The switch turns on the light !
Other than that it does nothing.

Silly, really... but the light is there to indicate that the generator is producing power.

The Chinese could save a extra few cents by leaving the switch out of the circuit. I mean, come on, if the light is on the generator's producing power......right?  :P

I'd rather have a meter any day.......................

Funny, I was just asking about that switch and light in the generator section of the forum.

If the last few posts apply to my ST5, too, mine also has a meter so I REALLY don't get what the switch and light are for.

I am now wiring up the bits and pieces , I have the conduit from the St3 sitting in a trench in the concrete floor , when I poured the concrete I made a trench for the conduit . The conduit goes up the wall to the box with the circuit breakers and the RCD . I also have a 15 Amp  RCD/breaker  on the St3 itself . I am using the grounded neutral system .

Not been doing much on the roid recently Mike

Hi

An update . I have wired up the 240 V  power board and its all finished apart from the earth stake in the ground . I have RCD's and current breakers in the circuit .

Ive been buying more stuff  :o  I got an old Cincinnati MI horizontal milling machine, it's a beauty  :laugh:  it came out of a school - it has power feeds on all axis and a anti backlash nut on the table X axis . Its from around 1946 . .

Also got a Churchill NB toolroom  surface grinder , an oldie but its very heavy and strong  .  Mike
