Will Honda 3000 run this?
Hi I have a machine that requires 19amps I believe the Honda 3000 can handle this but I am on the forum for confirmation.
Thank you.

- What machine. Some require higher starting amps and lower running amps. More info needed
- Is that 19 amps at startup or 19 amps running? Is it a resistive load or a motored device?
Answer to your question depends on answers to those questions. - http://www.mytee.com/products/8070-mytee-lite-carpet-extractor/#.WD2O9tQrLGh

For that machine, I would seek out rental shops and have them fire up their generators to see which one can run that machine. Then rent the genny for a day and make sure it suits your needs.- Why not ask the mfg if that 19 amps is starting or running amps load? My guess its running as a 1000 watt heater alone is going to draw 10-12 amps.
- Why not plug it into a Kill a Watt to see what it requires all around!
- The manual states "The 8070 requires a 20A grounded circuit. Please note: GFI outlets may trip before the breaker setting.
SO given that figure we can extrapolate from the manual 115 volts x 20 Amps = 2300 watts max draw - Watts= volts x amps. That's how you confirm it...on paper.
- The eu3000 Honda will handle that load just fine.
