 This is very large generator it has a starting watt of 15635 watt and a running watt of 12500 watt, meaning it can support a household electric load of 12500 watt. It is 360 pounds and 22 x 39 x 30 inches in dimension.

It has a fuel tank size of 8 gallons, it has running time of 6 hours at 50% load.

 A similar generator to the above is generac 15000 watt,  this also a large watt generator, with a running watt of 15000 watt meaning it can support a load of 15kilowatt at a time, It is very large generator with a  fuel tank size of 16 gallons or 80 liters, it can run for  10 hours  on half load continuously.

It  is a very portable generator with a  carrying handle and  a never flat tyre wheel for easy mobility on jobsite. It is 38.5 x 30.75 x 48.5 inches in height, length and width respectively and is 375 pounds in weight.

Another similar generator is dewalt 11700 watt ,  this also  a large generator with a starting watt of 14000 watt and a running watt of 11700, it is 344 pounds in weight and has a dimension of  33.3 x 31.6 x 36.4 inches

  This is a large watt generator , it has a starting watt of 22500 watt and a running watt of 15000 watt, meaning it can support a load of up to 15000 watt at am et time,

 It is very large generator with a  fuel tank size of 16 gallons or 80 liters, it can run for  10 hours  on half load continuously.

It  is a very portable generator with a  carrying handle and  a never flat tyre wheel for easy mobility on jobsite. It is 38.5 x 30.75 x 48.5 inches in height, length and width respectively and is 375 pounds in weight. It as a low noise muffler to check noise.

A similar generator to the above is genera 10000 watt , it has a starting watt of 12500 and a running watt of 10000 watt, meaning it can support a load of 10000 watt. It is somewhat heavy weighing about 300 pounds and is 29.5 x 32 x 33 inches in dimension.

Another similar generator to the above is powermate 12500 watt generator, it has a starting watt of 15635 watt and a running watt of 12500 watt, meaning it can support a household electric load of 12500 watt. It is 360 pounds and 22 x 39 x 30 inches in dimension.

how long can a generator run non-stop

 the running time of generator is number of hours a generator can run continuous on full tank of fuel, the running time of a generator is proportional to the generator rating and its fuel tank size.

 Generator are rated in two ways  , they have the running watt and the starting watt, the running watt, I the number power the generator will require to kick starting while the running watt is the amount of load the generator can support at a time.

A highly rated generator will consume more fuel at a time than a low rated generator,  for example a 10, 000 watt generator will consume more fuel than a 2000 watt generator, because the amount of load they support is not the same.

 But what determine the running time is the fuel tank size, a generator with a fuel tank size of 10 gallons will run for a longer time than a generator with a fuel tank size of 3 gallons.

 Therefore what determine the running time of a portable generator is running watt and the fuel tank size, from these we can deduce than a low rated generator or a generator with a low running watt and a large fuel tank will have a longer running time while a generator with a high running watt and a small tank size will run for a shorter time.

 The best way to know your running time is to check your generator user manual if you are intending to buy a new generator,  you should try to download the user manual as , you can find this and other important information.

 For example generac 5500 watt has a running  time of 10 hours at 50% load,  wen 2000 watt has a running watt of 6 hours on 50% load. Champion 7500 watt has a  running time of 8 hours on 50% load etc.

 

what kind of generator should i get

if you are looking for the best kind generator to buy, there are brands and manufacturers of portable generator,  but to pick a good generator there are some qualities or features to in a generator to consider no matter  what brand or company selling it.

One of these essential features are the generator ratings, a portable generator is like any other electric appliances, they have two ratings, the starting watt and the running watt, the starting  watt is he power the generator require to kick starting while the running watt is the amount of load the generator can support at a time  generator are rated using the  running worth, for example  a 2000 wat generator can support electrical household load of  2000 watt at a time, a 5000 watt generator can support a load of up to 5000 watt, while a 10 000 watt generator can support up to 10 000 watt of energy  at a time,  therefore what  10000 watt generator can do a 2000 watt cannot do, there when chosing a generator always consider the size of your household load

 The 2^nd factor to consider is the running time, a running time is time a generator can run continuously  when on full fuel tank . a generator with a running time of 4 hours  and another of 15 hours are not the same.  Therefore when choosing a generator always consider the running time,

 The running time of generator is independent of a generator rating, a 10, 000 watt genenartor ca have a running time of just 7 hours  whereas a 8000 watt generator can have a running time of 15 hours,

 The major factor that determine the running time of a generator is the tank size, a gen wit a large tank size will have a longer running time than a generator  small tank  tank size generator.

 Another factor to consider is the  noise level, no body want a noisy generator, noise is  a pollution,  generators are rated in decibels,  the average rating is 50decibel which almost same as the level of human conversation.

what do i need to know about portable generator

portable generator are made for special reasons one of which is to  provide power in case of absent of the mains supply.

  A portable generator is a complete machine on it own , there are many things that you will need to know about this portable generators, we are going to consider  8 essential features common among all portable generators

Running time

Portability

 All portable generator are not of the same size, they are rated based on the amount of electric load they can support at a time, a 1000 watt generator , is not of the same capacity as 2000 watt generator, likewise a 10 000 watt generator is not of same capacity as 20 000 watt generator.

 Generators has two ratings, a starting watt and a running watt, a starting watt is maximum power required by the generator to start while the running watt is the amount of load the generator can support.

Noise level, portable generator are meant for home use , quieter one are better, generators has noise ratings; a 60 decibels is considered normal, anything above this  is noisy.

The next thing to consider is running time, running time is number of hours a generator will run continuously when on full fuel tank.  Running time are rated in hours.

The next factor to consider is weight, how heavy a generator is very important, a light weight portable generator is more portable  than a heavy weight generator. Portable generator are mostly within the ranges of 50 to 200 pounds.

Portability, mostly portable generator have either a carrying handle or  wheel tyres.  Very light weight has carrying handles while slightly heavy ones have never flat wheels.
