When sizing a Generac PowerPact Air-Cooled Standby Generator for use in higher altitudes, you need to take in to consideration the maximum power decreases about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet above sea level. A larger unit may be needed in higher altitude situations for the proper amount of back up power.

When sizing a unit for backup power purposes, it should be taken into consideration that the maximum power decreases about 3.5% for each 1,000 feet above sea level and will also decrease about 1% for each 6°C (10°F) above 16°C (60°F) ambient temperature, meaning a larger unit may be required to power the items desired during an outage situation.

Generac’s 7kW CorePower automatic standby generator can cover a wide range of household appliances and items, however the exact items it can cover will vary for each application. The 7kW unit is rated for a continuous output of 7,000 watts when utilizing liquid propane, and 6,000 watts when utilizing natural gas, with a rated amperage of 29.2 amps at 240 volts when operating on propane, and 25 Amps at 240 volts when operating on natural gas. We recommend ensuring that all of the items you intend to run will not exceed this rating.
The loads required in a house will vary, and are not determined by the square footage of the home, but are determined by the items you deem necessary to run in an outage situation. To properly determine the correct generator for your needs, we recommend working with your local certified installer or local certified electrician, as they will be able to determine the correct size generator to meet your needs.

The 7kW Core Power automatic standby generator is available only as a pre-packaged item with the 50 amp 8 circuit transfer switch. This generator is only designed for use with the supplied transfer switch. The necessary wiring would be supplied by the installer. If additional circuits are required other than what is available in the switch, or if a pre-wired option is preferred, we would recommend our larger Guardian series generators.

Starting
Can this unit be set up for manuel start at a remote location such as a switch mounted in a cabin and what is used to start it when there is no power.
-
Generac· 13 years ago
The Core Power unit, and other residential automatic standby generators, are designed as a back-up to utility power only. Utilizing the unit in place of utility – prime power – will void the unit’s warranty.
These units do not have a remote start option, as it needs to be started manually by interacting with the control panel on the generator itself as well as the transfer switch. Please follow the procedure in your owner’s manual to perform this function safely.Helpful?
