Hi everyone,

I have been chipping away at this thread, but I have a questions that someone here might be able to answer. I have an electric chainsaw and tried using it today on my two champions on parallel. The chainsaw caused the two gens to overload. It's a WORX 16-Inch, 3.5 HP, 14.5 Amp Chain Saw. I'm confused, the outlet on the parallel is 30 amp, not sure why the chainsaw is causing the gens to overload?

TIA,

Ryan
