Buddy says I should not turn this off overnight
Post Body

So this 3 phase generator powers a Zund cutting machine (basically a giant Cricut). Since I started this job, I’ve been shutting the generator off every night.

My coworker says that if the Zund isn’t on, it’s going to use minimal electricity if I leave the generator running over night and it’s better. He says that the breaker lever (red circle) will wear out over time and eventually break from turning it on and off daily.

So onto my questions..

1)does it actually use minimal electricity if the Zund is off? It sure sounds like it’s using a lot of electricity when it’s on.

2) is there any risk to leaving it running overnight? What if there is a power outage?
