I'd love to see: a control for a standby generator that when electricity fails it starts the genny for a couple hours then shuts off for about 6 hours then on for another 2 hours then repeats.
It seems everybody here in hurricane country now has a natural gas standby generator. Well when you evacuate and the electricity goes out and you can't get back for a few days to a week do you really want your generator running continuously for all that time? I've seen some cheaper air cooled genny's shut down or even burn up due to being run so long. Not to mention the cost of all that natural gas.
I've tried contacting a few of the manufacturers and they aren't interested in doing this.
So any electrical gurus want to design this?
