efficency and inverter generators
Hi, If I am going to run a Yamaha 3000 Sieb generator, is it more efficient to use it at nearly the maximum output, or is it better to stay at 50% or below? I want the most watts per gallon I ca...

Hi,
I get 7 hours 55 minutes when I'm running mine "flat out". I.E. running the fridge (325 watts), air conditioner (1200 watts), and converter (max 725 watts).
Interesting that a on a 1500 watt load fuel only lasts 8 hours.
That implies I may as well grab as many watts as I can while the air conditioner is running.
I can't run the water heater (1200 watts), the air, the converter and the fridge, at least not in the Rocky Mountains. Mind you, at that time the generator had only 20 hours of run time on it.
I also use the inverter to run the water heater when I'm needing to air condition. Sounds as if that is a good approach.
