A 5500 watt generator uses approximately 45.8 amps when running at full capacity (Watts = Amps x Volts, so 5500W = 45.8A x 120V). Keep in mind that the actual amperage may vary slightly depending on the voltage of the system.

Is it ok to replace a 95 amp alternator with a 130 amp in a 1994 ford explorer sport and what is the difference between them?

Replacing a lower amp generator with a higher one won't hurt. The 130 amp generator doesn't put out 130 amps, it is just capable of generating more amps if called on to do so by the system. For example, if your explorer only uses 10 amps, then the 130 amp generator will only put out 10 amps.

Can you use a es500 Honda generator to run a tv?

Yes! volts x amps = Watts 600Watts / 110volts = 5.45 amps. So if your TV uses less than that, which I'm sure it does you are o.k.


What is the fuel consumption of generators?

The answer is dependent on the size of the engine powering the generator, the electrical load on the generator, and generator's capacity to produce electricity.Compare these two diesel generators:11kW Kubota operating at half load (5500 watts) uses 1.4 gallons of diesel per hour - about .25 gallons per KVA.50kW Generac Protector operating at half load (25kW) uses 2.6 gallons per hour, which is about .104 gallons per KVA.As you can see, the larger generator is operating a lot more efficiently.

Can your 230Volt generator run a 240volt Polisher?

Yes it should, check the output amps/watts against the amps/watts your polisher uses. presto, if they are close just start the polisher and watch the load you put upon it. If you work it too hard you will pop the circuit breaker and need to reset.
