Questions

1–10 of 17 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. Will this unit plug into a 50 amp plug on the side of my house and run my HVAC   I have a 50 amp plug and 50 amp break professionally installed.  

    1 answer

    1. As long as the load of the system does not exceed 18,000 watts, this generator could be used for that application.

      Helpful?

  2. can this run a 220 volt welder that uses a 3 prong plug or do I need a different one.

    1 answer

    1. This generator does not have the proper outlet for a 3-prong plug when using 220 V.

      Helpful?

  3. Can the two 50a outlets be wired parallel and be wired in to a 100amp panel?

    1 answer

    1. This generator isn't designed with a parallel function.

      Helpful?

  4. how much oil does it hold

    1 answer

    1. The oil capacity of the engine is 2.6 quarts.

      Helpful?

  6. Does it use a 12 volt battery to start?

    1 answer

    1. This generator is equipped with a 12V battery for the electric starter.

      Helpful?

  7. Why is this generator not equipped to provide full power from a single receptacle. Multiple outlets will need to be used to access the full power that the generator produces.

    1 answer

    1. Although this generator provides substantial power, the highest-rated receptacle commonly available is 50A. Consequently, the maximum output from a single receptacle is limited to 12 kW (50A × 240V = 12,000W). This limitation prevents the generator’s full power from being accessed through one receptacle.

      Helpful?

  8. Are the generator windings solid copper or copper clad aluminum?

    1 answer

    1. This generator has a 100% copper-wound head.

      Helpful?

  9. Do I need a 50 or 75amp breaker on my house to use with this in my interconnect box?

    1 answer

    1. The main circuit breaker of this generator is 75 amps. Please contact a licensed electrician to install a UL-listed transfer switch if you want to use this generator as a back-up power source for a building.

      Helpful?

  10. does generator have hook/connect lugs to use all 75 amps?

    1 answer

    1. This generator is not equipped to provide full power from a single receptacle. Multiple outlets will need to be used to access the full power that the generator produces.
