Will Honda 3000 run this?

[1kennyOG]

Hi I have a machine that requires 19amps I believe the Honda 3000 can handle this but I am on the forum for confirmation.
Thank you.

Now that I can answer.. The Kill-a-watt is a 15 amp device, though I have put 19 amps through one for about 1 minute (or less) there is an internal fuse that you are putting at risk, and replacements are 20 bucks (A new Kill-a-watt).

That said there is a rumor of a 30 amp version, but I've never seen it.

I was wondering about that after I posted, but figured someone would post a correction.

Good to know on the fuse! 😉

I confirmed on paper it would handle it fine.
The 2 machines will be purchased on line, so I can't plug in what I don't have.
I figured maybe somebody here had something they were running that was around 20A that your Honda was handling with no issues.

thanks

The eu3000 Honda will handle that load just fine.

Watts= volts x amps. That's how you confirm it...on paper.

The manual states "The 8070 requires a 20A grounded circuit. Please note: GFI outlets may trip before the breaker setting.
SO given that figure we can extrapolate from the manual 115 volts x 20 Amps = 2300 watts max draw

Why not ask the mfg if that 19 amps is starting or running amps load? My guess its running as a 1000 watt heater alone is going to draw 10-12 amps.

For that machine, I would seek out rental shops and have them fire up their generators to see which one can run that machine. Then rent the genny for a day and make sure it suits your needs.

Is that 19 amps at startup or 19 amps running? Is it a resistive load or a motored device?

Answer to your question depends on answers to those questions.

What machine. Some require higher starting amps and lower running amps. More info needed
