I’ve been away from this site for about 2 years. During that time I’ve purchased a Chinese Genset, put 200hrs of usage and had no problems.
The other day a seller of Japanese Genset told a friend that his units were superior to other similar manufacturers of Japanese Genset. He used the following argument: that his units had a higher Max Peak Wattage versus Rated Wattage.
He said that his units were better suited for RV AC units and other motors that have a high initial wattage demand on start-up.
I have to admit that I did not expect this approach. He also mentioned that they had back up data on these facts which of course he could not produce.
My questions are:
Does the his comments make any sense? Why or why not?
In other words, could there be such differences between Max versus Rated? If so, how and if not, why?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks
