Looking to run a 240v/6000 watt gen at 100 feet. I know there will be some loss but anyone seeing a significant drop in voltage?

Go to www.calculator.net, search for voltage drop and see table. Fill in wire size, voltage, power, and it will give you the drop over 100 feet.

Dear Sheila,Thanks for your interest! Since we ship out of many locations across the US, it'd be of great help to us if you could provide an ASIN for the 220-240 version. Are they currently for sale on Amazon? If they are, I'll gladly check our stores for the higher voltage version you desire. Sometimes items haven't been listed for sale yet, so you never know. Thanks!

I would be cautious of the length of the run and the environment. I had issues getting picture, but it was because I had to run right next to ac voltage. When I ran test leads that were separated it worked very well. I had no choice but to run next to the ac so I had to use a much more expensive single cat6 balun instead. If you don't have issues with electric you should be fine.

As others have answered, for safety you're good; more so since "starting" is a short duration event. Functionally, 25 feet is about 50 milliohms, round-trip, so line drop is under 2 volts (0.05 ohms * 35A). This means that the contribution to voltage-drop is minimal. That can be critical with compressors and pumps.

Sorry about the delay. I deleted all amazon email thinking it was all junk.Didn't see this until I was deleting stuff from my phone. I dont' think it will work on 240. There is no switch to allow changing between 120 and 240v.

To date I have not used mine. I am hoping to change 110 to 240 power, but not sure when I will get time to work with it.

I have the same setup on my travel trailer - two Trojan 6 volt in series, for 12 volts total. Just took it camping this weekend, with no hookups and went 3 days without having to run a generator. We used a small laptop, our house water pump, fridge, and furnace ran all three nights as well. Something to keep in mind is that all of my lights have been switched to led, and it was only slightly cloudy for us. I never bothered to check my actual voltage, but my stock wall meter was typically at 1/2 to 3/4 in the a.m., and full by sunset.Hope this helps

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.

Neilson, you need to use a converter to downgrade your 250v to 110-120v. Make sure you buy a decent one so that output is constant; otherwise, you can damage the unit.

No Problem. The system monitors both incoming mains. 120V devices run off one of these, plus the neutral. Their consumption is monitored by the clamp on that main. 240V devices involve both mains, and get monitored by both clamps.

From 240V to 110V, you loose 1/4 of your power. Running at 110 would produce 1375W and draw 12.5A.

Interesting Question... In the USA power is supposed to be 60 Hz and 110 to 125 VRMS. The voltage can vary in this range due to loading, but it's generally pretty stable around 120 VRMS (your own results may vary). Now the frequency is a different matter. In the USA the frequency is pretty stable. I doubt it's as low as 59.9 Hz or as high as 60.1 (this stability is not the case in some other countries). Now a generator is governed to run at 3600 RPM (60 Hz) but the stability is not that great. I wouldn't be surprised to see +/- 2 Hz (4 Hz range). Many appliances won't care and run fine. But there will likely be some that are finnikie. Old analog clocks actually kept time with respect to this frequency (You'd be hard pressed to find one today). Some TVs may be designed to use the 60Hz line frequency for the frame rate signal. I don't think todays flat screens use this, but maybe... I just haven't looked into it. Bottom line is that when running off a generator, your line frequency will not be as stable. It could be a problem on some appliances. Still, Most things will run just fine. I've run my house off my generator and everything worked just fine. I did have an old TV (2004 vintage) that complained about the frequency being out of range. I just ignored it. It seemed to work most of the time, (but not always) but It didn't seem to damage anything. When I went back to grid power, everything work again without any problems.

I would use a high grade for 100-150 feet, electrical requires thicker wire the longer the run if you will

I am using a 60w bulb; I can't imagine you'd have any problem with 75-100w.

You should have no problems with your setup. The Sun-600G starts working when it detects 22V. I have 3 units working without any issues for a year already. Good luck with your project !

No - I would not run this product on 240V. You could buy a converter - but a 1000W model would be more expensive than just buying a 240V heater.

Hello data guy, This converter has matched the voltage and sine wave of what we normally get from the powercompany. Before purchasing, check with your power and insurance company about any liability on your part.One note of caution. My first try connecting two 250 watt panels was a disaster. The voltage was 60 vdc inputand the electronics couldn't handle it. Worked a short time then fried. Keep input dc voltage down.
