Will Hughes Autoformers Voltage Booster and Watch Dog Work on a House with Generator

Question:

Hi, Can I use HUGHES AUTO Autoformers PWD30-EPO-H Power Watchdog Smart Bluetooth Protector in my entire house with a 7100w inverter generator without any problem? Obviously with a Hughes Autoformers Ground Neutral Bonded Plug for Generators I don’t have a RV. Thanks Jp

The Hughes Autoformers Voltage Booster with Surge Protection part # HU24FR and Power Watchdog Surge Protector with Bluetooth and Emergency Shut Down part # HU77FR are designed for trailers but so long as you don't try to pull more than 30 amp through them it would not be an issue to use them on a home with generator. The booster is basically a step up transformer, that will boost voltage 2% all the time, and if/when your voltage is low 113V or lower, it will go to a 10% boost. The watchdog unit is a surge protector with real time data/alerts, etc.

The Hughes Autoformers Ground Neutral Bonded Plug for Generators part # HU33FR would then be needed for the generator.
