Generac: Smart Management Module Installation, 100 AMP

In this video a #generac #generator Smart Management Module load-shedding device is installed. This allows for smaller air-cooled generators to supply loads "only if" the generator is able to start larger electrical loads such as heated Hot Tub. Always contact a Generac Certified contractor for sizing, maintaining, and servicing your Generac standby generator.

I have a 20KW Cummins genny and a Generac SMM on my electric hot water tank. Have had several outages and it it set to wait 5 min. So far 2 years later works well. Excellent video as usual

[@Framdark]

I really appreciate the work you put into your videos have a great Christmas Ron!

[@Nahum17good]

I always enjoy watching your videos. They’re very inspiring. Have a Merry Christmas Ron.

[@electricalron]

Thanks! You too!

[@JMDangler]

Haha @10:37 been there before. The I wish I had more hands moment. SOAB is the technical term for it. Great video, keep trucking Ron 🎉

[@mattschoular8844]

Another nice job. Merry Christmas Ron

[@MC-ig8cm]

Merry Christmas I enjoy your videos! Thank you

[@BigD63]

Ron, once again great video. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Happy new year. Best regards from Chicago

[@mackfisher4487]

Ron Merry Christmas Thank you for all the great videos, and continuing regardless of some of us not being kind in our comments. Ego jumps out in many of them, I suspect that people forget the golden rule.

[@ChristopherKotch]

Merry Christmas and a Happy to New Year to you and yours also...((Its nice to see people still saying that....and not just Happy Holidays!!!))

[@scottdenham848]

Great videos Ron, working with frequency makes sense because the hertz goes down with increasing load (reducing speed below 3600 RPM.) An innovative way to do it. Merry Christmas.

[@kesleicarvalho4062]

Nice job, Ron. Congratulation

[@PaulDziomba]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your subscribers as well!

Coming from a Flyers fan that's awfully nice of you! Haha!

Thank you, David!

Sweet! Merry Christmas to you and your family Ron! Fur babies too ❤️. 🎅🎅🎅

[@jw228w]

thanks for the video.in a residential home does each large load require its own relayer can one relay handle more than one load with different priority settings?thanks John

[@gosolxsolar]

Hmm. Nice video. Just trying to understand. You said the red marked conductors were for loads and black for line. But you have the red ones going to the circuit breaker which i would call line terminals since power comes from those. I would call the hot tub conductors load, but you have those marked black. What am i missing? Also, is it really just 1 circuit per smm?

[@donmclean1220]

Plumbers would call the nut on the flex a “compression nut” I think.

[@sixfour7]

Did you consider AC Soft Starter?

[@electricalron]

No.

[@wirenut9062]

Offset and bonded locknut...no ?

[@dogboy19d31]

So no control wiring needed to the transfer switch?

[@electricalron]

Nope!

[@scotts4125]

Generac had defective 60amp load sheds. If the PCB is green it's one of the problematic ones. The load shed stays open as a row of caps or resistors (I forgot which) burns out. The revised replacement boards are blue. In my case one of my A/C's stopped working. I had power from the breaker but no power at the A/H. It had me stumped until I remembered the load sheds. On utility power your device will not work if the board is fried. I bypassed the contactor and everything worked again. I later found out you can just disconnect the wire going to the board and the contactor will close. It works the opposite of an A/C contactor. It's normally closed pulled in is open. The replacement blue board fixed it.

[@electricalron]

why would you need load sheds on the air handler? Its the condensing units that consume power during start up, not a blower motor on the furnace/ air handler.

[@scotts4125]

@@electricalron That's a great question and I thought the same thing. The generator company did the install. I never checked power to the condenser. My Tstat was out. That's how I noticed there wasn't power. I assumed it was the float switch. It wasn't that. I'm a DIYer so it took me a couple hours to figure out it was the load shed. I couldn't understand how I had power at the breaker and nothing at the A/H. At one point I wondered if a critter ate both lines in the attic but didn't short the wires out. lol I was grasping! They probably hooked it up wrong. I also have a second unit but that load shed is a PSP which from everything I have read is a much better unit.

[@electricalron]

what size generator? @@scotts4125

[@scotts4125]

@@electricalron 22kw House is 3200 sq ft.

[@price9195]

Kohler uses time delay contactor on the "y" thermostat wired in series back to the compressor. Keeps the compressor off until the time delay contactor comes on in the transfer switch. Nice way and the wire is low voltage side of the equipment. Thanks for all the great videos Ron!

[@Californians_go_home]

Anytime I see the word SMART in a system of technology, I assume the government or tech has the ability to lock you out of it.

[@electricalron]

Unless you have your own power plant, the govt has been able to do that since the advent of electricity.

[@Californians_go_home]

Wait until they only give us an ‘allowance’ per month. The county next to me has already banned natural gas installation for new builds, and no wood heat. Seems pretty easy to flip a switch on us now so we can comply. If we want food. It’s also why I keep an older car that doesn’t connect to WiFi . Love the channel Ron!
