A Guide on Parallel Generators

Parallel Generators: How to Run Two Generators Together

When your power needs outgrow a single generator, running parallel generators can be a cost-effective solutio and will boost your power capacity. Here's how to do it right with DuroMax Power Equipment.

Why Use Parallel Generators?

Parallel generators allow you to double your power output without needing a massive, expensive generator. This setup offers several key advantages:

  • Cost Savings: Two smaller units are often more affordable than one large generator.
  • Portability: Easier to transport and store compared to one bulky machine.
  • Reduced Noise: Running two smaller generators typically produces less noise than a high-capacity unit.
  • Increased Flexibility: Use your existing generator and pair it with a compatible unit to enhance output.

Choosing the Right DuroMax Generator for Parallel Use

When selecting a second generator to pair with your existing one, keep the following in mind:

  1. Parallel Capabilities: Check the model specifications to ensure it supports parallel operation.
  2. Matching Output: The voltage and frequency ratings should be compatible between both units.
  3. Fuel Type: Make sure both generators use the same fuel (gasoline, propane, or dual fuel).
  4. Ventilation and Portability: Choose units that are easy to move and have proper cooling features.

DuroMax offers a range of inverter generators with parallel capabilities, designed to be compact, efficient, and reliable.

How to Run DuroMax Parallel Generators
