I would like to run the kitchen(coffee maker) from my generator and the rest of my 5th wheel from the invertor. I have solar charger. Could I do this?

I am not clear on the question. What is a fifth wheel (is this to do with a recreational vehicle or tractor head)?The 30 amp unit can easily power a coffee maker (1000 watts) and other loads up to 3000 watts at 110 volts A/C.I am taking it to mean you have a stand by generator as well as an inverter providing your A/C power.

Nothing in your question makes any sense.... you need to get a qualified electrician to do your project. The Go Power TS 30 is simply an either-or automatic switch. It appears to me that you are trolling.

im not really sure of the layout your talking about. but this usually kicks in when the utility power shuts off. If you want instant power switching i would use a dpst contactor. They are cheaper and instant power switching. You can hook the 120 to the coil from generator and when the generator is supplying power it switches to itself and when you shut off power it will go back to your solar bank. These range from 20-60 dollars and are dead simple to install.

Also the go power has a 15 to 20 second delay before switching. Either way you decide to go i would recommend a ups (uninterruptable power supply) for sensitive electronics such as computer, tv, cable boxes, etc....you won't lose power to your equipment and it will protect it from surges as well

The way the switch works is if the primary power source fails it will auto switch it and you wouldnt even notice it. If you want to split the loads you have to run seperate wiring.

Yes, you can hook the 2 6v batteries in series to the inverter, that's what I did. The solar kit is going to be independent as long as it comes with a 12v charge controller. *Note you should only run your batteries down more than 50% in an emergency, that will shorten their life span of the batteries. A 1500 watt inverter maybe a little over kill matched a 95 watt solar kit. You need a bigger solar kit, or just buy and second one. I started with 2 (100) watt panels and plan to add to them.

If your talking about feeding the negative line into the positive of another panel, wear your taking the 15 watts and dubbing it to 30 and so on. No I have never tried it, so I cant say if it can be done. I use it to charge batteries and then use the power inverters. The solar cell will charge batteries more effectively with low watts (trickle charging) Most batteries have memory, so the faster you charge it, the fast it will discharge, The slower you charge it the slower it will discharge. But if your taking about setting up a couple of cells to one battery, you can if you buy a different regulator, you can get one where you can add several solar cells and a wind generator to one battery.

I have a 5000 watt power invertor. I have 4 solar panels on the roof to keep 4 group31 batteries charged to power the invertor. I also have a battery isolator to charge batteries from the alternator and shuts off when they are charged back up.

Essentially, yes. With the use of an inverter the tool can be run from an alternative power source. The type of brushless motor used by this grinder doesn't really care whether it's AC or DC.

I have used my power inverter only for a heating pad for a bad back while driving long distances in the car. I do not know if it will operate a coffee pot but I would think that it might. It does not appear that your coffee pot is a high voltage appliance. Good luck!

Solar is nothing more than a battery charger. If you can operate your a/c unit without plugging in or using a genertor then yes you can.
386079
Yes, that is how I operate the unit. Use a solar panel with a minimum power of 25 watts, attach it to a 12-volt car battery using a solar charge controller.

I don't think you can run 2 at a time. I believe the Honda 2000 Generator/Inverter can be linked together.

Yes but there is a long delay. You might try a regular 120v contactor, with the coil electrified by batteries and when your battery bank/inverter drop out the coil let's go and automatically switches to the other input which can be shore power. Then there is no interruption in power. But put sensitive electronics on a surge ups and everything will work great. That's what i do. When my batteries are charged enough they kick in the inverter which powers the coil and closes contacts to feed my load from solar. Then at night after they drain and voltage gets too low they switch back to shore power, with no interruption to my loads. Yes but there is a long delay.

Yes, the solar panel controller & 12v supply of the solar system may need to be isolated from the inverter-charger when connected in parrelel. Check with the mfg of the solar panel system.

Not sure I understand your question. You may plug in any electrical appliance to this generator that you would normally plug into an outlet in your home. If you are asking about connecting this generator to your home's electrical panel, you need to have an electrician install the proper equipment to make this connection. I hope this has been helpful.

Probably yes, as long as there were no other major loads on the generator. This unit draws a maximum of 13 amps at 120 VAC which equates to about 1560 watts, make it just over 1600 watts if you account for the charger efficiency of >93%. Obviously these numbers are based on maximum output form the charger (100 amps). You may want to consider a power conditioner in between the generator and the charger, depending on how clean the power is from your generator. If it is an inverter generator then this is not necessary. Hope this helps.

No, this unit is way too small for that.This unit is for simple power needs, coffee maker, run a small fridge, a fan etc.I have used this to run a simple fridge, fan and coffee maker. .during a 2 day power short.It can handle all of this with no problem. The bad side, it will drink the gas.

Yes u can,but u must have a sufficient 110 power supply. enough to cary enough amperage to the machine. u have to be able to pull at least 25 or 30 amp thru your power supply. Standard 110 supply usually will not.
1835931
The practice answer is No. I say that only because the unit could run a 15 amp appliance for about 10 to 15 mins and then it would be out of power. We make the OG 215 that comes with (4) 300 watt solar panels that would allow you to run up to 30 amps of power during the day but would restrict you during the night hours to 100 amp hours. That unit cost $2,500. Thanks for the question, Don

I'm no Electrical Engineer, but this is what I have to offer: The charger I have is a Worx WA3737. The specifications for the charger are: Input: AC 100V-120V, 50/60 Hz, 1.5A. Output: 24V, 1.5A. Output DC barrel jack: Polarity = positive (outside = neg, inside = pos.) If your solar array can match the input specs for the charger, which I suspect you can't, you have no problem. On the other hand, if your solar generator can match the output specs for the charger, you should be able to charge the battery by some means other than the OEM charger, but the OEM charger may have components that protect the battery against overcharging, shorting, etc. In other words, you would have to have someone with knowledge of electronics crack open the supplied charger to see the circuitry and use/match that configuration for your new charger which is built for input from your solar generator. Of course, this would probably void the warranty, and should be done only by someone with a knowledge of electronics. Hope this helps.
