Hello all,,, I took the plunge after reading through all 200 plus pages about the chinese gensets. I was interested in the blue Jing Dong Homier unit which is rated at 2800-3000 watts and peak at 4000. I was mainly interested in the rated watts.
I purchased my unit from a E-bay seller called IPS-SPORTS. Ebay # 7617279941. The pictures are identical to the Jing Dong Homier one BUT I received a unit which is made by a different manufacturer. I think it is JDW or something like that but I need to recheck.
I am unhappy with this unit and I have a question for professor or anyone who may know. This is my situation:
I wanted this unit because it was said that the Jing Dong "Homier" units will run full power to both of the only two 110V outlets on this unit without modification. But what I received is not a Jing Dong eventhough the picture in the auction is identical to the Blue JD unit. My unit is almost identical but I have a different breaker on mine from the JD Homier unit. I cannot run one of the heavy load items which I wanted to use with this Genset which is in addition to camping related items.
This is my problem >>>>> The heavy load item is a Thermal Dynamics 110V 20Amp plasma cutter. When I try to use the plasma cutter, the voltage meter on the genset falls to about 90 volts and the plasma cutter will shut off everytime. I contacted the manufacturer of this plasma cutter and they said many people use these plasma cutters on a generator. I was told it should be no problem with my rated 2800watt genset but this is not the case.
***** This is my question to the professor or anyone who may know how to answer this, Is it possible to rewire a 110V two outlet genset so it will supply full power to both of the two only existing outlets on a unit of this type?? This unit only has two 25Amp 110Volt outlets.
Acording to the genset's voltmeter, it seems like I am pulling down the voltage way too much and this is why I am having this problem. I have read on one of the past 206 pages that rewiring the genset for full power will help keep the voltage from pulling down but I do not know where it is located and I do not know if it applies to a genset like mine with the two 110V outlets only.
Sorry for the long post but I am at wits end and I am now on the brink of one of the biggest camping holidays of the year. Thank-you soo very much for any help as it means alot. Icecutter
