What is the THD for this generator @ full load?

Here is what I found on the web... Clean Power <7% THD. Not sure if it's @ full load or not.

Sorry to say....never used yet..only tested when bought it.....Only used for power outages..

I have often used this generator to run various power tools. It's one of the reasons I purchased it. I use it at our camp for maintenance and construction.

Yew, it will work okay with an 8500 watt generator. It has to be shut off manually but there is no danger of overloading.

It is about 80A at 240V and 160A at 120V. It is not large enough to handle our whole house if the wrong combination of loads are on at power loss. So, if we are home the generator would not be able to start. We would shed large loads (water heater, oven, dryer, heat pump, etc) and start manually. When we leave town we turn off the water heater and one heat pump so the load is not too large. Have only had a few power losses and no problems so for.

not all at once, pleae remember this is a standy by generator that WILL NOT run the whole house all at once. if you wish to run everything all at once, you need to get a generator output amps the same size as your house main.

I don't have an exact time. So far I've been experimenting with various speeds to see what works best. It just seemed that when I ran it on the top speed it was eating up power. I'll try a more rigorous test during the week and try to post it here.

I 've got a 6500 wt. generator and this works fine. That's what is recomended for your generator.

if no electric output, check the zero ground fault protection, i have another genny that will not generate until 1) speed is up and 2) zgfp is working. Turns out I need a new zpfg for that one.

It is at a constant rpm that does not vary with electric draw nor is there a way to manually adjust. I used this generator with Hurricane Sandy outage and was very pleased. With low to moderate power draw was getting over 12 hours between gas refilling.

hydro idles at 14c never goes over 40c at full load I am using it for my 8150 bulldozer

I have the same watt gen. It works great, has run at least 5 straight days without issue

A company out of California ships them. They are call "duropower". It's a great generator that still starts at 1 or 2 pulls

Not being 'smart' but best to call an electrician to be sure. I had a whole house power meter which strapped onto the outdoor meter. It would give a good indication of what my average wattage was under a variety of conditions - A/C active (3kW), blower for furnace (500W), electric dryer (4.5kW), ... but what it didn't measure was the surge current like when a motor starts (which is typically 2x of the standing wattage). Exactly what your surge current requirements are depends on what devices you have installed, and when they will startup. If you can stagger when devices start up you can reduce the surge current requirement. You can also manually throttle up the generator as there is a lag between when a motor starts and the motor spinning up to match load (which results in voltage droop). And lastly you have to figure out how to wire it into your house ... maybe you only want a few circuits light up instead of the whole house (like your 500W plasma TV for example).

I suggest going to the Generac website. If your answer isn't there for certain, give them a call.

Sorry, I can not answer that question as we have never used it with a generator.

Really should have hit the "I don't know" button. I would assume that functionality would be dependent on what other demands are made on the generator at the same time. Asking a Generac engineer might be a better course of action. You may encounter situations similar to folks who vacation in RVs deal with where you need to turn off certain things to allow for running others. Hope I've helped

It should have a governor adjustment screw. My 5500 watt version of this generator does, and after adjusting it, I got it to run at 3600 RPM exactly, which translates into 59.9 to 60.1 Hz ALL THE TIME, with ANY normal load.Here's where the screw is: imageupper.com/i/?S0200010100011I13896654381023200To see the frequency, get a meter that measures frequency, such as a kill-a-watt power consumption meter.
