Check resistance of rotor, field, and stator windings.

Typical Microwaves pull 700-1000 (6-8-amps)

No, you can't do any of that. A 60 amp breaker would allow the microwave to burn first before the breaker tripped. This is an easy job for an electrician to do, get it done to code specs. It is worth having it done right for a couple of hundred bucks that burning the hose down or turning all the earth points into a voltage sink.

Onan units have a breaker switch on them that has to be in the right position or you get no power. Can't tell you for sure where it is on the 4500 but on the 4000 RV series it is tucked in behind the on board start switch

Hello,

It does sound like your fuel pump is having issues, or the relay that controls the pump is the culprit.

If you have one, put a multimeter across the fuel pump wires. Start the generator, you should have 12volts when trying to start, as well as when the generator is running. If you dont, then you are looking at a control relay failure. If you do have the 12volts, wait for the generator to start surging, and monitor the voltage. If it stays at 12, then you are looking at a failed pump.

If you post the Onan Model / Spec / Serial number, I may be able to find a service manual for you.

Alternately, • Turn-off all lights first.Run your pump or water start motor. • When the motor is running,Turn on the lights , one at a time.

It is necessary to pay attention to the problem of uniform distribution of load power among generators in parallel. The parallel operation of diesel generator sets should first meet the requirements of uniform power distribution. The uniform distribution of power includes active power and reactive power.

I would look on the refrigerator for a nameplate with that info.

7500

what make of engine is in it plug specs are on a decal somewhere around the plug or in the operators manual search -- operators manual for powermate generators -- as the engines will all run the same plug for that make of engine

call a technician to diagnose the problem could be a faulty thermostat or low on gas

Usually what that means is that the genset Configuration is not set correctly you will need to bring it to a factory authorized service center for them to correct this.

need to know voltage to determine watts the answer is printed on the side of the compressor

understand that the advertised capacity is not the real capacity of a gen set The 3.5 kv is max for a short time and that is in reality full load of around 2.8 kv full time rated load Black smoke is over fueling and as you cannot mention if petrol or diesel then the problems can be very different for petrol it is choke ,blocked air filter if diesel it is bad injector, pump out of calibration or incorrect injection timing

problems do not do it

Eighty watts is constant regardless of what voltage you pick. So get a eighty watt twelve volt motor. Satisfy the wireing requirements for whichever motor satisfies your heart.
HP = torque x rpm / 5252. = 746 watts
You do your own juggling with your known values. All you give is 80 W.

hi check that the voltage regulator is in good working order, check insure the governor is free from dirt and that the retainer light spring is not fouling , and check the volcanizing elements are not shot circuiting or the insulation is braking down
