Danny, that's like a site generator, will be massive, loud as fook (like pitting near Butch's one ), use a shed load of fuel etc.

Sack off the heater idea and get a smaller one, anything up to 1KW will be PLENTY. You might even get your hair straighteners to work on it

Talking of Ellis, as he is some kind of bod in electrics, he always quotes to me what a certain rated generator can supply in terms of amps, etc... Can't remember though - sorry!

With all these generators running next year, staying warm wont be a problem - it will be the fumes!!!!

watt diveded by volts = amps, so 1000 watts div by 250 volts = 4 amps

dont think thats what will supply your chrger though as thats 4 amps on a 250 mains output

At 12v a 1kv generator should easily supply approx 75 amps by my calculation. ( I think its watts/volts = amps)
Someone please shoot me if i'm wrong

i like that little genny just buy 4 stroke more reliable pref honda lump 2.6 kva is a piss pot genny just been to the power station twin 500megawatts now that should be ok pipe

Both myself and Ellis use the Kipor 980 camp mate.

Off one generator we once ran 5 power supplys with 2 chargers on each one and it was fine with 4 of us charging off it.

At Nationals 1 run 1 14amp power supply, 2 lrp chargers, soldering iron, motor dyno, desk fan and my laptop and it uses 5 litres of fuel over the weekend.

Ellis ran 2 10amp power supplys with chargers, his laptop and a 500watt skirting board heater through the winter.

[tyreman]

The Kipor 980 are hard to find at a reasonable price at the moment, but if you spend a little more £219 will get you this posted.

I have heard the SIP medusa hunts quite a lot. Which is apprently reflected in it's out put. I am sttering cler of this one.

B&Q one seems to have been a clearance item, appears that they have none left.

I have found Aldi has one, I will be checking this out Monday.

You can find Kipor 980 on ebay for £150 plus £10 p&p if you look hard enough
