Wayne Dohnal (on another thread) stated:
"The Eu 6500 is an inverter gen. It has dual inverters that run in series to give 240V split-phase power, or in parallel for 120V output.
The most current that can be pulled from a single outlet is 30amps"

Must be a hot topic lately!

For the Honda EU 6500iS *50amp solution*,
go to the Escapees HDT forum,
see the thread:

"Review - EU6500iS for my 610"

This page

See the schematic & info for the 50amp setup, second post on that page (Page 3 - of the thread).

However, most smaller generators put out two in-phase line signals. Since these currents ADD when connected to the neutral, you really don't want much more than 50A flowing into the neutral wiring. (On our rig, 60A is possible, but since the wiring runs are so short, I think they can handle the 60A.)


If you look at the wiring between the transfer switch and the distribution panel, you'll likely find that the wiring is rated for 60A or more. This is common when very high rated 120V generators are used on motor homes.

My 7500 gen has a upgraded neutral from the gen set to the ATS to the panel to handle the 62A.
