which model number power wise, it would be nice if some with excel or power point experience would take the various model#'s and store names ,power ratings,hp, etc and make up a cross reference
my 'convert anything' software says 1 hp = 746 watts, i have also seen the number 745.7 referenced somewhere
there is a power factor ratio when using electric motors to produce output horsepower / work
like 1000 watts input to get 746 watts of work ..the more efficient the power factor the more usable work from the motor
I remember this being discussed in a thread about refrigerators
i'm sure this applies to generator HEADS a well..
the more efficient the head the more watts output available per gas engine hp being used
if mfg A says its a 4.5 hp engine and 2800 watts, and mfg B says its a 5.5 hp 3500 watts, and mfg C says 3500 run & 4500 surge and 6.5 hp,
it's a matter of efficiency and A & B are cutting it close and claiming more efficiency and C see is allowing extra Hp allowing for more loss and may last longer ..
