I'm in florida, right in frances' projected path. I have access to a 10,000 watt (that'd be 10kW by my reckoning) twin-cylinder honda generator, a 3 cylinder diesel 8 kW generator, or a 4 cylinder d

10k will deliver about 83 Amps. I've been told by an expert that should be plenty for my house. I have a 200 Amp panel, but you never use the full capacity of the panel, many older homes have 100 Amp

If it helps, you can run the diesels on just about any vegetable oil. It needs to be heated so it is thin, but that's pretty easy to take care of. Might be worth considering as all the fuel trucks hi

Rule of thumb (not a very good one) ... takes twice the current to start as to run. There should be a nameplate on the compressor itself (inside the housing) that gives ratings; or you could just bu

That seems way too high unless it has a 10HP motor. Could be overkill by the installer. Or maybe even a sub panel. Check the label on the unit. And again, stay safe. Peter

The "rule of thumb" to convert from Tons of AC to KW is tons X 3.516 = 12.3 Kw (in this case). None of the generators you mentioned are going to carry the running current of the AC, to say nothing of

10kW is 10kW... except its usually on at least two circuits. So you can't get all 10kW to one device. I balance the load on my generator by plugging lights and computers into one circuit and fridge o
