What is this for? If I'm just using my generator to run simple appliances during short power outages do I really need it? I never used my generator but have it to run my sump pump just in case of dire emergencies. My sump pump is on a regular outlet....

There is a 30 amp outlet on the generator, and with this adapter, you can use 3 regular 110 outlet extension cords with it, by plugging it in.

Your question is confusing since this is intended to be a power source. You can plug a regular plug into the 4 outlets on the generator.

It can run for a long time. If you are using it as a backup generator and your power is out for days - no problem. It could also be used for power if you are totally off the grid. Think cabin in the woods. We have a large propane tank for heating the house. Our generator is hooked up to it for its' fuel supply. Makes running the generator when power is out easy.

If you are in a dry state and need an occasional pump I would use a traditional sump pump run on electricity. The purpose of the water run liberty pumps is to back up a traditional sump pump if the electricity is out due to a storm. They are more expensive than an electric sump pump and I do not know what kind of useful life you will get out of one if it is used as a primary pump. To answer your question, yes it can be. But if it were me I would use the electric as my primary and if you need a back up then use the Liberty.

You do not want to run it with a generator because it is worthless! It is the most worthless item I have ever purchased. You are bettert 0ff operating a fan. It does not perform well.

I have installed over 30 units and never used the ground connection. This goes to earth ground which is never near by the sump pumps. The fuses on the unit is to protect the electronics in the unit. Not sure what fuse you are referring. Sump pumps should be on their own circuit breaker. I never install a fuse from the battery to the unit. That is a direct connection. Good Luck, Rick

Yes. The rating on the receptacle or the breaker on its branch, whichever is less. By the way, this is unsafe and in some places illegal, because it will feed power back out to the street, exposing line workers to risk of shock if you leave the main breaker on. And when the the power comes back on it can damage your generator. And do you really want a cord with male plugs on each end???

Why would it matter??? You wouldn't want to run "both" power sources. I suppose you could have gen running under full load (microwave heating bowl of water or something) you stay with gen and have someone else plug in shore power. Wait up to 30 seconds to see if the sound of the gen changes (un-loads)

I do not know for sure, but I would not recommend it.The sump pump has an electric motor that will have a high starting surge. That surge may exceed the capacity of the unit for a second or so. Although the UPS made be OK after this happens, I suspect the UPS would be damaged and have a shorter life than expected.Perhaps you should purchase a battery backup sump pump system. These run from AC normally but will run from the battery when normal power is lost. Depending on the system, the cost can be about the same as this UPS and, I think, a better solution.

This serves as a battery backup in case the electricity goes out. It is not used as a battery by itself. It is like any UPS Battery Backup-only for emergencies. It will not last long. Besides how will you recharge it if there is no electricity.

This is a great generator for home use during emergency power out conditions. However, this is not a generator for camping . It is way too loud for that. If you're looking for a quiet generator for camping, I believe the class of generator is called an "inverting"' style. Look it up .

I use it with my generator, it kept blowing my GFI breaker, I put a regular 110 outlet in and it runs my trailer with both AC, I have used it at a few parks without a GFI breaker outlet, so if you have. GFI breaker in the circuit you need to replace it with a regular 110v outlet and it should work just fine. Hope this helps??

this is what I bought this for. I have a generator so I can plug it in to one of my outlets that have power via the generator. This idem does have a cord.

Be aware that this is not a generator it's a power source. This power source will run out of power if you don't recharge it.

I wouldn't suggest this. There will probably be water around and this device isn't made for anything wet nor the surges your pump will produce. You can also purchase a sump pump cheaper. Home Depot carries batteries $200 and up that would work better for your purpose.

I never thought of using it during power outage but it would be using the 110 outlet on your generator also do not know if you can use a extention cord if needed never read any of that info in the manual that came with it I really like mine Jim

I am not sure what that question means. I have a large house with an addition but I have to shut off the electric heat in the addition. I have a 200amp breaker box with a 100 amp linked service in my addition. One of my water heaters is gas but the other is electric. I shut off the electric unit while using the generator. You have to be careful as some devices use strange amounts of electricity while starting up. I would not run my washer and dryer during this type of event. This unit has plenty of power but you a good electrician to tell you if you can run business as usual with this unit. I purchased this unit because it has a 50amp plug. Most units only have 30amp plugs. good luck. I am not sure what that question means. I have a large house with an addition but I have to shut off the electric heat in the addition.
