i just went to look at the generator's at pepboys, professor is incorrect in his statment about the 3500 watt generator only being a 1200 watt generator, he is correct in stating that it has 10 amp circuit breaker, but it has 2 both are independetaly wired to the 2 recepticales so that is 2400 continues use? i guess the breakers can handle a surge for a certain period of time?
the engines look identical in ever aspect to that of a honda 6.5 hp motor, the only difference is the muffler system which looks to be a small car muffler
the engines are identical between the 3000, and the 3500 same exact motor, the difference is the generator itself, also the 3000 has a guage which show what voltage you are running at,
the 3000, has a switch though between 120 and 240, u can't run both at the same time
both have a 30 amp twist lock but i have a feeling the 3500 series can run both 240 and 120 at the same time, i have no use for that buti am looking at the 3000 model which has a rebate right now for 229 dollars, im strongly considering getting it
the 3500 is 299
both of these prices are good at peboys till 4/2/05
now some one explain me the wattage on this
the 3000
puts out 2.8kw and 3.0kw surge
so thats 2800 watts or 23.3 amps?
if both breakers are rated at 10
how would u be able to get it to use the 23.3 amps?
is this only possible at 240 volts?
then on the 3500 watt
i think it is 3kw and 3.5kw
it says it can put out 25 amps at 120 which is 3000w
how does it do that with 2 indepenedent 10 amp breaker's can someone explain in laymens terms how, any help would be appreciated
it seems this would only be possible with 12.5 amp breakers
i am strongly considering buying the 3000w version though
any help would be appreciated
