Well, you just can't plug into a wall socket. The best thing to do is rig up 
a hook-up as the lines come into the main fusebox, otherwise the suit would 
keep blowing the fuses and/or start a fire.
<<2) If I build a size 2 generator with the GENERATOR  power how does it work 
with my suit
   a) 2 pts per minutes
  b) a point per minute equal to the drain per hour
  c) something else
 
C. As mentioned in the description/background, if all it took was a junker 
generator of size 2 to power a suit, everyone would be running around with 
these devices. A frame size 5 generator provides 2 pts per minute. As you can 
see, most Steel Knights really don't want to run around with a refrigerator 
on their backs.

Since I'm not really John Hopler, and I'm not the expert at the junker rules, 
I'll toss these junker specific questions his way to answer. He's pretty busy 
finishing up LC, though, so if any of you junkmeisters on the list would like 
to answer, feel free. My first answer to the AI question is that the suit, 
not being a piece of junker tech, can't have an AI work it, but I don't have 
my books on hand.
