I have a 3000w wet/dry vac 240v to use for guttervac what size of generator should I use for this? :Image11:

 
A powerful one!

I had a gutter system which I have got rid of, it was only 1400w and not up to the job.

I ran that off of a honda 20i generator which is 2000w.

 
at least a 5kva
I asked shop selling generators and they said 6kva Smurf but I thought they just might be trying to get me to spend more money :Image15:
 
I too will have a 3kw guttervac, as for the generator, if you Baught a 3kw generator, they only output about 2.8kw, so you would be better with a 4kw generator,

My dad recommends the Honda engine ones.

You can pick them up on flea bay for about 300-400 quid brand spank.

Being in N.Ireland cuts down what I can get on flea bay Andykarlaxxx due to delivery but I like the sound of a honda engine generator
 
So do you use a 4 kva to run a 3000 wet/dry vac as the conversion works out at 3200 watts?

Every genny states the max constant output so I would be very suprised if it would be anygood myself.

4kw gens - max output on the Honda generators are 3500watts, perfect for a 3kw wet/dry vac I would have thought myself?

 
Have any of yous used a kohler or loncin or know anyone who has,seen on tv a lot of honda fakes out there

 
The Honda generators, they don't necessarily have to be Honda manufacturer, but they have Honda engines in so mechanics affix them in no time
