KOHLER GEN SET - vs - DOCK POWER
Heres a little question - - > 7.5 KW Kohler gasoline gen set / Professional Mariner battery charger / 120 AC dock power... and their power supplies available during use of multiple electric items
USING GEN SET:
- Battery charger turned on alone displays charging at approx 13.45 across the battery bank
- Soon as another item such as the hot water heater or stove are also turned on while battery charger is still turned on the charging DROPS BELOW 12.55 across the battery bank
USING DOCK POWER:
- Battery charger turned on alone displays charging at approx 13.45 across the battery bank
- While another item such as the hot water heater or stove are also turned on while battery charger is still turned on the charging STAYS AT 13.45 across the battery bank
QUESTION:
When powered by the gen set and other items are turned on while battery charger is on... is the reduced charging number simply due to the gen sets natural inability to handle both power draws simultaneously; so called spreading the load? Therefore, does that mean reduced power is also provided to the other items that are on if more than any one item is used at the same time with the gen set? Is that the natural course of events with a gen set? BTW, the gen set is well tuned, always starts immediately, and runs perfectly smooth; including initially lowered rpm upon new item loads being turned on and then it basically resumes rpm.
Or... does it mean there is some type of oncoming gen set electric output problem I should begin to keep my eyes open for?
Your input is always appreciated!
Thanks, Art
