My Iota 55am power supply under a full 55amp load pulls about 850. More importantly, my Iota will frequently deliver in excess of that 55amps for short periods of time and draw over 900. I'm currently using a Honda 1000watt generator without any problems.<BR><BR><BR>Mark Atwood<BR>Paragon Consulting, Inc. | President<BR>5885 Landerbrook Drive Suite 130, Cleveland Ohio, 44124<BR>Phone: <A rel=nofollow>440.684.3101 x102</A> | Fax: <A rel=nofollow>440.684.3102</A><BR><A href="http://us.mc1254.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=mark.atwood@paragon-inc.com" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:mark.atwood@paragon-inc.com">mark.atwood@paragon-inc.com</A><mailto:<A

I have a small 2-stroke 800W generator from Harbor Freight but not sure how to tell how many Watts I need to power the Luminex supply. Volt x Amps=Watts? So, can I draw the conclusion that something that puts out 55 Amps at 13.4 Volts needs 737 Watts input?<BR><BR>Thanks y'all,<BR>Scott<BR><BR>--<BR>Scott A.
