i have a 8000 watt troybuilt gen can I use this if not ran at full capacity?

It doesn't matter how many watts are available on the input, what matters is the load you have connected to the output. As long as the load attached to each circuit does not exceed the rating (of that circuit, i.e. 10amps, 20amps, whatever the rating is) there will be no problem. When you are switched to the mains side, it is capable of supplying much more than 8Kw and the power will be passing through the same circuits.

I have a 7500 watt generac and have run at full capacity. This is an awesome switch and should work for you
2060771
The switch is rated for 7500 watts. Although your generator is rated at 8000 watts, that is probably it's maximum rated output and it's running capacity would normally be considerably less. The max capacity is usually only achieved during the initial startup of certain electrical equipment, which when once running, the wattage drops off. It is important to determine the wattage required for those electrical circuits which you wish to energize, and then balance that demand across both sides of the transfer switch, while also being careful not to exceed the 7500 watts maximum. In the short of it, this is an excellent switch, easily installed, and should meet your needs with no problem.

I don't know for certain. I would contact the manufacturer to find out for sure as you would not want someone to inadvertently power up too many things and cause a fire in your house due to overloading the circuits.

I really dont know, i hired a licensed electrician to do the installation. But i have a honda 8000 watt diesel genetator and i have runned it several times to 80% of full capaciry and so far i havant have any problems with neither the mts or the generator. Im los angeles california, if you are in the area, i really recommend this guys, sebastian is the main guy, phone 323 491 4077.. Very profesional and clean work, and best of all for a very good price..

I'm not a pro... but the rated output of a generator is not a constant, rather it is the maximum potential of usable power output. Therefore the potential is not a limiting factor associated with circuit switches. The limits are the ampere load of each circuit referenced clearly by the individual circuit breaker capacities.

do not exceed 6500 watt and balance your circuits. you can turn off and on any of up to 10 circuits to stay in your safe zone,dick

Yes, provided that the rest of the system (i.e. motherboard, CPU, other peripherals) are within the 850 Watt limit supported by this power supply.

there are numerous PSU calculators on the internet where you can input the hardware you have. however, 400 watt is a little on the small side. Also, see the manufacturers recommended specs.

You shouldn't, but it depends on what else is on your machine. I have 3 hard drives and added this card, which only uses 110 watts, and it's working fine with a 500w PS. That's one reason I selected this card because of it's low power consumption.
1944358
Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

I'm sure it'll do fine. It's rated 1600W, so your 800W should be no prob. Powers my 1/2HP sump pump fine, which I think is much less efficient than yours drawing a bit more than 800W from source.
682472
Shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't exceed the maximum wattage the unit can support
1104691
Yes, but make sure you have a quality power supply. Id say at least 800 watts from a good branded psu with good amps to a single 12 volt rail.
2080240
Yes, 500 watts should be more than enough. Make sure that you use a decent brand name PSU.As mentioned below, if you are running a massive overclock on the CPU or try to overclock the GPU then you might run into some issues. On stock clocks and with a normal build you should be absolutely fine.

Sorry, I did not try it in that application, I would look at their website to determine what the max wattage is to ensure you are not exceeding that
1770147
Yes you can as long as you don't have a CPU with a very high TDP like one of the AMD 220w monsters, (I used it very successfully with a 280w Dell PSU).
1446085
Almost definitely. I was running it on a 500w PSU but I also have a lower power consumption from my CPU to help with that. Unless you are running it with a AMD 9590 or something like that, 650w PSU should work great.
2044521
No it would not work. You barely have enough for the memory, cpu, hard drive and cd drive to run with a 220 watt PSU.
1596328
Based on their description, yes you can. But mine burned out with only 1200W. So in reality, you can not.
1078846
I don't se why not, Just remember it has a 500W limit, you may have to add the power draw of all the components.
273454
You're PSU must have 75 watts free to have this card run. Example, if your computer and its components run at 400 watts and you have a 500 watt PSU you could add this card and have 25 watts left over.
2162609
Tower pc correct? My only concern is powersupply needs 800 watts or more and if it will fit.
