What size power cord do i need to use if i want to use my generator to power my RV AC?
To power your RV air conditioner with a generator, you'll typically need a heavy-duty power cord rated for at least 30 amps, especially for most RV AC units. The cord should be at least 10-gauge to handle the high current safely. Ensure the generator's output matches the AC unit’s requirements, usually around 3,000 to 4,000 watts for starting power. Always check both the generator's specifications and your RV's electrical requirements before connecting.

What capacitor size do need for a 5kva generator?
The capacitor size for a 5 kVA generator typically depends on the power factor and the specific application. A general rule of thumb is to use about 0.5 to 1 microfarad (μF) of capacitance per kVA for power factor correction. Therefore, for a 5 kVA generator, you might consider a capacitor size ranging from 2.5 μF to 5 μF. However, it's essential to consult with a professional or refer to the generator's specifications for precise requirements.
Are diesel power generators safer and easier to use than regular gas generators?
A diesel generator combines a diesel engine with a traditional electric generator. The benefit of the diesel generator is that it allows power to be pulled without being connected to the electricity grid. It can be a valuable tool during a power outage. The generator must be the appropriate size for your power needs, however, or the system could short out.
How many watts can be powered by a 9 volt generator?
There is no way to answer without knowing the wattage rating of the 9 volt generator. A generator's wattage rating depends on the size of the wire in it, the wattage of the rectifiers if it is a DC generator, and the horse power of the engine or motor that is available to turn the generator.
Choosing The Right Size Home Generator For A Power Outage?
Home generators that are intended to be used during power outages need to be large enough to handle the electricity use in a house. The amount of power that is needed is the total of all devices that will be used with the generator at the same time after power has been shut off. This can include refrigerators, heaters and even lights. The generator needs to have more than this wattage at startup and needs to be able to sustain at least that much electricity while the generator is running over an extended period of time. Generators that are too small can actually harm the appliances in a home.
How do you calculate power use for a home power generator?
Click the link. There you can figure the size generator you need.
What cable is needed to go from a generator to the electrical supply?
The cable that is used to connect from the generator is based on the size in kW's of the generator and the generator's breaker size rated in amps. It usually is a flexible cab-tire 4 wire cable if the generator is a portable type. If it is a stationary generator is has to be wired with a flexible conduit so as not to transmit vibration from the generator to the conduit system.
What are the features on a fuel driven power generator?
Some features you'll need to know about fuel driven power generators are power, tank size, overall size and maximum draw. If you need the generator to be portable, it needs to be smaller, and will require re-fueling more often. If you need to power appliances, you'll need a more powerful one.
How do you know what kind of power supply cord to buy?
It depends on what you need the power cord for. Usually you will have a manual that can tell you exactly what is needed. If not, just look carefully at the connecting points and see what the shape/size of the power cord needed is. Depending on the appliance, you need to pick out the right cord it tells you it needs.
What size generator do you need to run a static caravan?
A generator with a power output between 2-5 kilowatts should be sufficient to run basic appliances in a static caravan. It's important to consider the power requirements of specific appliances to determine the right size generator for your needs.
What is the best home standby generator on the market?
The best home standby generator will vary from home to home. You will need to determine what you need to power, how many appliances, size of your home etc.
What size generator do you need to move a 30 hp electric motor?
A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.
What size diesel generator would you need if there was a power outage?
The size of the generator is based on the size of the load you want to supply. Size up the load in watts or amps along with what phase (single or three) and voltage that the load requires. These are needed to give a complete answer.
How much would a Yamaha generator cost?

What size generator would you need to power a 200 amp tig welder?
Generators are rated in watts or kilowatts. The formula for watts is W = Amps x Volts. To size a generator for the welder the voltage of the machine must be stated.
If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?
Your house runs nowhere near 200 amps, so you need to make a list of appliances and fixtures that you use, or that you will need while the generator is running, and add their power consumption together. Add some extra capacity for growth and so the generator is not always at full power. Then talk to dealers about generators with the amount of power you need. To run the house on a generator with the same capacity as the service that you have in your house you would need a 50 Kilowatt generator.
