Answer: Yes, the 50 amp receptacle and the 30 amp receptacle will need to be used at the same time to take full advantage of the power output available. Please note that any 50 amp receptacle will be limited to 12,000 watts at its peak capacity.

I wanted to make sure I mentioned this, The way Duramax has this wired with no neutral and only using the ground wire Will still give you 120 and 240v but its not being implemented correctly, they're sending all of the current back down the ground wire. For this to be safe and correct there really needs to be a neutral. Period. The Honda eu7000is parallel kit is doing this the correct way.

This is the video I've been waiting for! I can't remember where, but I heard somewhere that the reduced power rating on propane was due to the tank getting cold and pressure dropping, so theoretically, if you had a big enough tank, regulator, propane hose, and or a tank heater, you could get the same power out of a generator as you can on gas. I'd imagine you have to run on propane for some amount of time before you can't make full power anymore. Anyway, thanks for the video! This answered most of the questions I had.

I'm not sure about that. I think it's the energy density of the fuel. The only evidence I have to back that up is that the RPMs of the generator rev up when it's on propane for the same load. You can hear it in this video and Gavin mentioned it in a previous video, in the context of how the generator will run quieter on gas because it can run the same load at a lower RPM. Does my reasoning make sense?
@xsterawesome
@xsterawesome 2 жыл бұрын
@@kettch42 The change in RPM comes down primarily to the differing stoichiometric combustion ratios between propane and gas, (Propane (LP) (By mass 15.5 : 1) (By volume 23.9 : 1) (Percent fuel by mass 6.45%) vs Gasoline (By mass 14.7 : 1) (Percent fuel by mass 6.8%)), the energy density for propane is actually slightly higher than gasoline by weight (12.9 kWh/kg vs 12.7 kWh/kg respectively). By volume it does differ a little bit (7.5 kWh/l for propane and 8.76 kWh/l for gas), but that can all be addressed with the aforementioned properly sized hoses, regulators, and carburetors, etc. So, for a given situation a generator will have to run a little bit faster on propane just to maintain a clean burn but on an inverter generator it technically doesn't matter what speed the generator runs at as long as there's enough energy for the load at that RPM, and the engine can physically run at that speed, (the whole reason inverter generators were invented was to be able to vary the RPM of the engine). So, I guess to say what I originally said more concisely for an inverter generator it should not matter as long as the engine can go a few 100 RPM above (this number will vary with displacement) what it does on gas (around 3600 RPM), however, most 3600 RPM are rated for 3800 RPM. Technically, it's a bigger deal for traditional generators it's running a higher RPM your power quality will suffer if you can't maintain the same engine speed, so, I guess without some clever tricks you actually would have to cut your rated output when converting those to propane. That's probably why dual fuel is more popular on inverter generators anyway.
@kettch42
@kettch42 2 жыл бұрын
@@xsterawesome Thanks for all that insight. My thought is that since we are talking about maximum power, there is a maximum RPM that the engine/generator can do (not sure what the limiting factor is though), so if both gas and propane have the same max RPM, gas will always produce more power.

Thank you for your videos Gavin. I would like to see you run your house on these generators in parallel since this is what I want to do. My house is natural gas, specifically the dryer, central heating, the water heater and kitchen stove and oven are all natural gas. I have a 4 ton Trane manufactured in 2017 with an LRA of 124 and an RLA of 18.5 and a micro air soft start on the way. Do you think I would be able to run my house on 1 of these 9000 watt generators or would I need to purchase 2 and run them in parallel like you just did? I also have a pool but am not sure how many watts it pulls yet. Do you know if there is a natural gas conversion kit for these generators? I believe that the volume of natural gas I have for the pool heater may be enough to run these generators. This would be a great alternative to the $13,000 to $15,000 cost of a generic home back up system. Thanks again for the info.

Ok so I understand the 100+ amps that was recorded was accomplished by paralleling the 2 generators and the 100+ amps was passed through the 50 amp outlet on the primary generator? Is a surge protector link like the one used required or are there other types. Very cool and could be what looking for if I can have the 100 amps available over the course of 24 hours per week.

At 120 V so that’s 50 amps per leg which is 50 amps at 240 V So each leg is handling 50 A which is perfectly normal at 120 V

I'm looking to upgrade my whole home setup to an inverter style with propane as an alternative fuel. I like the idea that you can mix and match the 7250 and 9000 in parallel. My big question is, can you have the parallel cable plugged into both and just run one generator? Main reason is to leverage the smaller, quieter and more efficient generator at night where I just need 300-600 watts (always on load and TV's) with the A/C on for an hour or so once or twice (2500-2700watts). Then fire up the bigger second generator when I know i'll need more demand (cooking, washer/dryer, more lights, etc). A follow up to that, if the 7250 is the primary with the 50amp plug, can it be "on" but not running, and receive power from the 9000? Running the bigger generator with more head room durning the day and adding the little one for capacity. Another reason for this question is to leverage the remote start and not training family members on how to re-cable things if I'm not around. Having the ability to mix and match which one is running, I could add some automation. Watching a near real time monitory like Sense, I could add automations that would trigger the second generator based on average home usage or something. :)

Automatic Transfer switch for 200amp home service. What is out there that will work with the GM7250iEDC?

Their instructions for this GM9000PK are about as clear as mud. It's easy enough that the cable hooks from one to the other, but, if you are running two like this, how does it send all the power of both down a single 50 amp cable to hook to a 50 amp power inlet box? It looks like you are using one to run each item....RV on one and heater on the other. How is that combining into a single output?

