A: For a 6000 Watt alternator the engine powering it should have at least 13.0 HP.
Q: Is it permissible to put the alternator into operation at an RPM level equal to - or greater than - 3600?
A: The alternator’s internal components will be damaged when the alternator is operated in excess of 3600RPM as it is beyond its set limitations.
Q: What is the procedure for plugging appliances into the alternator?
A: While linking appliances, you should properly insert the plugs into the output sockets but ensure never to exceed the alternators rated wattage or amperage.
