Although, the ECO12990ES generator can power six 1.1HP, five 1.6HP or three 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 ECO12990ES generator is too small for you, consider getting a 10KVA, such as the FPG15000SE. This is a common choice for those interested in having a more extensive coil. Also, a 10KVA generator can simultaneously power a 6000W pressing iron, a 700L fridge or a freezer with a few extra light bulbs and fans. A 10KVA generator can also power fourteen 1.1HP, ten 1.6HP, or six 2.2HP FIRMAN Inverter Air Conditioners under the gen link mode without other appliances.

 

WHICH GENERATORS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY SMALLER SHOULD I CONSIDER?

The generators smaller than the 8KVA generators are the 7KVA. The options available under the 7KVA generators include the ECO10990ES, ECO10990ESR and SPG10800E2. They can power essential home appliances like light bulbs, fans, television, and ten Firman 1.1HP Inverter ACs under the gen link mode or seven Firman 1.6HP Inverter ACs under the gen link mode without other appliances.
