If you aren't buying a junk generator, something with 5500 running watts is more than enough for your portable.]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:32:11 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7162&PID=165075&title=generators-for-my-portable#165075 <![CDATA[generators for my portable : I also have a 8500W Pacific...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7162&PID=165024&title=generators-for-my-portable#165024 Author: John L

I also have a 8500W Pacific generator if your interested PM me. New they are around $3k. Mine is up for $2K hardly used @ all.. Photobucket wont upload the dang pics. Had 14 Trojan horse agent3.ATLI and 7 in the memory and it might have done something to my pc. AVG only removed 7. The other 7 i removed with Combofix, TDSSKiller and TFC (old mans tool).. A nasty trojan horse.]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:53:32 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7162&PID=165024&title=generators-for-my-portable#165024 <![CDATA[generators for my portable : Gona keep it for now. ]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7162&PID=164458&title=generators-for-my-portable#164458 Author: John L

Home Depot employees mean well but after all they are just retail clerks, not experts on anything other than surviving on poverty pay.

I was intrested in buying a generator to run my mytee m-12 but iam so confused on how many watts does the generator need to have for it to be strong enuff. The mytee m-12 has a 2000watt heater plus it has two cords that need 20amps to plug into . iI want to buy the smallest generator possible. My second question would it be safe to buy a longer extension cord the 2 extension cords i have are 50feet.
This is a fairly common question.
 
Concentrate on the amperage of the 2 lines.
 
That would be 20 plus 20 = 40 amps.
 
Convert it to watts by multiplying Amps X Volts
 
40 amps X 120 volts =  4800 watts
Increase by 50% factor to not overwork the generator
 
4800 watts  X 150% = 7200
 
Buy either a 7000 or 8000 watt generator
 
You can also use heavy duty extention cords out to 100 ft(10 guage are best), but concidering that it is difficult to get 2 20 amp circuits in some homes, I would stick with the generator to power this equipment. If the draw was 15 amps or less per cord I would go with the cords instead.Big smile
