Power Output for Dual Fuel Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit Gas vs Propane Operation
Question:
Hi, is there a power output difference between when gas or propane is used to run the generator?
asked by: Bill W
Expert Reply:
The Champion 9,000-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit, # CH49FR has the same power output specs regardless of type fuel used. There is a starting (surge) power output of 4,500 watts/37.50 amps with a running power output of 3,500 watts/29.20 amps for both propane and gasoline fuel operation.
I highly recommend you have the Storage Cover for Champion Inverter Generator, # CH97FR. Use the draw string to pull the cover under the edges of the generator that the weight from the generator itself will help to hold the cover in place from the wind.
