Questions
Can the Generac GP8000E COsense run a house through a 30 amp inlet?
Yes, through a 30 A 120/240 V inlet and transfer switch or interlock. Its L14-30R outlet can feed both legs. Usable through the inlet: 7,200 W running (the 30 A inlet caps at 7,200 W). The essential-circuit list below needs about 4,440 W running and 6,790 W at the worst start, which fits.
What are the Generac GP8000E COsense's starting watts?
10,000 W starting and 8,000 W running on gasoline.
Where do the numbers come from?
Generac spec sheet: 8000 W running, 10000 W starting; L14-30R with 2-pole 30A breaker; 15 hr at 25%, 10 hr at 50%; COsense shutdown.
Safety first
- Run a generator outdoors only, at least 20 feet from the house, with the exhaust pointed away from doors, windows and vents. Never in a garage, basement, shed or crawlspace, even with the door open.
- Carbon monoxide is odorless and can kill in minutes. Keep battery CO alarms working inside the home.
- Never backfeed a house by plugging a generator into a wall outlet or dryer receptacle. It can energize utility lines and kill a lineworker or a neighbor.
- Connecting to home wiring requires a transfer switch or a listed breaker interlock with a power inlet box, installed by a licensed electrician and permitted where your jurisdiction requires it.
