can it be used on a 8 kw backup generator?

I can not answer that question, I use it to heat the oil pan on my 4 cylender honda car.

It can be used on any oil pan with a relatively flat surface that is 4"x 5," assuming it is not a plastic oil pan. I have put them on engines and transmissions. The biggest problem with using them on any metal surface of anything is finding a large enough and flat enough surface. They can have a slight curved surface, but not much, and not in multiple directions.

Yes it adhere to the crankcase....I am using mine a the crankcase of a 5HP compressor. Need a clean surface relatively flat. Can seal edges with RTV Silicone if you want. You want to get the thermostat plug probably so it only comes on when temps go below freezing.

Go with the Proheat brand, much higher quality and has a grounded three conductor cord and is about the same price. The preheat model is a 154. I have two 10 KW gen sets and that is what I have on them. The cats model burned up rite away and the preheats are still there working three years later!

Yes, as long as you have a relatively flat spot to attach it. It has adhesive on one side and it is somewhat flexible. I put one on the bottom my truck's oil pan and also my wife's SUV. They make starting in below zero weather much easier. Engine blocks, crankcases, and oil pans seem to be the most common places to put them but they will warm anything that you can fasten them to.

iit all depends what size generator you are using. if its 7500 no . it woun't work need 30 amp 2pole breaker

Yes, as long as your amperage is correct. So the 2000 W version will run 8 amps.

Its possible, but definitely not ideal. You can use any panel with a generator depending on the wiring configuration, but this one would be a waste of money if you're not combining it with a Generac generator.

if you are talking the central AC - not a good idea for a 5500 running watts gennie. If it doesn't trip the breaker on the generator in the first place (which is what happens when you exceed the wattage), it's going to suck the gas tank dry in no time. A smallish window unit you may be able to use in a backup capacity. (If the generator is working through a transfer switch, may be it's prudent to make sure the portable AC is not plugged into the same circuit as the other essential appliances, again, not to overload a single circuit)

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

i think it is more up to local code, but i plug it. It only draws 8amps, so i don't see why it would not work.

it might if it would actually start for you and run. Mine has been sitting in the field now for months after getting totally fed up with it. to answer your question about generator capacity in general, you need to simply add up the power usage labels on your equipment, and then compare it to the rated output of the generator. No one can answer your question above because there are many sizes of AC's, fridges, lights, etc. Only you can answer that question

Shouldn't be a problem, keep in mind that it has a single 120v single phase plug rated at 15a. So you'll to know what your generator output or indoor load will be...

Every electrical device is marked for how many watts of power it uses. This is a 900w generator. If your devices use more than 900w, then the answer would be no. If they use less power, then the answer would be yes.

Depending on what else u run with generator , it does not require many amps when running . A 3kw will be fine Maybe a lil surge when u first plug it in

I wouldn't. You are over the amperage load it was designed for. You will get a lot of heat and early failure in your best case scenario.
1695217
Yes as long as the generator has the 30amp outlet. If the generator doesn't have the 30amp outlet you can use an adapter or just use a good 10 or 12 gage cord.

Sure it can. This one is usually larger than needed, but if you want almost a full week of backup this would be fine. Seven amps of capacity is usually more than the factory original. I used it for an electronic lock and was much more than I needed. Cynthia, just make sure you have room for the larger battery. Make sure the plus and minus wires are correct when you install it.

No it does not. You likely have a 100 or 200 amp electric service and the generator has an output of about 30 amps. It should be able to handle your essential circuits though using an 8-10 circuit transfer panel

I never tried it. But if you don't pull the full and continuous output from this power supply, the generator should be able to run this equipment. Chung

I would think you could. You would just have to splice into the backup wires to get the power needed since you don't have a two package like on a pickup truck.
