many appliances to any one circuit, the internal electronics in the AuraGen ECU will do the same.
Please use caution when connecting appliances/tools that have high start-up amperage. Verify
with the manufacturer to make sure the peak current surge will not exceed your specific AuraGen’s
capabilities.
POWER = VOLTAGE X CURRENT

CURRENT CAPACITY = POWER
VOLTAGE
Each of the three output circuits can individually supply up to 21 amps of output current, but you
cannot draw the maximum current from all three output circuits at the same time. The
total output power from all three circuits cannot exceed the rated output of the G5000 which is
6,000 watts for up to 20 minutes (standby). If your AuraGen model is a G8500, you can produce
up to 8,000 watts of AC power continuous or 8,500 watts for up to 20 minutes (standby). When
using the AuraGen system, be careful not to overload any of the output circuits individually, or the
system as a whole. To determine your AuraGen model’s power capabilities, see the AuraGen
System Specifications on pages 20 through 28.
If in the event that the ECU automatically shuts down the system because of a prolonged overload, the system can be reset from the AuraGen Control Panel.
