WHAT APPLIANCES CAN THE SUMEC FIRMAN SPG8000E2 5KVA GENERATOR RUN?

The SUMEC FIRMAN SPG8000E2 generator can power most home appliances such as;

Although, the SPG8000E2 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 SPG8000E2 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?

The generators smaller than the 5KVA generators are the 3KVA and 3.5KVA. The options available under the 3KVA and 3.5KVA generators include ECO4990ES, ECO5990ES, SPG3800E2, SPG4000E2, FPG4800E2 and AC6000E2. They can power essential home appliances like light bulbs, fans, television, and five Firman 1.1HP Inverter ACs under the gen link mode or four Firman 1.6HP Inverter ACs under the gen link mode without other appliances.
