Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. -
Page 20: Use Of Extension Cords
6 Operation Use of extension cords When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. - Page 21 6 Operation Minimum Extension cord Size 230V Volts Total length of cords in meters 230V 0 – 30 30 – 60 Amp rating Cross sectional area of wire in mm 0.75 Minimum Extension cord Size 400V 400V Amp rating Section of cord mm Max fuse Minimum Extension Cord Size Graph...
