Does this unit have an L14-30 twist lock outlet?
Is it safe for tvs, electronics as household backup?
Installing transfer switch in house.

Answer
Conventional generators like the Ariens consist of heavy copper coils, which generate a raw form of electricity. The engine must maintain a constant speed of 3,600 rotations per minute to produce AC power. In other words, it must run at full speed, regardless of the load needed, consuming more fuel and generating more noise.
The electricity produced isn't as clean as utility power. Therefore, standard generators are NOT recommended to power sensitive electronics like computers.
Inverter generators, however, utilize a different type of alternator to generate very clean AC power. The inverter technology reduces the generator's size and weight. But more importantly, the engine can run at varying speeds, significantly reducing the noise levels and fuel consumption..
This unit does have the L14-30 3 prong twist lock outlet.
If you have any other questions please let us know.

Hello,
Where is the Ariens 7500 Generator manufactured please? I am trying to buy American. If the Ariens isn't made here what would you recommend in this size and price range that is made in the US?
Thanks for your time.

Answer
The Ariens is an imported generator and not Made in the US. I would recommend the Generac XG or XP series portable generators which are Made in the US in Wisconsin.

I would like to buy the Ariens 986055. I have on my wall garage a 50 amp power inlet box.
How I can connect the generator to the box? What type of cable do I need?
Javier

Answer
Because this generator only has a 30-amp outlet you will need to change out the inlet box to a 30-amp.
Reliance Controls 30-Amp (4-Prong) Power Inlet Box
Once this is installed you would use a 30-amp 4-prong power cord.
