Hmmm, I'm now lost as a goose in fog. After spending some time in the shop with my Champion C46540, I now question if it's the ideal genset for back up power or a contractor type needing to operate several pcs tools.. It has two 15a reset push button type breakers and one single 20a 120 volt receptacle. At one time I plugged a power strip into the single outlet and operated a 1500w heater and a 200w power drill but that is the most wattage I've tried. The gensets with the duplex wired from seperate windings ( like the 98706 from HF) gives, I guess, apx 1500w on each end of the duplex. How would I get that much from my Champion C46540?
After looking into this question of perhaps the need to rewire some older gensets, it does appear improvement was called for. My Champion C46540 is deficient with only one single 120v 20a receptacle. And the Rv 30a.
Some other gensets covered on this thread recently have problems one way or another. This points toward the idea we still need improvement in some on the market gensets. Some of the older models are being cleared out making room for the improvements needed.
