I assume your travel trailer is strictly 120 volt as most are. watts = volts * amps watts = 120 * 30 watts = 3600 You need a 3600 watt or bigger generator. If your trailer has an AC unit or other appliance with a fairly large motor I would suggest a larger generator to handle the high starting current that a motor draws just during startup, perhaps a 5000 watt unit. If you camp in national parks, be sure your generator comes with a USFS approved spark arrestor on the muffler or you will get a ticket for using it. Also look for a quiet one as many parks have noise limits too.
What else can I help you with?
What size breaker is needed to connect 5500 watt gas powered generator?
A 5500 watt gas powered generator typically requires a 30 amp breaker for a 240 volt connection. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications to ensure the correct breaker size for your specific generator model.
Can you use a 30 amp standby generator to power a 20 amp transfer switch?
Yes, as long as there is fusing between the generator and the transfer panel. This fuse can be no larger than 20 amps. Without this fuse the load that the transfer panel is handling could go as high as the generator output (30 amps) which is a current that the transfer panel is not rated for.
Have 30 amp double pole need 15 amp 120v?
Remove the 30 amp double pole breaker and install at least one single pole 15 amp breaker. It is best if the other slot is not left open so if you have another single pole breaker of any size install it in the 2nd spot so it isn't open when you replace the cover on the panel. For your 15 amp circuit you need #14 gauge copper wire or larger with a hot, neutral, and ground. Your 30 amp circuit was probably wired with #10 gauge conductors. These will probably work on your 15 amp circuit but it may be difficult to connect #10 conductors to devices.
Can a 30 K W gas emergency generator support a 200 amp residential service with a voltage config of 220 120 volts?
Need to know what voltage the generator is outputing. The maximum voltage a 15kW generator will support at 200A is dependent on service voltage and configuration, the rated generator voltage, the power factor and the load frequency. If this is a typical service to a residential unit, eg. 220V single phase, then the generator will not be able to safely support 200A.
Can you connect a 30 amp generator to a 20 amp transfer panel?
Yes, as long as there is fusing between the generator and the transfer panel. This fuse can be no larger than 20 amps. Without this fuse the load that the transfer panel is handling could go as high as the generator output (30 amps) which is a current that the transfer panel is not rated for.
What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
What size wire do I need for a 30 amp breaker?
For a 30 amp breaker, you will need a wire that is at least 10 gauge in size.
Is it possible to power a 30 amp RV air conditioner with a generator with only two 20 amp outlets by combining the two 20 amp outlets to produce one 30 amp?
No, you need a 30 amp breaker (whether that's from a generator or not it doesn't matter) with the proper voltage.
What are the specifications of a 4-prong 30 amp generator cord?
A 4-prong 30 amp generator cord typically has four prongs for connecting to the generator and a 30 amp capacity for power output. It is designed to safely and efficiently transfer electricity from the generator to your devices or appliances.
What type of plug is required for a 30 amp generator?
A 30 amp generator typically requires a NEMA L14-30 plug for proper connection to power sources.
I have a 220 volt 30 amp generator and 15 amp 240 volt light what do you need to do to make this work?
Nothing, just plug it in. Although the generator has the ability to produce up to 30 amps, the light will only pull 15, this will allow you to utilize the generator to run other items as well...
What size breaker do you need for a 40 gallon electric water heater?
Usually 30 amp
What is the recommended type of cord for a 4 prong 30 amp generator?
The recommended type of cord for a 4 prong 30 amp generator is a 10-gauge, 4-wire cord.
What size breaker is needed to connect 5500 watt gas powered generator?
A 5500 watt gas powered generator typically requires a 30 amp breaker for a 240 volt connection. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications to ensure the correct breaker size for your specific generator model.
Can your 30 amp generator pull a double 20 amp circuit?
When the term "double 20 amp circuit" is used, the presumption is that, it is 20 amps at 240 volts. If your generator has the breaker built in then, yes, you have the capacity to run 240 volt devices from your generator.
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 are the specifications for a generator cord that is 30 amp and 4 prong?
A 30 amp, 4-prong generator cord typically has a NEMA L14-30 plug and receptacle, with a maximum voltage of 250V. The cord should be at least 10-12 gauge wire and have a length suitable for the distance between the generator and the power source.
