The more breaker space, the better provided panel mounting space is available.
Main two pole breaker in the panel examples:
40 amperes ( 40 x 240 is 9600W),
35 amperes ( 35 x 240 is 8400W),
30 amperes ( 30 x 240 is 7200W).
You can fit your 8000W power supply preferably into a 30A/120/240V panel, or a 35A/120/240V.
Try to keep the loads balanced. There are two 120volts lines, each, line voltage to neutral, and 240 volts line to line. Example, two 120 volt loads, 1500watts each, connect one of the loads to one lone and the other load to the other line so that each of the 120 volts lines has a load of 1500 watts avoiding both 1500 watts loads (3000W) from being connected to just one 120 volts line while the other 120volt line has no load. This is "balancing the load".
Product of volts and amps is watts. Transposable,
Watts divided by volts is amps.
SOURCE: what size generator, watts, doe's it take to start AC unit 57915.531 ?
a 10000 due to the startup surge. also need start kits on any ac started by a generator.
SOURCE: High voltage low cycles
I worked at a tool rental center while going to college and learned how to service generators. Most appliances/tools require 50 to 60 cycles at 110 to 120 v. Your engine was designed to give maximum horsepower at 3600 rpm. Adjust the engine speed to produce 60 cycles and the engine should be at 3600 rpm and producing around 120v max. (Some special generators were designed to produce 230v 180 cycles, check manual) If your generator incorporates capacitors check them for at least 95% of printed uf value. They should be removed from circuit for testing. If there are two caps and one is weak make sure the new cap reads close to value of remaining cap. Finally there is usually a voltage regulator that varies the power to the armature magnet trying to maintain steady voltage depending on amp draw and engine condition. This regulator has no adjustment and is pass or fail type of item. Good luck, enjoy
SOURCE: no electricity from generator
If you have a voltmeter, you can check the voltage coming out of the outlet. If you have some kind of residual voltage, such as 25 Volts AC or 10 volts ac, then you probably have a voltage regulator problem and your regulator will need to be replaced. If you read 0 volts then you you have an open between the output (outlet) and the windings of the stator.
SOURCE: watt size fuse do i use to connect a 350 watt
You use the same amp fuse as on your amp, nothing larger. The fuse just keeps the wire from overheating/shorting and causing a fire.. IF you amp has a 30 amp fuse then you use a 30amp fuse off the battery
SOURCE: use a 7500 watt transfer switch with a 8000 watt
There is no problem to use it if the load to be transferred is under 7500 W.
Even a load of 8000 W may be handled for a short time, but if the protection of the switch is adjusted at 7500 W (the respective current), it may drop after some time.
