup, so 60 cycle AC is not critical to the unit operation

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

If you are working off same circuit it will work fine. For example: My intercom speaks from the den downstairs, to my wife's computer room up stairs, in our two story house. The plugs on the other side of the den will not work. Those plugs operate on front porch lighting circuit. Intercom must be on or hooked up to same circuit.This house was built circa 1851 and the 1930s wiring was modernized in 1988.

Yes, that is the way it is suppose to work. You will love it. It saves us many steps to say 2 words or more. Both systems have to be turned on when you call.

No, it will cause the unit to short out, you will need to use a voltage converter

Depends a lot on our house service distance etc. Short answer it can work but you probably need to use a 20A circuit minimum to run safely. For starters the fuse size for a 1HP with 16 full load amp is 20A (16A*1.25). This allows the motor to start with nomnal load without tripping the breaker. The longer the cable the further away you are from your utility transformer the more likely you will trip the fuse as the voltage drops (which increases the amperage)

The way the switch works is if the primary power source fails it will auto switch it and you wouldnt even notice it. If you want to split the loads you have to run seperate wiring.

No. The system has two cords and you need to plug each into a separate line with its own 15 or 20 amp breaker. When I start my saw my vacume starts at the same time. when I shut off the saw my vacume runs for 7 seconds more.

Your garage panel must already have 240 volts. It would be fed by two primary's and one ground wire. You can check with a volt meter to see if it is there over the two primary's. Not knowing any more about the panel would make it difficult to tell by e-mail. If it is breaker type of panel, look for two lines of vertical breakers. That may tell you. Also if you have any breakers that are tied together on one side like a 20 amp or 30 amp breaker will show that also. Hopes this helps. Let me know. mtown0031@aol.com

This truly need a designated circuit. If not you can't use any other devices on that circuit. It will trip breaker. I had one installed upstairs and downstairs a few yrs ago for ac and heat. I plugged it into a outlet with just my computer and cell phone charger on it and it tripped. It maxes out 15 amp circuit. But it work very well keeps 900 sq ft room nice and comfy.

It will work - but be aware of "hyper-voltage'- on a cold, sunny day some panels will put out more than the voltage they're rated for. Of course, the answer is to unplug the panels. As a starter unit, this is OK - but the general advise is to buy the biggest unit you can afford. I bought one of these units and returned it for a 1000 watt 45-90 volt unit. they work nicely, but are pricey.

Sure. You should not have a problem. The unit itself is 2 amps, so you are in business using the powerline universal adapter.

Hi Im not sure, I think possible the only problem is meter monitors energy consumption, and the other function will work correctly, this is only a switch not a converter, I hope I HELP YOU

This is just a standard, portable air conditioner running off 120v. Sounds like you need a professionally installed system like a Mitsubishi Mr. Slim.

I imagine that main switch has 220V 3 phase + a neutral, you need to clamp only the 2 hot wires that feed the 110v to your motorhome.

yes this is a disconnect used when wire from meter socket to panel inside building is more than 24 inch or so ,inside the building before the panel.remenber when you use the disconnect it becomes the main panel and the one in the house become a sub-panel where you have to seperate the nutural wires from the ground wires

Yes. The Amp size of the service does not matter. It just has to have a place to connect to a 2 pole (230/240Volt) breaker. I have one on my 200 amp service and one on the disconnect to the outside A/C unit.
2173688
Yes. I have power from my standby generator coming in to the main bus. I installed two 20 amp circuit breakers for the output.

This is a 120 volt unit. You would have to use a splitter and step down the current.

No. The input is 12 volts only. If you have 24v you should consider a heavier duty unit that will output 220 split phase AC that can power your whole house or small cabin (since no 12v system can do that). Even if you only use one phase, I think it's a better buy for the money, and it's far more versatile, allowing you to hook it directly into you breaker box to "run the meter backwards" during peak charging time and minimal draw.
