Coleman Power Generator

This Coleman power generator, the ProForce 6,000 is equipped with a 12 HP OHV engine that produces 6,000-watts of running and 7,500-watts of maximum power. Overhead valve (OHV) engine provides improved fuel efficiency, longer life and less maintenance. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) provides precise voltage control. A convenient control panel features two 120-volt duplex outlets and one 10/240-volt 30a locking style outlet, on/off switch and circuit breaker protection.

The 6 gallon gas tank on this Coleman power generator provides 9 hours of run time at 50% load. This unit offers low oil shutdown to help protect the engine. It comes complete with pneumatics wheels and handle to provide easy mobility and is supported by the Powermate Corporation.

The Coleman ProForce generator is fueled by gas and include 120-volt power outlets like the ones in the walls of your home. When the generator is running, you can plug appliances and tools directly into these outlets. Some generators also include 240-volt outlets (that is, the kind of outlet for an electric dryer or for other large appliances).

There are two basic power measurements for generators: peak power (also known as startup power) and continuous power. Both are measured in wattage. Peak power is the wattage required for appliances at startup or when they are running at their highest levels of power consumption. Continuous power is the wattage required for operation of those appliances under normal load.

If you're not planning to hook your Coleman power generator into your home or building's electrical system, there is not a lot of setup involved other than finding a safe place outside your home for the generator. Because portable gas power generators create carbon monoxide, you should never run them inside a building, beneath a window, or near any opening to your house.

Home power generators, sometimes called "home standby generators", have become very popular in recent years with residential homeowners. The home backup power generator is usually installed on a small pad just outside the residence and attached to the home utility power box by means of a automatic transfer switch. When utility power fails the unit is activated and begins powering some or all of the electric circuits in the home, when the utility power resumes the standby generator is disconnected from the home circuits, and it powers-down. Part of the popularity of the backup power generator is due to the high availability of both propane and natural gas fuels in the residential environment.
