My Generator, Troy-Bilt model 030477, has a starting Wattage of 10,500 Watts and Running Wattage of 7,000 Watts. Will this Cord handle the load ?

At the rated load yes but it won't carry 10, 500 watts. 30 amps at 240volts is 7, 200 watts. If you're determined to get more than that you'll need multiple lines or a higher amp receptacle on your generator. If your generator has a 4 prong twist lock 30 amp receptacle and 240 volt output this is the right cord.

It should handle the load 7000w/240v=29.16A you're right at the upper limit.

I'm not an expert but I don't think this thing draws hardly any watts or amps etc. I lost my instruction booklet because half of the unit stopped working and MinnKota said it can't be fixed. I kept it to use as a trickle charger for cars, boats etc. I would think almost any generator would make this charger work. It' basically a trickle charger so it's gonna run your generator a long time to charge a battery a battery. You might want a more powerful charger depending on your use to shorten the generator run time..

Yes, if the generator is a 7000 watt running / 9000 watt surge champion generator it will have an L14-30 twist lock 30amp outlet.

Depends on the cord individual generator and equipment. The only true way is to first use a good surge protector and a voltage gauge to Meyer it first

You can use a 10000 watt generator if you want, but you can only run 1875 watts through the switch. Think of it as an extension cord, you can plug in a light duty cord into any size generator, put you can only pull a limited amount of power through the cord- it's rated wattage.

Andrew,I'm not sure why it says that but I have a cord running to mine from the 15 amp plug of the generator. My generator is a champion 4000 w. I have also just bought one for my in-laws also. It's well made and alot easier than the splice job I had to do during Sandy.Tim

Not sure but I have a 8000 / 10000 watt gen. I run 3000 Watts from the gen itself and 6000 Watts goes through the cord. Never had a problem.

After installing & using this switch for my 5000 watt generator, I feel confident in saying yes, it would handle it. The lead wire(s) that go from the generator to the unit are all 10 guage. From there the current gets distributed to 6 separate breakers - so there's no overload anywhere. In my opinion this thing is a serious piece of equipment and is built for the real world. However, I am not an electrician, & would recommend that you consult one before making a final decision.

on a 1500 watt unit it will handle only about 1200 watt load. my opinion is that what you are asking it to do, it won"t do it.

I think it will be under rated. Look at your generator's manual and see what they recommend.I am sure it would be #8 wire or bigger if you are going to be running a load at 8000 watts.http://www.generatorgrader.com/extension-cords-portable-generators/

The Conntek 20602 50-Foot 10/4 extension cord should safely carry up to 30 Amps, which is 7200 Watts at 240 VAC. Most generators of this size have a matching 30 A outlet that has a circuit breaker limiting the outlet to 7200 Watts. The "remaining" 300 W capacity can only be used through other outlets on the generator, perhaps for lights or a small power tool.

I have a 7500 watt generac and have run at full capacity. This is an awesome switch and should work for you

Your generator will only put out 41 amps at full load no matter how many 30amp receptacles you have. The more items you use in your RV at the same time the more amps you will use, up to 41 amps max.

Hello Connie, For this application it is a little to small you will not be able to rev your generator well and you will find it slightley under powered. I would recommend a larger regulator. it works fine on my 6500 Watt but I normally do not use it at full capacity.

Yes, the heavier the cord, the more power the unit will be able to use. Make sure the cord is rated for at least 10 amps for best results.

I 've got a 6500 wt. generator and this works fine. That's what is recomended for your generator.

I use two of these cords plugged together on a 7000 watt Toro generator with a 10500 watt surge. It runs at 85% capacity with my central air on with no problem.
