Question:
I read where the Firman generators have aluminum coated copper wires.How does this differ from basic copper wires and do all Firman gens have the same wiring

Aluminum coated wires of the Firman generators like part # 333-H08051 allow for lower harmonic distortion than copper wires and also allow the wires to last longer. The lower the harmonic distortion the safer it is for electronics. This has a harmonic distortion of 25 percent. All of the Firman generators use this style of wiring.
If you need a lower harmonic distortion you would have to go with an inverter generator set, the etrailer 6,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generators part # 333-0003-2-0007 is the highest wattage we offer at around less than 3% harmonic distortion.
