Frequently Asked Questions
How many watts does the WINCO EC25000XE-18 produce?
The WINCO EC25000XE-18 produces 25,000 starting watts and 20,000 running watts. This model supplies 277/480V three-phase electrical power and delivers approximately 30 running amps at 480V. Its substantial electrical capacity makes it suitable for compatible industrial motors, compressors, pumps, commercial equipment, and other demanding three-phase applications.
What is the difference between the WINCO EC25000XE-18 and EC25000XE-17?
The primary difference between these two generators is their three-phase voltage configuration. The WINCO EC25000XE-18 supplies 277/480V three-phase power, while the EC25000XE-17 provides 120/240V three-phase power. Both models produce 25,000 starting watts and 20,000 running watts and use the CRX1000 industrial engine. The EC25000XE-18 delivers approximately 30 running amps at 480V, while the EC25000XE-17 delivers approximately 60 running amps at 240V. Choosing the correct generator depends on the voltage and phase requirements of the equipment being powered.
What types of equipment can the WINCO EC25000XE-18 power?
The EC25000XE-18 is designed for commercial and industrial equipment requiring compatible 277/480V three-phase electrical service.
