Zoom on the Pulsar PGD105TiSCO

In summary, the Pulsar PGD105TiSCO is a powerful portable inverter generator especially useful for:

  • Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
  • Camping and tailgating buffs looking to enhance their experience
  • Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the extra features it benefits from.

Power & Run Time

The Pulsar PGD105TiSCO in use

The Pulsar PGD105TiSCO

The Pulsar PGD105TiSCO delivers 120/240V and benefits from a tri-fuel technology that allows it to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When gasoline-powered, it enjoys a running wattage of 8,500W and a peak wattage of 10,500W. When propane-powered, it benefits from 8,000 rated watts and 9,500 peak watts. Its natural gas operation offers 6,800W of rated wattage and 8,400W of starting wattage. Furthermore, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) offers the advantage of increasing power output when connected to another similar or compatible unit, delivering expanded energy capacity and flexibility for various applications.

At a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music), this inverter generator provides the choice between a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism or a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included) for starting. The PGD105TiSCO can also be remotely started, offering further convenience (key fob included).

Regarding its running time, the PGD105TiSCO, with a 6.9 gallons fuel tank, can operate for around 9 hours at 50% load with a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.77 gallons per hour). It also offers around 4.5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.04 GPH) of operation when using propane.

The PGD105TiSCO generates a clean sine wave with <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), ensuring minimal electrical noise and fluctuations. This feature makes it ideal for powering sensitive electronics, providing stable and reliable AC power through the outlets.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 6 AC outlets:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI
120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle
120/240V 50A (14-50R) receptacle

It also sports 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently.

Because the PGD105TiSCO 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

As an inverter generator, the Pulsar PGD105TiSCO showcases a closed design (L31.4 x W22.8 x H29.4 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring quieter operation compared to conventional, open frame models. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.

While technically classified as 'portable' due to its ability to be moved, the 246.9 lbs of this generator make manual lifting and transportation incredibly difficult. However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its set of 2 wheels and its folding handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.

The PGD105TiSCO's control panel

Featuring a digital data center on its control panel, the PGD105TiSCO offers you convenient access to essential information about the frequency, voltage, power output and lifetime run hours, facilitating effective monitoring of its activity and status.

In addition to this info, when the generator is overloaded, the oil level is too low and the generator is ready, you will be informed by the featured light indicators.

Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.

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

While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the Pulsar PGD105TiSCO, the following accessories are also included: natural gas hose with NPT adapter, propane hose, tool kit, key fob and oil.

The Pulsar PGD105TiSCO versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Pulsar PGD105TiSCO compare to multi-fuel generators of similar power (between 8000 and 9000 W).

  • With its weight of 246.9 lbs, the Pulsar PGD105TiSCO is one of the heaviest multi-fuel generators in the 8000-9000 rated wattage category. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the Pulsar PGL9000BCO with only 149 pounds.
  • With a noise rating as low as 62 dBA, this inverter generator is among the quieter options available in its type and power range. For those who are looking for a less noisy device, we suggest the DuroMax XP11000iH. With just 61 dBA, it is one of the most quiet devices in this power range.
  • As for its autonomy, the PGD105TiSCO, with an autonomy of around 9 hours at a 50% load, is placed on the low end among the generators of its kind. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the Champion 100416, as it provides around 12.5 hours.
  • Run time is crucial, but it heavily relies on the fuel tank's capacity. Thus, considering fuel efficiency alongside is essential. When operating at 50% load, the inverter generator's fuel consumption is estimated at 0.77 GPH, placing it within the average range of gasoline usage among similarly powerful devices. If not satisfied with the afore-mentioned fuel consumption, you may wish to check out the Powerhorse s10500id. With a fuel consumption of as little as 0.59 GPH, it is one of the most efficient generators currently on the market.

Price comparison

As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 8000-9000W multi-fuel generators, the Pulsar PGD105TiSCO is on the expensive side of the price range.

While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it would most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
