We as the manufacturer test our units for a total harmonic distortion level that either falls short of, or exceeds 5%. Considering this, we do not provide specific total harmonic distortion ratings, as any rating exceeding 5% is not compatible with most sensitive electronics or appliances.

Due to the fact that ext cord model number PC5010-14 is not a part manufactured by Generac, we cannot comment on its compatibility with a Generac brand product, as we only test our units with other Generac parts or products.

The maximum wattage that is potentially available from a particular outlet will be determined by the size breaker protecting that outlet, as well as the voltage rating of the outlet. The 50 amp 120/240 volt outlet on the XG10000E is protected by a 42 amp breaker. At the rated 240 volt output, the potentially available wattage from that outlet would not be able to exceed 10,080 watts. Please note that the XG10000E is rated for a rated continuous output of 10,000 watts, and this rating is when utilizing any and all receptacles. In the event the full wattage is received from the 50 amp outlet, any items plugged into any other outlet can overload the generator. Damage to the unit due to overloading is not warrantable.

The XG10000E, is an electric start generator. The battery used for the electric start is included with the unit upon purchase.

Generac does not test the sound level of its portable generators, as there is no industry standard for conducting such a test, and the results could be misleading. However, the sound level of our portable generators is comparable with many on the market today.
