Hey all, we've been using our GMC Onan to power our house on the (increasingly frequent) occasions when
the power company turns off our power to supposedly prevent fires during windy dry conditions.
The Onan has been doing a great job of running the fridge, freezer, etc, but we can't run things
like a 220volt pressure system, water heater, or well pump with it.
I'm guessing that's because both hot legs of output are running in the same phase.

Does this make sense? Is there a way to output 220 volt power with our Onans, or is it 110 only?

thanks much,
Karen
