No mate, I have a ducted 14.5kw system which would be too much current draw. I have ceiling fans in the rooms worse case scenario, if we have yet another power cut. After the geny warranty runs out, I'm going to bridge the 2x 15amp outlets and wire a 32amp inlet to the switchboard.
@@gbcautoworks Because the generator is rated at 3.5KW Max and 3.0KW Watts running output, which equates to meaning it's output is only ever going to be 14 amps max with a running output of 12 amps. So you will never be able to exceed this value. I believe the purpose of installing 2 x 15 amp outlets on this generator is only to allow the user to be able to connect two separate appliances either of which can draw the max of 12 amps but not both, and combined output would not be able to exceed 12 amps without tripping the overload.
@@dickbrennan2537 Yep, true. The generator will never exceed 12.5A cont. output, as thats what its max. rating is. I am in the process of setting up 2 x 3.0Kw cont. output inverter generators/pro made 32A circuit breaker with 32A outlet parallel setup, for a maximum possible 25A cont. output and connection to the house via a manual transfer switch. For emergency power in the event of outages. Will run lights, fans, evap. cooler on rooftop, fridge/freezer etc. The OP definitely does the right thing by shedding as much possible load prior to changeover.
I need to have a look at the data plate with regards to max power ouput. Quick calculation 3000 watts ÷ 240v = 12.5 amps. I see it now, but why give me 2 x 15 amp outlets 😆 false selling.
That is fantastic
Thanks 👍
Great review,what type of oil do you use there?
I can't remember off the top of my head. Think it was 10w30 as recommended by the manufacturer. ..I will check and get back to you mate.
LSA SN 10w 30 premium oil. Aussie climate so needs the 10w rather than the 5w.
Did you try the A/C with everything else shut off?

Stage them depending on load.
