Determining Power Requirements
Wacker generator Model
GV 7000A
is designed to operate single-
phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model
GV 7003A
is
designed to operate single phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at
230VAC and/or three-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 400VAC.
Both single and three phase sides of the generator may be run at the
same time.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the power output of the generator. Damage
to tools or generator will occur. See
Technical Data
.
Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and appliances to
make sure their power requirements are met by the power output of the
generator. If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance,
contact the tool manufacturer for wattage requirements.
Some appliances and tools require a surge of current when starting.
This means that the amount of power needed to initially start the
equipment is larger than the power required to keep it running. The
generator must be capable of supplying this "surge" current. Other
types of appliances require more power than is actually stated on their
nameplate.
The information in “Approximate Starting Power Requirements” is
offered only as a general guideline to help you determine power
requirements for different types of equipment. Check with your nearest
Wacker dealer, or contact the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or
appliance, if you have questions regarding power requirements.
CAUTION:
DO NOT exceed the rated current limit of any receptacle.
CAUTION:
If a tool or appliance does not reach full speed within a few
seconds after it is switched on, turn it off immediately to avoid damage.
