- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.
Power & Run Time
The Pulsar PGD125TiSRCO delivers 120/240V and features a tri-fuel technology, granting it the capability to utilize gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When utilizing gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 10,000W and a peak wattage of 12,500W. Upon switching to propane, it benefits from 9,000 rated watts and 11,250 peak watts. Transitioning to natural gas operation provides 8,000W of rated wattage and 10,000W of starting wattage. In addition, the device is parallel capable (PGiPAIRB4 parallel kit (opens in a new tab) not included) and thus, can be linked to a similar or compatible unit for added power.
The inverter generator, rated for a noise of 66 dBA (less noisy than an office), provides flexibility in starting, offering both a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism and a straightforward and intuitive electric starter (battery included). For additional convenience, the PGD125TiSRCO may also be remotely started (key fob included).
In terms of its run time capability, the PGD125TiSRCO, furnished with a 6.9 gallons fuel tank, can maintain operations for around 7 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.99 gallons per hour). It also provides around 3.5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.34 GPH) of operation with propane.
The PGD125TiSRCO ensures a clean sine wave output, boasting <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to protect your sensitive electronics when connected to its AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel features 6 AC outlets as follows:
It also sports 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) with which charging of electronics like mobile phones and tablets is made convenient.
As it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the PGD125TiSRCO is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household. The unit also features an ATS plug, which makes it compatible with automatic transfer switches.
Portability
The Pulsar PGD125TiSRCO is distinguished by its enclosed inverter generator design (L31.4 x W22.8 x H29.4 in), providing improved aesthetics and quieter performance compared to traditional, open frame units. The featured design follows the latest trends and is ideal for easy and recreational use.
With a weight of 247 lbs, the generator is still labeled as 'portable,' denoting its ability to be moved, although its heaviness might restrict easy portability. Nonetheless, the limited maneuverability is compensated for by utilizing its set of 2 wheels and its folding handle, which facilitates shifting once the generator is set on the ground.
Features
The PGD125TiSRCO's control panel
To help you monitor the PGD125TiSRCO's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a convenient meter, displaying voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours information.
In addition to this info, the device's light indicators will illuminate to indicate if its oil levels are insufficient, the generator is overloaded and the generator is ready.
The built-in fuel gauge of the inverter generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.
As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off.
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.
Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Pulsar PGD125TiSRCO features extra accessories: propane hose, tool kit, oil, funnel, key fob and natural gas hose with NPT adapter.
The Pulsar PGD125TiSRCO versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Pulsar PGD125TiSRCO compare to multi-fuel generators of similar power (between 9500 and 10500 W).
- Considering its dry weight of 247 pounds, the Pulsar PGD125TiSRCO is one of the heaviest multi-fuel generators producing between 9500 and 10500 running watts. If weight is a key factor for your needs, the Genmax GM12000XiT is noteworthy for being one of the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 194 pounds.
- With noise levels starting from 66 dBA rating, this inverter generator stands out as one of the quieter options among products of similar type and power. If you value reduced noise levels, the Genmax GM12500iET could be worth considering. It's one of the quietest generators in its power range, rated at 62 dBA.
- As for its autonomy, the PGD125TiSRCO, with an autonomy of around 7 hours at a 50% load, is placed on the low end among the generators of its kind. If autonomy is your priority, one of the devices of a similar power output with the highest run time is the Pulsar G12KBN, reaching around 12 hours.
- While run time matters, it's heavily influenced by the fuel tank's capacity. Hence, it's important to consider fuel efficiency alongside. Compared to its peers, this inverter generator is not exactly fuel-efficient, compared to similarly powerful devices, with an estimated fuel consumption of 0.99 GPH at a 50% load. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc EFI, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.66 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
