Converters and generators
I have a WFCO Ultra III (WF-8955) converter that requires 950W of input. I'm surprised it takes that much power to run, but maybe I'm missing something. Apparantly a 1000W generator won't provide en...

i don't understand why people can't do a no load 2 minute warm up ECON off,
plug in the load, then switch Econ on
its lot easier on the genset, there is little noise in a NO LOAD warm up,
and the genset takes the load so much easier with econ OFF, then throttle down to econ mode
I would agree with not having it in Eco mode when you plug in, but you do want the motor to warm up at lower rpm's, until the tolerances between the piston and bore are taken up by the expansion factor of heat on the piston and lessened piston slap, when the motor is cold. Running a motor faster, at higher rpm, when it is cold and not warmed up is not good, you get more contaminants from blow by in the motor oil. Once warmed up, and you can know it just by putting your hand on the fan exhaust side and feel heat coming off the motor, take it out of Eco mode,plug in, then reinstate eco mode and call it good. Then you can hope your "bulk" charge mode is working, if you have a WFCO 8955, like me.
