RE: Home Made Electricity

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

It would definately work out more expensive, the point is you use it when the "proper" stuff is unavailable.

 

To run a normal house you would need at least a 20kVA generator which would be terribly expensive, large and noisy. you also have to think about how to store large amounts of diesel.

 

A 3 or 4kVA generator on the other hand is much more affordable and will keep the essential and desireable stuff running

 

Essential - PC, Home Highway, AV Kit

Desireable - Freezer, Fridge, Heating     :-)

 

To do that you need a seperate consumer unit for the essential equipment and a changeover switch to change from MAINS to GENERATOR.

I have often thought about a generator. How does the cost per kw/h work out ? Presumably its a diesel ?

Well..it's the middle of the summer but N.Ireland Electricity have black us
out again (a clap of thunder and 5000 home are without power).  Nine hours
and counting.

At least we can make our own electric now with the generator we got after
last winters 26 hour outage.
