Hey Travis,

Having a hard time following this, maybe if you spoke more about what
these loads and such consist of.  That said, I don't see why you can't
bring the gen-set into AC2.  Just don't have all the home loads on the
AC outputs of the Trace(s).  Also, if you want to do some type of
transferring, consider using the AUX relays in the Trace rather than an
Emeter set-up.  If you'd care to give more info on what is running where
in this home (maybe off list), it may help me to follow the logic and I
may be able to offer some other thoughts -- Kurt Nelson
