Probably selected essentials to switch on the mail panel. You can get another panel with dedicated circuits already pre determined. You don’t need every circuit in the house running in an emergency situation. So just fridge, a few lights and fans would be enough. His higher wattage generator will run those circuits plus his preferred living area air conditioning.

@@athletikonaol it is possible to power your entire electrical panel with a small 120 V power source like a gas generator or a solar generator like the EcoFlow. You do have to keep in mind that the limitation is based off of whatever that power source can provide. If you just wanna run the refrigerator and a few lights that should be fine, but don’t expect it to run anythingsubstantial. You have to turn off all the 240 V breakers when you do this to avoid damaging appliances in the home and your power source.

This was helpful for my solar system

@@silenthill5794 wow. Happy Halloween to you! 😂 this wasn’t pushed on me, I decided to install this myself to make it safe, code compliant and easy to use. Could I have skipped the interlock, sure but for the low price of $200 I decided to add it. Have a great day!

Valid correction. Thanks!

Thankfully i’m far enough that I won’t ever see storm surge like that and I’m well elevated. A coastal home in a good zone is a different story.

@@djones2564 that is the next level for sure.

@@D-NICE79 why? Nothing wrong with emt

​@@nicksreviewsmiamiRun Rigid

Cost me about $300 and I did it myself.

@@dfigueroa788 I did this myself and it cost me about $350. I think because I had to change the cover of the electrical panel with the built-in interlock function. The cost will totally depend on what your electrical set up is like at your house and of course if you hire someone. You could expect to probably pay around $1000, maybe less

@@nicksreviewsmiamiYou mentioned installing it yourself. Is it safe to assume you’re a licensed electrician or is this a DIY project?

@@lizbethdiehl318 no I am not an electrician, but I have enough experience and knowledge to do this kind of work myself. If you don’t have this experience, you should absolutely hire.

@@datchulo1085 yes that exterior panel is where my main feed comes in and feeds my interior panel with 200 amp service.

@@nicksreviewsmiami thanks for replying I just did this to mine yesterday . I have a 150amp panel . The whole house is powered .

@@reese9276 glad it was useful. I’m charging it up ahead of the next hurricane.

@@Cirav okay troll. Thanks for sharing

@@nicksreviewsmiami You are welcome.

Interlocks are required for any permanent inlet installation. You can install a permanent outlet installation without the interlock switch, but you would have to make a suicide cord for generator use. Without the interlock switch it would be illegal to put your home up for sale.

@@howardradford1985 That is incorrect, stop spreading misinformation and stop calling them suicide cords.

@Cirav How about widowmaker cords. It is illegal to sell a home with an inlet box to a power panel that already has a power source unless it has a mechanism that only allows one source to be on at a time. You can check with a realtor or a lawyer, both will require you to remove the inlet or install a transfer switch or interlock before the sell can go through.

@@MountainManGuy thank you!

@@biketrailsandwaggingtails that’s good information to read. Yes unfortunately the Delta 2 is limited to 1800 running watts. It can deal with a surge of about 2400 W and maybe more for a very short amount of time but if you’re trying to run something that requires 3500 W continuous, you will probably need the Delta pro. Thanks for watching!

@@nicksreviewsmiami I also recently discovered that that Android mobile app (I'm currently running version 5.6.0.22) doesn't read the battery capacity correctly on the additional battery. For instance, the mobile app reads the capacity on my Delta 2 Max Smart Battery as a 1048 wh instead of 2048 wh. I've raised this issue to the Ecoflow Support Team as possible bug in the firmware or mobile app and advised them to replicate the issue in their lab environment. It took nearly 2 weeks of back and forth emails but they finally confirmed that it's an issue with the mobile app and that it doesn't affect the actual capacity of the additional battery.

@@teflondaprince I did it myself but any licensed electrician should I be able to help you with an interlock switch.

@@nicksreviewsmiami man I’ll pay you to do mine. Workers out here are the worst

@@ericwilliams952 agreed. Thanks for the comment.

@@user-hd6wi812 this was a very inexpensive project and it allows me to feed power into my house from most portable power sources during an outage.

These are exponentially cheaper than the setup you mentioned. I have an actual transfer switch and 6500watt portable generator, all in for under $1100

@@007alztruli it was a sunny day and I have a lot of windows

@@condor5635 sorry for the mistake in terminology. It can run my 4ton central air/c without issues. This generator has a 7,500 watt run rating and 13,500 surge rating.

I have a video where I made breakfast with it. Check out my channel. Thanks for the comment!

Not today. Some days.

But amount of salt 😮dangerous

7,500 running watts with 13,500 surge watts. It’s an older model but it’s enough to run my 4 ton A/C

@nicksreviewsmiami ok, thanks I'm thinking about a generator for the whole house,

@@nicksreviewsmiami50 amp ? Or 30?

@@Amac_22 50amp

Glad you found it useful. This was one of a few videos that I decided to film during the COVID lockdown for my dealer network. It was fun and tasty. The Hestan is still my favorite gas grill if you can afford it.

It’s hard to know what everyone wants. I was demonstrating it’s capabilities in a simple way that could be understood. I am not sponsored or affiliated with any of the products and was hoping to show how this device is useful to me. Thanks for stopping by.

@@nicksreviewsmiami All I can say is this for the critic, "If you can do better, make a video to post"!!!!

Have you seen my other video where I made breakfast with it? This video was simply a test to see if it would power my induction burner and allow me to boil water. It was not intended to demonstrate how it can cook a meal on this video. Are you familiar with these ecoflow devices? The benefit is that they can fully recharge in 1 hour, not overnight.

Where are your videos? Did you make an account just to write comments and attempt to tell others how to use products?

This is exactly the type of review i was looking for. Quick and to the point. Max drain of the battery without all the fluff. Great video.

@@nicksreviewsmiami in real life no one wants to use it for just 30 mins to boil water and then have to recharge it. Solar does not recharge it fast and if you are near a plug, you would use a plug. Using it to boil water from a high voltage induction device is not a good use case in utilization. That would be a very inefficient way to use it. Yes I have one but I would not have bought it based on what you are demonstrating.

@@nicksreviewsmiami if you can’t take feedback then turn off your comments.

That light is plugged into the power strip that the ecoflow is running. I have all of the appliances in this cabinet going into a 20amp power strip. The cabinet light is also plugged into this power strip.

Wow! I humbly accept your feedback and appreciate the kind words.

Agreed. This was much better than Ecoflow's commercials. This is real world what can I do with it. Let me show you. @@nicksreviewsmiami

In sure he doesn't use them all at the same time

It’s a 20amp power strip rated for heavy duty use.

Thanks for the feedback

You can it's a power strip rated at 20 amps. 120v times 20amps. That's 2400 watts. No problem bro

Gone now 🙂
