Simpson SPG8310E Portable Gas Generator 10000 Watt Electric Start CRX 460 Engine 6.6 Gallon Tank for Home Backup RV Jobsite

Description

Simpson SPG8310E Overview

The Simpson SPG8310E is an electric-start gasoline portable generator producing 10,000 starting watts and 8,300 running watts, powered by a commercial-grade 459cc CRX 460 engine. Its surge capacity is aimed at starting demanding appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators, while the steady running output keeps tools and electronics supplied. It is intended for emergency home backup, large recreational vehicles and busy construction sites.

Starting is by key, with a recoil pull as backup; the 12V-14AH battery that electric start requires is not included. A powder-coated steel roll cage shields the critical components, and a folding handle with 10-inch never-flat wheels helps the 207-pound unit cross rough ground on job sites and campgrounds. The 6.6-gallon tank supplies up to 9 hours at 25% load. Every outlet on the panel is GFCI protected, and a low-oil sensor shuts the engine off before damage can occur. The generator meets emissions standards for 49 states, excluding California, and has a 3-year limited consumer warranty. When it serves as home backup, a quality surge protector strip, or a transfer switch that includes surge protection, helps even out the small voltage changes that happen when big loads like a well pump or air conditioner switch on and off.
