[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1721108, member: 9096"] 7.2kw at 12V is 600 amps! I don't believe for a second that it would supply that for more than a second... a 100 amp alternator is 1200W, so you MIGHT be able to get 2kw steady from it, being generous We've got 4 diesel generators and a gas one... This one here is a mitsubishi diesel, I bought it engine/generator, no frame for $1100 CAD (800 USD), engine was never fired, I think it's 10kw, and can do 120, 240, and 480V 1ph or 3ph, it's a brushless Stamford generator unit on it.. it's a 3600 RPM unit so a bit noisy, but should be very reliable, and we have lots of diesel on hand at all times [ATTACH type="full"]11444[/ATTACH] Guy I bought the above unit from knew of another, for the same price, so I bought that one as well.. also new, never fired..
