Thank you, I was going to parallel my Champion 4650 watt with my Predator 2000 watt now I hope I can do this properly lol.
-
Thanks for the video
-
Thank you! This is pretty useful. My main question was if I can parallel generators from different brands and I’m quite happy to have answer “yes” Actually, very short video and very good content. Thanks

Glad to know which of those two AC wires is Negative ..... haha

Check out the Genmax parallel kit. You can connect up to 3 generators togerher.

I am going to try and parallel 4 generators. Wish me luck.

Can I parallel connect a Westinghouse igen4500 & igen2500 together and instead of a 30A@120V, convert it to a 30A@220V outlet so to run my 220V water well pump? Is there a work around to this? Great info video!

Why does Honda say you cannot parallel two different size generators? I parallel a Honda eu2000 with the Honda eu2200 which works great for me.
-
Sorry. If the two generators are of the same wattage. Will the power actually double?
-
How does the synchronisation work here? What if my Volts and Hertz do not match ?
-
I can't find parallel outlet four prong twist lock? Please advise. Thank you
-
can you tell me how to bypass the co sensor on the genmax 9000ied. it trips the co sensor in open air and i am trying to determine if it is the co sensor is bad before i spend money on a new one. thanks

Nice video. Thank you. The one question no one addresses. When you parrilell 2 generators, do you actually double the power, or do you just increase the power by a certain %? If so, what would that % be? Thank you.
-
Do both have to be running?
-
Okay, when you parallel two different sized generators, what is happening with the load? Is it being split evenly? Or does the bigger generator carry more of the load? I have been told that the smaller/weaker generator of the two will limit your power output. If that is true then matching power output on both generators would give you max power.

They don't need to be the same wattage?
-
Maintenancing lol
