Hi all...picked up an old Honda em2200x generator. It runs and has an output, but I'm having trouble with it. With a small (2-3 amp) load on it, I'll read voltage just fine (120volts) and the generator will run the load just fine. But if I hook a large load like 10-15 amps up to it, the generator output drops to 42 volts and the breaker will trip.
Any help would be great! Thanks..
Nevermind.....it's working just fine. I guess it just isnt able to handle a small wire feed welder. The welder is rated at 13 amps, but the start up current when beginning to weld must be too great for the genny. I just had
20 amps consisting of a few 500w floodlights and a circ. saw plugged into the generator, and it worked just fine.Too bad cause I was really hoping to be able to use the genny with the welder...but 99% of my welding is done at home in the garage, so it's not a huge deal.
I have that generator and also have a 110 volt wirefeed welder. The welder does not even like to share a household circuit with any other load. I always look for a washing machine circuit (dedicated) to power it elsewhere. It should work on a 20 amp dedicated circuit just fine.
Air compressors are another limitati>Nevermind.....it's working just fine. I guess it just isnt able to handle a
That is exactly what happens when I run my large compressor off of my 5K Generac generator.
I have 2 - 1500 watt ceranic heaters and 2 or 3 500 watt halogen lights I use to exercise the 5K.
