What size generator Do I need?

True.. "by the numbers".. but actual metered output is slightly lower with nearly all portable inverter types. There's a bit lost to "overhead" within the unit that you never see.

 

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what the 10 minute iAVR (surge) is on a 3000, but I would think it would probably be somewhere in the 3200-3300 watt range for a stand-alone, but iAVR and max output modes won't be available when running in parallel.

I guess you need to read the post I was responding to...... ?

 

Just one 3000 watt generator should give you 27 amps.

3000 watts, divided by 120V = 25A

 

But that is peak and most portable generators will not run continuously at their peak power output.