I have these two and plan to use them together in parallel, with two inlets to our house, this is possible because our house happens to split the power in right away into a “lower” and “upper” panel. I had planned to use the 50A AND 30A outlets at once, as I understand only one generator outlets can be used when in parallel correct? But I noticed you split the 50A outlet in this test, can you elaborate a little more on that? In theory you should only have been able to pull 12kW like that, right? Or am I missing something? Bottomline my two questions are: A) Can I use both the 30A and 50A at once when paralleled to get around the 14kw as you showed here? B) Could I use the two 50A outlets from the two generators at once, I think no?

Three completely different generators in my opinion, the two 7250 it’s going to sound differently than two 9000 or 10,000 paralleled. The V-twin engine on the Duromax will handle the power a lot better but I do understand redundancy it’s just not what I’m thinking about when my generator is running, properly maintaining the engine and you’ll be fine.

I found your videos when researching the duramax 9000ih. Best most thorough reviews of any product I have read or watched. If your requirement was 12000 watts would it be best for a fuel consumption standpoint to have two running parallel or one 12000 watt generator?

The problem is, I haven’t found a generator that you can buy with 12,000 W that has a true eco-mode so you could save some fuel. I’m pretty sure you looked at the Westinghouse 12,000 W dual fuel. It all depends on if you have the space to store two 9000w generators

If I’m hooking up this generator to my house via inlet and use of an interlock kit, do I have to break the bond in the generator? Or, if I use a transfer switch, does the same thing have to happen? I would still like to use my generator for other projects, not just hooking up to the house. Thank you again. Just slightly confused.

Great Video. I was just curious. The Duromax XP9000iH generators use only 3 wires per generator ( No Dedicated Neutral) to the Xp900iH-PK Parallel Box. After checking the schematic of the generators it looks like the ground and the neutral are wired together. I guess this is Ok ? Also, This is from the Duramax Xp900iH-PK site. Just saw this on there site also. Answer. The XP9000iH will have a bonded neutral and ground wire; and if your hooking the generator up to your home you'll want to use a 3 pole transfer switch that will transfer the neutral wire. Interesting
@kettch42
@kettch42 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, -the ground and neutral share the same wire in the parallel kit for the Duromax.- If you want to DIY unbond the neutral on the Duromaxes (it's easy), then you have to account for needing to add a neutral wire to the parallel kit, -and somehow also unbond the neutral in the factory parallel kit plug.- Maybe you'd be better off just making a DIY custom parallel kit in that case. [Edit: I have since learned that the Duromax kit is 240V only, and there is no neutral whatsoever.]

I follow a lot of your videos. I have switched my preference to this Genmax over the Duromax, only becuse it has the 50 amp outlet. If Duromax 9000 made one with 50 amp outlet I would stick with themsince they automatically choose 240/120. Maybe Duromax will upgrade soon with a 50 amp outlet. I just hate having to convert the bond to floating...I assume that would void the warranty? My only hope is that Generlink will make a transfer switch with a 50 amp outlet sometime soon.

Nice test. Maybe try to push one generator to 6500 or so and let it run for a hour or so with a heavy load. This will put the inverter module through its paces. I think this would be real world for whole house backup power needs. The motor is making the power on LP gas to meet the 7600 max. That is good to know. What elevation are you at? I am 250’ above sea level so engine power won’t suffer from altitude. Hurricanes are the reason for backup power for me. They happen in the late summer months when it is hot out, 90+ deg. Putting a 6000-6500w load in the summer heat will show what it is capable of. Thanks for the very good videos.

Hey Gavin, I love the channel and find it very informative. I am a little confused by this video though and hope you can help me understand. It seems as thought the generators aren't putting out the full rated capacity. On Gasoline they are rated at 9000 watts starting and 7600 running, and propane it is rated 8550 watts starting and 7200 running. When you did the first test with the heater on propane it ran fine at 7200 watts which is what I expected since the running watts on propane is 7200, then you added the light and it went to 7600 and it tripped. That makes sense on propane. Then you did the test on gasoline and once you added the light it went to 7600 again but it tripped after a few seconds. That was unexpected since it is rated for 7600 on gas. Then when you paralleled them together both were running on gasoline and you only got 14,397 watts before they tripped, I would have expected 15,200 watts. What am I missing?
@GeneratorReviews
@GeneratorReviews 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Darryl Even though it’s rated for 15,200 W running when paralleled you can only really pull 12,500W on a 50 amp Inlet box With that said, when you’re parallel you do lose some power in line loss. That is why I do this test so we can get real world numbers anyways I appreciate your question I hope this helps and thanks for watching
@ewicky
@ewicky Жыл бұрын
7600W rated on gasoline is a marketing number and also an ideal max rating. A load could be 7601W and if it goes for more than 5 seconds, it will trip out the inverter into overload protection. I think it's fair to say that even a "7.5kW" load reading should basically be considered 100% rated capacity, especially since a 7.5kW reading on the display could be as high as 7499W accounting for rounding error. This is one of the downsides with inverter generators; they are less tolerant of overloads than alternator generators.

Hi Gavin Could you do me a big favor. According to a lot of folks the DuroMax XP9000iH and the XP9000iH-pk cant output 120v on 2 legs from the 50amp plug since the neutral is missing. An example of a generator thats wired correctly is the Honda eu7000is, (SOME of the predator 9500s even some of these are missing the neutral on the front panel.) and the new Genmax. The way the DuroMax is wired its only be able to safely produce 240v, not 120/240. Could you check out this post I started about using the xp9000iH with there xp9000iH-pk parallel box with no neutral connection. Seems odd DuroMax would do this.
