What one or Teco large appliance could be plugged into this generator on a full time basis?

Hi Christian,Thank you for your inquiry!Due to the fact that this unit only has a 60 Amp Hour Battery, most large devices cannot be plugged into it continuously. Is there a specific item that you wanted to power on a continuous basis?Best regards,Earthtech Products

This is NOT a generator, but rather a storage battery pack that is recharged by either regular utility power or generator power or solar. I leave it plugged in and use the 40 watt solar panel to supplement on sunny days. My refrigerator, a TV, and my pellet stove are always plugged into it. Last summer I also ran a 10,000BTU air conditioner, and in power outages I have run a dishwasher, a microwave oven, and coffee maker.

I had an old 1700 watt generator during sandy. It powered my fridge and a bunch of other small things. The 3000 watt inverter isn't overkill tho. It won't draw more power than it needs. Battery needs to be good and charged as much as needed. Car alternator at least. Cables need to be thick for 3000 watts.

Any good 3000w inverter can handle fridge and freezer, this one will do for sure

as long as you have 100 amp . It needs to be plugged in with no other appliances plugged in or not into a multi strip

It is too big to run alone, do not connect directly to battery, you will cook it eventually. You HAVE to get a good voltage regulator. Do not use the POS one they throw in, get a good one. Use a marine 12 volt deep cycle, ( more storage for cloudy days), Costco has them. Last at least 5-6 years.

The wattage of this machine is 400. You should have a generator that powers at least that wattage, preferably a little bigger. Then it just depends on whether or not you are running other things on that generator at the same time.

It is a dual fuel generator, will run on LP or Natural gas , you have to pick one or the other upon installation, you cannot just switch back and forth.Bruce N. "Bud" Dowdy-Master Electrician Dowdy Electric, Co. An authorized KOHLER & Generac Dealer. 317 24POWER

With this wattage you could do a couple of appliances. Like you could keep a fridge and/or freezer going. But you definitely need a bigger unit if you are looking to hook to the house for backup power.

Any generator that is at least 1000 watts will operate this unit. We suggest getting on a little bigger incase you want to run something else.

If the entire house goes out you first must trip the main breaker to prevent back. There is ywo sockets with twenty amp it should freg, heater,light. Direct off drop cords. I recommend. This generator

This is a 25 amp generator for 48 volt Ie total about 1250 watts total if it was doing bulk charge It should preferably have generator with more wattage than that.1500 to 2000 should suffice

yotomcan run the Westinghouse machine with premium gas but I advise you to useregular especially if the generator has to run more than 3 to 5 days in a hurricane it just makes economical sense to use regular gas

I'm not sure about household components, I would think 2-3. I use mine to run tools for construction. You need to look at watts the generator puts out vs. amps of products you want to run. Search for a chart to see on that. I would go larger than smaller if looking to run a house. I would think a 5000 watt or larger to run refrigerator & AC

yes... during an outage this generator powered a microwave,refrigerator,lights and coffee pot. plus other things.

They make kit to hook the generator into your power system for your house. If you are not experienced, then have an electrician do it. You could cause a lot of damage if you tried it yourself.

Look at how much wattage each appliance takes (should be printed on a plate in amps or watts. watts is amps times volts) If it falls within the max. Watage the generator can handle you should be fine. keep in mind that modern fridge and freezer compressors can only handle a 5% voltage diferance, that is why I'm looking for a device to smooth out the surge and ebb of this generator. Not sure if this generator is within that tolerance.

For this question call tech support at HotMax.I had an interesting conversation with them about using power from a regular generator and the answer was don't use that power because of frequency fluctuations that will mess up the electronics inside the unit.
