Q: How do I determine the amount of wattage needed for my house? by Daniel Knepp from Michigan on March 10, 2012
A: Thank you for visiting Electric Generators Direct. In regards to your question, the generator size is determined by the starting amperage load of the equipment you are planning on powering when you lose power. The starting amperage load will be much larger than the running load and proper calculations need to be done to properly size a unit. We recommend having a certified electrician do your wattage calculations as every home is different. The electrician would calculate with the following formula to properly size the generator which should be sized at 80% of its running capacity to allow enough flexibility to handle large intermittent loads and still keep voltage output at proper levels. (Starting Amps x Volts = Watts). by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Could you tell me how many BTU's this unit is? Thanks by Christine from Ohio on February 28, 2012
A: The BTU's are listed on the spec sheet found on the generator product page under the specs link.
Q: Hi Jim, What is the difference between the 20resl and 20resal? I don't see the composite pad on this unit 20resal? Thanks, Steve by Steve from New Jersey on February 21, 2012
A: The new "A" version has the following features added: ** New Controller - RDC2/DC2 - New display readable in direct sunlight, 2 lines, 16 characters per line, no more codes. - Built-In 2.5A battery charger using 120 VAC allowing deletion of the separate 6A battery charger - Includes Ethernet Board, so no hardware required to be installed for OnCue - RDC2 has built-in LED's on controller overlay to view status of RXT transfer switch and source availability while standing at the genset - Real Time Clock - Allows setting of Exercise for any time and day you want - Internal protection, no controller fuses to service - Controller is fully potted for protection against snow and moisture
** New Silencer design to reduce sound levels - 14RESA sound level during exercise is 63 dBA, and 67 dBA during normal operation - 20RESA sound level during exercise is 64 dBA, and 69 dBA during normal operation
The composite pad is the same color as the entire unit and already attached to the bottom of the generator. by Jim, Product Expert
