I was going to ask that question about the gen unit too....are the windings big enough to allow 70% overcurrent for 3 sec. without voltage sag and popping breakers

(Kiddingly, i was going to suggest using a slo-blow fuse!)

I wrote to Bill directly, but will post to the group.

"Momentary" power is specified with some generator units.

Kohler's diesel 10 kW gen set supplied 300% rated current for up to 10 seconds.

Generac did not give a spec.

So.... your mileage varies!
