In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.

Power & Run Time

The Pulsar PG13000TRCO

The Pulsar PG13000TRCO delivers 120/240V and boasts with a tri-fuel technology enabling it to utilize gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When powered by gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 10,200W and a peak wattage of 13,000W. Upon using propane, it gains 9,200 rated watts and 11,500 peak watts. Its operation with natural gas provides 8,160W of rated wattage and 10,500W of starting wattage.

The generator, rated for a noise of 81 dBA (just slightly more noisy than garbage disposal), provides flexibility in starting, offering both a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism and a user-friendly and efficient electric starter (battery included). To add further convenience, the PG13000TRCO can be remotely started (key fob included).

In terms of its run time capability, the PG13000TRCO, furnished with a 8 gallons fuel tank, can maintain operations for around 7.5 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 1.07 gallons per hour). It also provides around 3 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.57 GPH) of operation with propane.

Outlets

The control panel features the upcoming 6 AC outlets:

Furthermore, it has 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output with which charging your batteries is made easy.

If your RV requires a 50-amp service, consider this Pulsar unit RV-ready, as it includes a 14-50R outlet. In addition, because the PG13000TRCO is equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it can power your home during a power outage, as it can be easily connected to your breaker box to power your household.

Portability

Measuring L29.7 x W25.4 x H25.8 in, the classic open frame construction of the Pulsar PG13000TRCO provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.

Despite its weight of 216 lbs, the generator is still considered 'portable,' meaning it is movable, although its heftiness may restrict portability in certain environments or require additional considerations for transportation and setup. However, the lack of maneuverability can be offset with its wheel kit (⌀12") and its folding handle, which allows for convenient shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.

Features

The PG13000TRCO's control panel

The PG13000TRCO's control center features a convenient meter, offering voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours readings to aid you with the monitoring of its status and activity.

The generator allows for a quick, easy and convenient assessment of its gas level, as it is equipped with a built-in fuel gauge.

From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during operation.

The unit also benefits from Pulsar's CO Sentry carbon monoxide detection. The sensor monitors for the accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator, and shuts down the engine is increasing levels of CO gas are detected.

Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the Pulsar PG13000TRCO ships with supplementary accessories: tool kit, natural gas hose with NPT adapter, propane hose, key fob and funnel.
