Hummmmmm. Why do people assume that the wattage (capacity) of a given generator means that it will provide that wattage at ALL temperatures, altitudes, and humidities. This is simply not true. Generally, (unless you are turbocharged) as the temperature, elevation, and humidity go up, rated output goes down. That's why some people can get it to work, for some people it works, . . . . sometimes, while, others can't get it to work at all. Everybody isn't in the same location, on the same day, at the same time.
It's true that sometimes the breakers/wires/plugs can't handle the load, but sometimes the genny can't produce enough horsepower to generate the wattage either. (which can cause conductors to overheat)
