What the numbers mean
At 7,500 running watts
on its best fuel, this unit covers a partial-home setup through a 30 A transfer switch or interlock: refrigerator, furnace, a well or sump pump, and lights, with load management for anything bigger.
House hookup: pairs with a 30 A generator inlet (
L14-30) and a transfer switch or interlock
installed by an electrician.
What can the Westinghouse WGen7500 run during an outage?
With 7,500 running watts on its best fuel, the Westinghouse WGen7500 covers a partial-home setup through a 30 A transfer switch or interlock: refrigerator, furnace, a well or sump pump, and lights, with load management for anything bigger. Add up your actual loads with a sizing worksheet — the bands here are rough guidance, not a load calculation.
What inlet does the Westinghouse WGen7500 need to power a house?
A 30 A generator inlet (an L14-30 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.
