In this video I take a look at the new ALLPOWERS R1500 solar generator / power station. This device will put out 1800 watts and surge to 3000. It has all the latest and greatest features of a modern solar generator. It has UPS mode, dual charging, dual wireless charging, 100 watt USBC power delivery, 200 watt solar panel, smart phone app, etc, etc. It’s not missing anything. You get all the great features at a more affordable price compares tot he other brand name solar generators. Emergency backup power for power outages, camping, RV’ing, job sites, off grid living, etc, etc… There are MANY uses.
Generator Accessory Power Distribution Box With Electric Meters, Extension Cord, Spider Box
In this video I show the portable generator accessory power distribution box (some people call them a “spider box”) that I built to use along with my 240 volt GENMAX GM9000iED inverter generator. This can be used as a stand alone distribution box plugged directly into the generator, or at the end of a 25′, 50,’ 75′, or 100′ extension cord…. like maybe at a camp site, for example. OR, it can be plugged into the generator, then a 240 volt 30 amp extension cord plugged into the other end of the box which can be plugged into the inlet box on the back of my house to power my entire electric panel during power outages. The electric meters on the box show any and all power that is being fed through the box…. either through the outlets on the box itself AND through the 240 twist lock extension cord outlet on the top of the box. This way, when it’s powering my house, I can monitor the total power be consumed from the generator.
I am not in production of this electrical accessory. I made this for myself, for personal use only. This was built to fit MY wants and needs. I am not telling anyone they should build one for themself, nor am I telling anyone they should copy my design.
GENMAX GM9000iED Best Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Great For Home Backup, or General Use
I purchased this GENMAX GM9000iED dual fuel generator to use as my emergency home backup power source. Of the three or four 9000 – 9500 watt inverter generators on the market (at the time of this video) I feel this model has the most features for the best price. (see below) I chose to use a portable generator for home standby electricity instead of a built-in Generac Guardian, QuietSource, or PowerPact stand-by because I have a fairly small house and I do not require more wattage than the 7600 running watts of this GENMAX. This generator will even start my home central air conditioning A/C condensing unit without a hard start, or Micro Air easy start kit installed. With our power grid in questionable condition, power outages can happen at any time, especially up here with our thunderstorms, lightning storms, ice storms, tornadoes, etc, etc. Even for those who live in hurricane country, this generator is perfect for those emergency grid down situations. Look what happened in Texas last year….. It never hurts to be prepared. For those who rely on a home oxygen concentrator or CPAP machine, extended power outages can be a real problem. Even those “Solar Generators” (basically a battery in a box) can probably only get you by for a few days, at best before you need real power to keep yourself going.
The specs of this generator are…. 120 / 240 volts. it has one 240 volt 30 amp outlet, one 240 volt 50 amp outlet, and two duplex 120 volt GFCI protected outlets. 458cc 4-stroke OHV engine produces 9000 peak watts and 7600 rated watts with 6.9 gallon fuel tank. As Low as 62 dBA Noise with 25%loading at 23 feet distance. CO DETECT Automatically turns off the generator when an unsafe level of carbon monoxide is detected. Low engine oil level shut off
The GENMAX GM9000iED compared to the “tool store” version of this generator…. The GENMAX is quieter! Its rated at 62dB, the tool store generator is rated at 67dB The GENMAX has a full digital multi meter showing power usage, the tool store generator only has an hour meter. The GENMAX has automatic engine choke with remote start, the tool store generator does not. The GENMAX has an engine oil filter screen, the tool store generator does not have any form of engine oil filtration. The GENMAX is dual fuel compatible (gasoline and propane), the tool store generator is only setup to burn gasoline. The GENMAX has a 50 amp receptacle built in so no adapters are needed when plugging in large RVs, The tool store generator does not have this. (And I don’t believe any of the other 9000 watt inverter generators on the market have it, either… at least at the time of this video)
The other 9000 – 9500 watt inverter generators are the DuroMax, the Predator, and the A-I Power. Although, I believe they all advertise the same 7600 running watts.
