Generator Info
What is the quietest 3000 generator on the market and the best for the dollar? Looking to parallel 2 of them together.

Q
Two 2000W Inverters in parallel implies 4000W combined. The 73500i manual says maximum of 25 amps, which is 3,000W at 120 volts. Why does it not provide 30 amps as the 30 amp receptacle implies?

Each generator can sustain 14.16A by itself which is 1,700 watts. Combined, the generators can sustain 28.32A or 3,398 watts. There is no circuit breaker on the parallel kit to limit this output to 25A. Our earlier 2,000 watt inverters had a rating of 1,600 watts and I believe they simply rounded the number for simplification. Since you can also parallel a 1,600 and a 1,700 running watt inverter generator, I believe this further complicated this and it was left alone. The parallel kit will support the full combined wattage of two inverter generators. There is no wattage loss when running in parallel. Sorry for any confusion
Note they advertise the 2000w as 1600 running. You can't parallel the older one with a new one because the kit won't fit.
They claim the two in parallel will run a 15K RV air conditioner ok.
That business with the 30a receptacle seems weird to me. A Honda 3000 is rated at 2800VA at 23.3a. But it has a circuit breaker.
