Although, the ECO7990ES generator can power three 1.1HP, three 1.6HP or two 2.2HP FIRMAN Inverter AC under the normal link mode without other appliances.

 

THIS GENERATOR IS TOO SMALL FOR ME. WHAT IS THE NEXT LARGER SIZE?

If the ECO7990ES generator is too small for you, consider getting a 6KVA, such as the ECO8990ES, ECO8990ESR, RD8910EX, SPG8800E2, FPG8800E2, and FPG8800E2R. These are common choices for those interested in having a more extensive coil. Also, a 6KVA generator can simultaneously power a 4500W pressing iron, a 400L fridge or a freezer with a few extra light bulbs and fans. A 6KVA generator can also power nine 1.1HP, seven 1.6HP, or four 2.2HP FIRMAN Inverter Air Conditioners under the gen link mode without other appliances.

 

WHICH GENERATORS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY SMALLER SHOULD I CONSIDER?
