tony tt Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Even at full revs it wouldnt come close mate. 8kva is a hell of a lot of juice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 8kva are you sure? That is a lot of power The lightweight field generators we use in the British forces are only 2 kva which ain't light by no means lol and we use generators that range from 5 kva upwards, and I've got an 8kva at work and it's a hefty lump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
