Advanced Home Wiring, 5th Edition Backup Power - Panel Upgrades - AFCI Protection - "Smart" Thermostats - + More Operating a Manual System During an Outage Plug the generator Plug the generator in at the inlet box. Make sure the other end of the generator’s outlet cord is plugged into the appropriate outlet on the generator (120‑volt or 120/240‑volt AC) and the generator is switched to the appropriate voltage setting. Start the generator Start the generator with the pull cord or electric starter (if your generator has one). Let the generator run for several minutes before flipping the transfer switch. Flip the manual transfer switch Flip the manual transfer switch. Begin turning on loads one at a time by flipping breakers on, starting with the ones that power essential equipment. Do not overload the generator or the switch, and do not run the generator at or near full capacity for more than 30 minutes at a time. How to Measure Voltage To measure voltage using the multimeter To measure voltage using the multimeter, you will have to use the two probes provided with the multimeter and have access to a live terminal or slot as well as a grounded terminal or slot. If your meter has probe holders at the top, snap the probes into them. They are like extra hands. Turn the multimeter to the VAC setting Turn the multimeter to the VAC setting to measure AC voltage that is found in your house. Set the multimeter to VDC if measuring DC voltage, such as in a car or a battery‑fed device. On some multimeters, like the one above, you select “V” for voltage then change between AC and DC with the”FUNC” button. To measure the AC voltage To measure the AC voltage, place one probe on a grounded surface, such as the metallic junction box or the bare ground wire. Place the other probe on the hot screw terminal or into the receptacle slot associated with the hot wire. The voltage readout should be in the range of 120 volts, plus or minus 5 volts (usually 120 volts in a residence in the US).
