I got bit myself when I took a 4000 watt generator out to the homestead to run my mig welder. Since it runs off of a normal outlet, it draws less than 2400 watts. I knew that the output would be about 3000 watts, so I was 'fine'. But I forgot there are 2 outlets that share that wattage! And the 1500 watts wouldn't carry the welder....🤬😭🤮👎
I was mad at ME, because I know better!!!!😭👎
So this may be a little reminder for me too. 🤕😁
😆🤕😁👎🙏
RE: When prepping for generator power, be aware that they de-rate the posted power output!
