Zoom on the Predator 13000
In short, the Predator 13000 is a powerful portable generator adequately designed for:
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
Power & Run Time
The Predator 13000 delivers 120/240V and is equipped with a tri-fuel technology, enabling it to operate on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When powered by gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 10,000W and a peak wattage of 13,000W. Switching to propane provides 9,100 rated watts and 12,000 peak watts, while natural gas operation delivers 7,800W of rated wattage and 10,000W of starting wattage.
The generator, rated for a noise of 78.5 dBA (less noisy than a dishwasher), provides flexibility in starting, offering both a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism and a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included). Furthermore, for added convenience, the 13000 offers remote starting capabilities (key fob included).
In terms of running time, the 13000, equipped with a 10.7-gallon fuel tank, is capable of running continuously for around 12.1 hours at 50% load on a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.88 gallons per hour). When utilizing propane, it provides around 3.2 hours (on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 1.47 GPH) of operation.
The powering of sensitive electronic devices with the 13000 is not recommended due to its high THD (<23%).
Outlets
The control panel features the following 7 AC outlets:
While not classified as ‘RV Ready,’ this Predator generator can still provide the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the 13000 is configured to transfer switch-ready, allowing a straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
Thanks to its closed design (L30.3 x W29.2 x H27.2 in), the Predator 13000 has an esthetical advantage over conventional, open-frame devices. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.
Despite its 226 lbs, the generator falls under the category of ‘portable,’ signifying its movability, although its weight may hinder easy portability. However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its wheel kit (⌀10″) and its folding handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
The control panel of the 13000 includes a convenient meter, showing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours metrics, helpful for the monitoring of its status and activity.
In addition to this info, the device’s light indicator will display if the oil level is too low.
With its built-in fuel gauge, the generator provides quick and convenient gas level checks.
From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during operation.
The unit also benefits from the Predator’s CO SECURE™ carbon monoxide detection. This system monitors the accumulation of CO gas while the generator is running and will shut off the engine if the levels become dangerously high.
