Description

The Firman H08051 is powerful and versatile, thanks to its dual-fuel technology that lets it run on both 120V and 240V. When it is running on gasoline, it has a running wattage of 8,000W and a peak wattage of 10,000W. When run by propane, it has a rated power of 7250 watts and a peak power of 9050 watts. The generator has both a simple and elegant pull-start mechanism and an electric starter (battery included). It has a noise level of 74 dBA (A tad noisier than a vacuum cleaner). The H08051, which has a fuel tank that can hold 8 gallons, can run for about 12 hours at 0.5 load with a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption is approximately 0.67 GPH). It can run for about 5 hours if propane is used (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 0.94 GPH). Due to its relatively high THD (25%), the H08051 can’t be used to power sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel has 5 AC outlets: a 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI outlet, a 120V 30A (L5-30R) outlet, a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) outlet, and a 120/240V 50A (14-50R) outlet. Since it has a 14-50R outlet, this Firman unit is ready for an RV with a 50-amp service if you have an RV with 50-amp service. With an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor, its L5-30R plug can also be used to connect a simple RV. The H08051 also has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, which makes it ready for a transfer switch. It is easy to connect to a breaker box and can power your home if the power goes out.

Features

The H08051’s control panel has a handy meter that shows voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours. This makes it easy to keep track of its status and activity. The generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to check how much gas is in the machine. From a safety point of view, the product has a circuit breaker for overload protection and an automatic shut-off for low oil, so you can use it without worry. The Firman H08051 comes with the usual paperwork and an owner’s manual , which lets you start it right away. It also comes with a tool kit, a propane hose, a funnel, and oil.

Mobility

The Firman H08051 has a traditional, open frame that measures L30.2 x W27.5 x H26.3 in, This frame gives it support and lets it be lifted off the ground. The generator is built to work well outside and in rough places. The generator is technically “portable” in the sense that you can move it, but at 212 pounds, it may be hard to move it by hand. But its wheel kit (dia:10) makes up for the fact that it is hard to move around “) and a folding handle that makes it easy to move once it’s on the ground.

The Firman T08072 has 120/240V power and can run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas thanks to its tri-fuel technology. It has a running wattage of 8,000W and a peak wattage of 10,000W when it is powered by gasoline. When it is powered by propane, it has a rated power of 7250 watts and a peak power of 9050 watts. It runs on natural gas and has a rated wattage of 5,500W and a starting wattage of 6,900W. The generator has a noise level of 74 dBA, which is just a little louder than a shower. It has a traditional pull-start mechanism as well as a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). With a fuel capacity of 8 gallons, the T08072 can run for about 12 hours at 0.5 load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption is approximately 0.67 GPH). If propane is used, it can run for about 5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 0.94 GPH). The T08072 can’t be used to power sensitive electronics because its THD is quite high (14%).

Outlets

The control panel has 5 AC outlets: a 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI outlet, a 120V 30A (L5-30R) outlet, a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) outlet, and a 120/240V 50A (14-50R) outlet. Since it has a 14-50R outlet, this Firman unit is ready for an RV with a 50-amp service if you have an RV with 50-amp service. With an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor, its L5-30R plug can also be used to connect a simple RV. The T08072 also has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, which makes it ready for a transfer switch. This means that it can power your home when the power goes out, as it can be easily connected to your breaker box.

Features

On the T08072’s control panel, there is a handy meter that shows voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours so you can keep track of its status and activity. Along with this information, a light lets you know right away if the generator is ready. The generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to find out how much gas is in it. In terms of safety, the generator can be used without worry because it has a circuit breaker for overheating and an automatic shut-off when the oil level gets too low. The T08072 also has Firman’s CO Alert carbon monoxide shutdown, which turns the engine off automatically when harmful levels of carbon monoxide build up around the generator or when a CO Alert fault happens. It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times. The Firman T08072 comes with a funnel, a propane hose, a natural gas hose with an NPT adapter, a tool kit, and oil. It also comes with basic paperwork and an owner’s manual, which will help you start the generator right away.

Mobility

With dimensions of L29.8 x W27.5 x H26.1 in, the Firman T08072 is a traditional, open-frame generator that is stable and can be raised above ground level. This type of design is great for tough environments and heavy outdoor use. Even though this device is technically portable (meaning it can be moved), it weighs 213 pounds and can be hard to move and use without special tools. Still, because of its wheel kit (dia:10 “Once the generator is on the ground, it is easy to move thanks to its wheels and folding handle, which make up for its lack of maneuverability.
