How does a generator engine work?

The generator engine is the primary source of power and converts fuel into mechanical energy through components such as crankshaft, camshafts, cylinders, spark plugs, and pistons. The control panel facilitates control of the generator and offers functions related to noise reduction, electrical safety, and environmental protection.

How does a Wen generator work?

So even though (on some WEN generators) the propane line bypasses the carburetor bowl and goes straight into the intake (between the choke and throttle), the jet still adjusts the air mixture to compensate. At very high altitudes, your generator may experience a loss of power, even with the high-altitude kit installed.

Where can I find a Wen generator serial number?

WEN generators' serial numbers can be found in one of a couple of places : Next to the oil dipstick, engraved on the side of the crankcase. On the main specifications label (certain models). This label is usually on the side or top of the generator, on the frame, or on the fuel tank.

How do I choose a generator?

Make sure the extension cord (if being used) is rated to handle the device's power requirements (consult your owner's manual), and that the generator itself is rated to handle the device's power requirements (see our helpful guide to selecting a generator for more information, as well as your owner's manual).

Are Wen generators magnetically shielded?

No. WEN generators are not magnetically- or RFI-shielded in any way. The generator may be creating broadcast interference (electromagnetic field created as electricity is generated) and/or transmitted interference (created by the ignition system and passed though the inverter board).

Does a Wen inverter generator produce pure sine waves?

All WEN inverter generators produce pure sine waves. Total harmonic distortion (THD) on WEN generators is usually better than line power (what you get from a household outlet). You can also check out our handy article on THD for more information.
