REQUEST FOR INFORMATION :)
Which portable generator models are suitable for a 9280?
By the way - unrelated - WOOT.com had a WESTINGHOUSE inverter generator 2,200 watts offered last night for four hundred dollars, and high change...
The 9280 is not PF corrected, so it needs a 20a circuit to plug into. (see specs)
It should not run on a Honda 2000w, but Fisherguy says his does. It would run on a Honda 3000 which has a 23.3a (AC) spec. There is a Yamaha 2400 that might just do it where a Honda 2000 should not, but I am not familiar with the Yamaha specs or performances.
I use my PowerMax 100 amper, which is PF corrected, that I twiddled the voltage pot to be 14.8v, and it runs on a 15a circuit no sweat.
I would not touch the PD 80 amper 14.4v job with a barge pole, when I can use my 100a PowerMax 14.8v (as set by me) charger instead with less draw on the generator.
