Onan generators
Is there a significant difference between the 5.5 and 7? Thanks, Preston ❚ Did you see the "Announcement : ★★READ BEFORE POSTING HERE★★"? Forum Posting Help an...

IIf you are referring to Onan RV generators, they are very similiar.
The 7kw runs at a little higher rpm to make enough horsepower to pull 7000watts.so they use different drive belts and gen pulleys. It also has a larger rotor and stator in gen end. The circuit breakers are usually different also, as 5500 normally has a 30a and 20a breaker, where the 7000 has 2 50a c/b's. the engines and all the mounting base and enclosure are same.
