euro vs us inverters

Yes, you can fully adjust the output voltage from a U.S. 240v to EU 220v, and set the output frequency from 60Hz to 50Hz.

Thank goodness. I am somewhat confused. Is the US 240v single phase with two 120v each? and the European 220v just one 220v? Also can I use a step up/down transformer if I take my US 240v inverter and use on US and European equipment?

Here's the basic output of a split-phase inverter and it's relation to the transformer design:

You can ignore the Neutral line if you just want 240v single-phase.  With a GS inverter set up for split-phase output (standard), you shouldn't need a step up/down transformer--you can power 110/120v loads off of one phase (or the other).  220/240v loads can be powered off the total output.  And of course, you can adjust the output voltage between 110/120v per half phase (220/240 total output) from the settings.

So basically the European 220v is base solely of two 110v whereas the US 220/240v is tased of either two 110v or 120v?

What is the lead time on a 8,000w inverter?

We have stock of 6kw inverters right now, with 12kw inverters planned.  It's just Sean in the shop, so it may take a week or 2 to ship out...as he tries to juggle homestead life, personal life, PJ repair work, GS inverters...

Could be, though if the EU doesn't use 110v at all, their transformers will simply omit the center tap ("neutral").  U.S. runs most appliances on 120v, with larger appliances calling for 240v.

where can I review the specs for the 6kw and purchase?

On this site you can order one I think the specs are on here two

There is lots of videos on YouTube of sean testing and running  the GS 6k inverter

It will do 6k as long as the temp in room is at or below 100 degrees 

Sean runs one that had the safety limit turned of at 8k on a video 

He also started a window ac when already running 4or5k

  I am just a customer i happen to see your question 

You will like the GS inverter 

Thank you there Ben. What is the safest wattage to run the say 6kw inverter? The power jack says 6kw surges at 12kw but continuous at 3kw. What is with these numbers?

Well, first of all...PJ ratings really don't mean anything.  GS inverters are tested to the listed ratings, and we know they are capable of handling the advertised load.

Thanks Sid. I just watched your video from may 30th. I think I'll stick with the 80% rule you mentioned. Where are the specs listed for the genetry inverters?

Sean likes to run the 6kw inverter at redline for hours on end--and they handle it with aplomb.  6kw continuous 24/7 shouldn't be a problem. 

Surge is uncharacterized--actually, we're kinda looking to try to figure out just how much surge his 3 ton A/C unit pulls.  We know a single 6kw GS inverter starts it without hesitation, but I don't know what the absolute peak surge there is...

Enough serge to get your jollies off. I mean to be able to start a AC with 77A start up while running other stuff. thats crazy.  I bet his battery screams when it does that though.
