HHmmm. Did that unit perhaps have a spark ignition? Regardless you are
right a good earth ground connection is in order. That might be
accomplished by hooking the equipement ground wire of the house system to
the furnance and the male cord end you will plug into the generator outlet.

Lee,
I am not really sure that Central Air is best.
I think it might depend on how many folks live in your house.
It seems to me that if there are just a couple then it would be more
efficient to only heat or cool the area you are using.

Hi
Application Chart for Determining Electrical Load for Generator
Remember 1 kW = 1000 watts2 kW = 2000 watts and so on
The formula for finding wattage is: Volts x Amps = Watts
Example: an appliance nameplate states 3 amps at 120 volts. 3 amps x 120
volts = 360 watts

heres something i found out when i tried to run my furnace on the generator.
you have to have it grounded or the furnace will! not run.
look on the front of your generator usualy around the bottom edge you shoud
find some kind of a lug to connect a ground wire to.
then put a wire from there to a
As someone else said measureing the inrush on a motor can only be done with
a peak hold meter function. Normally inrush is roughly 300 percent of full
load amps or at least non time delay fuses would be sized for that amount.
I really doubt that generator will have any trouble with your furnace fa

You have to open a lead and insert the meter, but I doubt the meter will
handle 10 amps, check the book's spec for A.C. current.
Even if it'll measure current, it will never catch the start current,
the start current pulse is too quick and the meter is way way too slow,
unless it has a "pe
Good morning all, our Canadian tire store had a bargain on 10 amp 1200 W

Dale, the thing about jackhammers, pneumatic ones anyway, is that the lighter

How well does it turn when not on a can? Does the cutting wheel turn freely?
It may be that over time the lubrication has dried up or become clogged with
dust and other debris. Soaking it in water and detergent and working these
moving parts free and clean of build-up might fix the problem for y
