Of course not, I don't think the person asking about running a hot tub was referring to a 28vdc generator.

I’ve got a 5kw load bank that’s Honda branded, but was made by Sotcher Measurement.
Definitely in consumer size.

Very nice load bank.
Looks like I have the same 25kw generator I purchased in 1999 which has very few hours on it branded Generac but tan in color.

I bought this L70 Yanmar special mil spec diesel years ago for a long run unattended operation.
It has an extended sump & bypass filter for 500 hour unattended run times.
It is mated to a 5kw generator.
Quite unique so I had to have it!!

90Cummins, nice engine, not sure what the tech is behind "soft gears" but
I bet it runs smoothly. They promote fuel efficiency, what is the gpm
under full load? A gallon of diesel may go a long time.
two gens is belt and suspenders. Three gens is having fun

I have never seen another like it.
Apparently very limited production & use.
Not show in literature are the two intake grid style (Cummins) style intake air heaters that permit subzero starting which I verified and posted on utube.
The following link should bring you to some videos of testing I’ve done in past. Not all pertain to generators.
I have fuel consumption details of past testing and will post if/when I find them.

Fired up the generator in the 5th wheel last night. Had to spin it 4 times I think. It finally caught & ran fine. Hadn't started it since the fall & we have a foot of snow falling today. Wanted to exercise it & make sure it was working if we loose power.
