How many amps does it use. I need to size it to either fit my inverter or worst case my generator

The machine has a sticker on it that says it's a seven amp. You'd need a little more than that so it doesn't blow a breaker at startup. If you can make it work, it's a good machine, every big as good, or even better than the well known brand, and I've had both. The one flaw on mine, some of the wheels don't want to stay in when you lift it up. This is easily remedied, but yours might be better. Handles water quite well, I use it for water often. You'll want to remove the cloth filter and install the foam one for water use. It will work either way, but the cloth one tends to clog easily when wet. I couldn't be happier with the way mine performs. I use it daily, it always does what it's designed to do. You can also use this one as a blower, as the hose will connect to the output nozzle. Couldn't do that with the um well known brand, it didn't have an actual nozzle for output. Good price, good machine. At first, because of the relatively low price, I thought it couldn't be much good, but I couldn't afford more at the time, so I got it. Pleasantly surprised that it is so good, and so far is holding up quite well.

Hi Larry, sorry dident get back sooner it takes 7 amps hope this works u will love it

100 Watt inverter per manufacturer's spec sheet here http://tinyurl.com/c3dj635

I would go to blue sea's tech department and ask them. Since it is for a 48 volt inverter i would assume the amp draw won't be to high and it should be OKbut if there was some kind of short it could quickly overload the system and cause a fire/damage best to check with the manufacture on this one

I would not load it to the max due to overheating which is what takes out the tranformers so I would use 13 no more than 14. Max watt 60-70.

Not really sure because the one we had before was the same size. Think it is about 3/4 inch. Think it is about 15 amps.

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 do not know enough about generators to provide an answer. It appears to be about the size as some I have seen on small generators. The one I bought was for a snow blower

7' plug, 5' ground, 6.5' electrode lead. I run it on a 20 amp breaker with no problems...so I assume that you could get by with a pretty small generator.

calculate amp x volts for your compter up to 900 watts inverter capacity good luck

The inverter doesn't draw much power. Just depends on what you have plugged into it. I ran a sump pump with it so it's designed to handle a lot

I'm not an expert but I don't think this thing draws hardly any watts or amps etc. I lost my instruction booklet because half of the unit stopped working and MinnKota said it can't be fixed. I kept it to use as a trickle charger for cars, boats etc. I would think almost any generator would make this charger work. It' basically a trickle charger so it's gonna run your generator a long time to charge a battery a battery. You might want a more powerful charger depending on your use to shorten the generator run time..

Your generator will only put out 41 amps at full load no matter how many 30amp receptacles you have. The more items you use in your RV at the same time the more amps you will use, up to 41 amps max.

I used the terminal blocks off the old inverter that I was replacing . You should be able to purchase grounding lugs with 2/0 connections and 1/4" or 5/16" size holes to convert over. I am very happy with the inverter. It is able to do what it says. Just got back from my camp over the weekend that is off grid, just solar 12V. My friends wife ran a blender to make a drink while we had all are lights and a tv with a dish setup all at once. We wanted to see if it would all run and it did . Had others that do not come close. Good luck

I've used mine on job sites but you need a dedicated 29 Amp circuit for it.If your converting power and need an inverter I'd try to find a compressor that dies not draw so many amps cayse it will take quite a bit of start up amps from your power source

Yes, #4 will easily handle a 500W inverter. You could use smaller, 6 or even 8 if you keep the length short. I have this kit on my 1500 watt inverter.

i would not recommend using this with an inverter, you would be creating a fire hazard.

It depends which plug your generator has. The ones I am familiar with have a 4 prong twist lock type 240 plug. I use one that is split into 2 120 plugs, but if you want to use 240v, you just need to see what type of plug is on the generator and the appliance you are using. If you are not sure, ask an electrician to be safe.
