Does the 6,000 watt capability cover both continuous and surge/startup demands? In other words, Would my surge power demand need to be eblow 6,000 wa

A thermal breaker prevents overload beyond a few seconds. It might be wise to contact Generac to discuss your loads before purchase.

The 6,000 watt rating is for continuous use at 120V. Please not that the surge is not rated on this unit from generac, but never exceeds 10% running wattage. If you should have any further questions please contact me at 800.654.7440 ext 109 and I would be happy to assist with any further questions you may have!

I see that Jake has answered your question. It should also be pointed out that the expected peak wattage is dependent upon the altitude that the unit operates at. Mine is at about 5200 feet and I have tested it to a little over 5000 watts. Not sure of the peak, but generac should be able to provide that.

Bob,Unfortunately I do not have any usage/experience that would help you out. I use this unit as a back-up for a total off-the-grid solar system.The unit functions(ed) well when we tested it through my system and seems to be quality construction but I do not have any long term or constant use to make a solid review.Ron

the whole subject is confusing, it probably depends on the amount of the surge, this device can handle 3300 Jules, I am not sure what that relates to.according to this >>>http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_429706962_1?ie=UTF8&node;=10529927011&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_s=product-alert&pf;_rd_r=19QKWR54MDV4AK3PP4YD&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_p=2033310062&pf;_rd_i=B0000510R4you are covered but not 100%.I think you should call the manufacturer, but you will prob get fuzzy answers.Bottom line, its better than nothing at all

There are 3 hardware options 300W 460W and 600W so also 3 options for Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)I think mine is the first.

Mind didn't work so well, so I switched to a Power Brite 6000w with 12,000 watt surge, it was worth the extra price I did keep my Go Power as a back-up but haven't used it since I replaced it.

You would have to upgrade your breaker and change the outlet powering the device from assuming 15 amp max to 30 amp max. Also the power supply doesn't constantly put out 1600w. The ammount of watts the power supply will put out will depend on the load you have on it. An example would be an Intel Xeon E5-2697v2, 4x GTX 780ti, 8 DDR3 Ram modules, and 6 sata hdds will draw an estimate of 1200w on full load.

Surge wattage of this generator is actually the nameplate at 6,500W. Running wattage is a lessor rating at 5,500W.

Keith, I have installed this 24Plus, and I am very excited about it! It will cause a surge when the unit kicks on, yet it is very short lived, as are most surges. I would assume that you don't trip the power breaker when you use it, and there is nothing to fear if it is set up according to code. It just draws a lot of electricity when it runs! But it makes the best water!

I did not know technical aspect but my electrician does and for my needs this was the unit to purchase. I wanted to run 3 major appliances at once plus lights and tv's. With this unit hooked up to my circuit breaker. I will be able to run everything just not all at once. I am feeling more relaxed and hope I do not need to use it. Hope this helps.

Not sure where you saw that. Surge watts 10,000 Rated would be less. Somewhere around 8500

I think you will be OK. If you do the math, 6X200 = 1200 watts. That's easily handled by wattsup. Be careful to connect the solar cells to the "source" end, also I would use a diode to prevent any chance of backflow, just as a safety feature.

Your question would indicate that you want a UPS, and uninterrupted power supply; no it doesn't do that but it does prevent damage from power surges. Brown out protection requires a UPS.

Sorry for the delayed response. I do not have the means to measure the surge current capability of the product, or the number of joules that the product can provide. You just have to contact the factory for this type of info. I am conservative in powering the equipment, the UPS is used to power TV, DirectTV DVR, PS3 and a network hub. Total power is less than 500W.

I HAVENT used mine.,it wont start my refridgator.,,surge power is 5seconds.,take at 10seconds to start.. if you need surge power,,cant recommend this.

9375 SURGE watts. Maximum running load is 7500 watts. This unit will handle it with ease. See my response to your other question.

it should be fine, its not like you are running a very large system. it would certainly take some of the jump out of your power loss if you are having any.

I have a similar setup but 1000 watt. Doesn't seem to tax it at all so 850 might be enough.

You can use it continuously as long as you are not overloading it. Remember, you have leave a margin for the power surge.
