Hello,
I bought a 26kw B&S generator. It sits roughly about 200ft from soon to be house. I will be using propane so that will generate 26kw. I was thinking of using 0G up 200ft maybe further, Rated at 600v would that be safe it's generating 108amp. Asl do I use a 100 amp box or higher. And last question since it is a generator do I have to ground it like normal houses on the grid or just rund a grounding line from the generator to the box? I did provide the specs.
I thank you all who help. We are building from ground up and building our own log home and totally 100% off grid.
