    MEP-802A and MEP-803A fuel consumption

    I do think with a little load management a 5kw would do it. If you would rather not sweat load management then the 803 is what you want. I can relate to it being a tough choice. It was the same for me and I went with the larger unit. With what I know now from running it on the house I may have...

    MEP-802A and MEP-803A fuel consumption

    Food for thought. I tested the MEP831a and even though it is only 3kw it started my 3/4hp well pump without any problem at all. The base demand on the house at the time was about 600w and the running wattage for the pump itself was about 700w. The inrush on the pump is about 40 amps...

    MEP-802A and MEP-803A fuel consumption

    These are brushless alternators so they have low THD. You'll have no issues with the cleanliness of the power. If you want an extra layer of protection you can put the stove on a line interactive sine wave UPS.
