What the numbers mean
At 11,500 running watts
on its best fuel, this unit covers most household circuits through an appropriately sized transfer switch; central air conditioning typically needs load management or a soft starter.
Runs on gasoline, propane, natural gas — expect lower output on propane (roughly
10%) and natural gas (roughly 20%) than on gasoline; the spec table shows the
published per-fuel ratings.
House hookup: pairs with a 50 A generator inlet (
14-50 / CS6365) and a transfer switch or interlock
installed by an electrician.
What can the Westinghouse WGen11500TFc Tri-Fuel run during an outage?
With 11,500 running watts on its best fuel, the Westinghouse WGen11500TFc Tri-Fuel covers most household circuits through an appropriately sized transfer switch; central air conditioning typically needs load management or a soft starter. Add up your actual loads with a sizing worksheet — the bands here are rough guidance, not a load calculation.
Does the Westinghouse WGen11500TFc Tri-Fuel have a CO safety shutoff?
Yes — the Westinghouse WGen11500TFc Tri-Fuel has a built-in carbon monoxide sensor that shuts the engine down when CO accumulates around the unit. It is a backstop, not a substitute for running the generator outdoors at least 20 feet from the house.
What inlet does the Westinghouse WGen11500TFc Tri-Fuel need to power a house?
A 50 A generator inlet (a 14-50 or CS6365 connection) wired to a transfer switch or interlock kit — an electrician's job that normally requires a permit. Never backfeed through a dryer or wall outlet.
