Unless your system is different than mine the self test does not throw
the mains transfer switch and actually power the home. It just runs the
generator. 73

But I have a question My Generac does a self test each 2nd
Wednesday at 1pm ( runs foe 5-10 mins) I'm sure your
generator does a self test.
During this self test you can check you can check for RFI. .....

I have a 20kw Generac (propane) generator right outside of my shack next
to the house. I have never detected any RFI from it at all. My antennas
are not near the house though.

This report corresponds to other reports we have received about
Generac. They have responded to the few complaints about RFI and have
indicated to HQ staff that they want to be known as the "RF quiet" system,
so they are looking to do as much as they can.

Subject: [RFI] Generac 16KW Standby Generator - NO RFI!
Hi all, I had a Generac 16KW generator installed early this year. The
generator is specced to power my entire house load. Luckily/unluckily
haven't had a chance to really try it out. Until today.
Today, we've been without utility power for a few hours, and I noticed
absolutely no interference to my HF radios! I didn't check VHF
unfortunately, I wanted to take advantage of the lack of neighborhood
HF
noise!
Utility power literally just came back on, and I could see the noise
floor
jump 2 s units. I'm sure a lot of this is installation, radio, and
antenna
specific, but in my case, I'm pleased.
Happy to answer questions about the unit, but my verdict is, in my
installation, it seems quiet.
