Should've bought the Genmax grom Sam's Club, GM7500IAED, thats built by the same company as that Pulsar for $799 till tomorrow. $899 reg shipped. 7500/6500 gas and 7000/6000 propane.
@@TheDailyAmerican It's mainly that WalMart is the 800-lb retail gorilla so they basically went to Genmax and said, "we'll order XX amount of this generator BUT, we want our own exclusive model that no one else can price shop". (I was a manufacturers rep years ago and had a few SKU's with them). This one is spec for spec the exact same thing as their GM7250 that retails for similar to the Pulsar and, from what I've read, they buy/build at the same place. (Identical engines, etc) Either are great gens and good clean power
I see the parallel ports on the machines. Those ports in the inverter are designed to sense the phase of the low level power of the other generator and sync up the high power output. Without that sync ability, you could run out of phase between the units and cause some MAJOR meltdown of equipment.
Was the compressor maxing out 1 of the generators? Or do you think it would be able to run a couple of other tools. Example 12 amp vacuum and 15 amp steamer?
The ac maxed out one generator some of the time. About 50/50 it would start but then it would over load. Both of them together never had an issue. Both together can surge over 110 amps for a bit on start up so that’s a ton of power for such a small footprint.
@ ah okay I didn’t realize that you also did the ac aside from the compressor. I’m trying to run a McGraw 1.8 hp compressor, while also running a 12 amp vac/15 amp steamer at the same time. The compressor pulls a good 60+ amps on start up and I know the other two will pull about 20 ish on start up.
Look for these and the genmax 7250 on sale and get two. Then you know you are covered. When you can get these on sale, and it really is either one, you get the best wattage/amperage per dollar you can buy with the option to scale down to one generator for better fuel consumption.
@ I’m going to use the generator for my mobile detailing van. So I don’t think I’ll be able to fit two of them! I’ll have to do some measurements. But I can get these second hand brand new for about $625-$750. Not a bad deal! Just need it to handle about 60-70amp surge from my compressor starting up lol
What’s the inverter generators once the parallel kit is installed it automatically sync up and it splits the amperage between the two units so if they’re both running and your drawing 30 A, you’ll have 15 on one and 15 on the other
That sounds incorrect. During parallel operation, the voltage is the same but the amperage is doubled. Since one generator can produce 25amps per leg, 2 will be more. Hope this helps.
@@TheDailyAmerican I have two inverter generators and have an amp clamps on them both I’ve ran 18 A on just one by itself then when I parallel it and put the amp clamps on each side of the parallel kit, I was pulling 9 A out of each generator I don’t think amp clamp lie, but the main thing is that they stay the same frequency or it can cause damage to your equipment I know you have the 240 V. I am not for sure if they’re different. All I have is 120 v inverter generators 3500 W peak a piece and 3000 continuous my voltage and frequency always stays the same. It’s just when they’re paralleled. I can get up to 50 A at 120 V instead of 25 A on a single unit and we used my cousins fluke amp meter for the testing
@@paultice610I think what you’re saying is that on a fixed load the paralleled units will load share. That is correct. The potential is doubled but actually is halved when a load under max is applied. Say a 20amp load is connected. One generator will apply all 20 but when the generator is paralleled, the load is now split equally between the two. So 10amps each. Is that what you’re asking?
@ thank you that’s the word I was trying to think of earlier. I just wouldn’t for sure if it was the same for the 240 V inverters as well. Because I’ve been watching a bunch of videos because I would like to upgrade so that I can have 120 and 240.
@ your very welcome. I can understand. I like having the most options that I can have within reason. Keep an eye out for these to go on sale. I got them for $949 each.
Yea thank you for the question. It wasn’t listed but when the generator was heavily loaded, it was powering either the central ac or water heater. Also they do sync perfectly

That is a screaming deal! I got these when the genmax was $1700 or so. Gotta love the price fluctuation.

Just ordered one of these generators. Thanks for the info!
That’s great!!! I hope it serves you as well as it does me! My next video on these will be more explanatory.

Excellent point yes this should only be done if at least one generator has a sync board.
I think you are almost there. You need 1 more generator, the one sized to run the minimum you would use at night while you are sleeping.
Yeah there is always that hahaha

Should be close. Also look into a starting aid like a hard start or soft start. It may be possible.

Have you tried this with 240v loads? Do the phases sync up? If not your voltage is going to vary wildly between L1 and L2.
Yea thank you for the question. It wasn’t listed but when the generator was heavily loaded, it was powering either the central ac or water heater.
