Description

Zoom on the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO

In a nutshell, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is a powerful portable inverter generator mostly geared towards:

  • Food truck owners who do not wish to see their business interrupted under any circumstances
  • Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
  • Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source
  • Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working

In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.

Power & Run Time

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO in use

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO

Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO delivers 120/240V and offers power and versatility. When gasoline-powered, it benefits from a running wattage of 7,600W and a peak wattage of 9,500W. When propane-powered, it has 7,200 rated watts and 8,550 peak watts. Moreover, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) enables increasing of power output when paired with another similar or compatible unit, providing increased energy capacity and versatility for a wide range of needs.

At a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a normal conversation), this inverter generator can be started via a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism, or a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the PGD95BiSCO may be remotely started, enhancing user convenience (key fob included).

The PGD95BiSCO, with a fuel capacity of 6.9 gallons, reaches a run time of around 9.5 hours at 50% load utilizing gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.73 GPH). Alternatively, it can reach a run time of around 4.5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.04 GPH) with propane.

The PGD95BiSCO generates a clean sine wave with <5% 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

Additionally, it features 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.

Since the PGD95BiSCO bears a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it is easily connectible to a breaker box and can power your home in case of a power outage.

Portability

With its enclosed inverter generator design (L31.4 x W22.8 x H29.4 in), the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. The featured design follows the latest trends and is ideal for easy and recreational use.

Even though this device may be technically portable (as in movable), manipulation and transportation without special equipment can be a challenge, as it weighs 244 pounds. 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.

The PGD95BiSCO's control panel

Monitoring of the PGD95BiSCO's status and activity is made possible by a digital data center, which provides information on the frequency, voltage, lifetime run hours and power output and is one of the features of its control panel.

In addition to this info, light indicators on the device will signal if the generator is ready, the generator is on overload and its oil levels are insufficient.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the inverter generator.

From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), giving you a peace of mind during use.

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.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO's package also includes these accessories: propane hose, funnel, tool kit and key fob.

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO compare to dual fuel generators of similar power (between 7500 and 8500 W).

  • Weighing in at 244 lbs, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is one of the heaviest dual fuel generators available in the 7500-8500 rated wattage segment. If weight is your top priority, one of the champions in this power category is the Pulsar PGL9000BCO, weighing just 149 pounds.
  • Rated at a lowest possible noise level of 62 dBA, this inverter generator positions itself amongst the more quiet of the products of similar type and power. If you'd like a less noisy alternative, the DuroMax XP9500iH is a strong contender. It boasts a noise rating of 61 dBA, placing it among the quietest generators in its power category.
  • Concerning its runtime, the PGD95BiSCO provides around 9.5 hours at a 50% load, indicating that it falls on the lower side compared to other generators of its type and power range. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the Firman H07553, as it provides around 12 hours.
  • Though run time is a significant parameter, it's closely tied to the generator's fuel tank size. To get a comprehensive understanding, fuel efficiency must also be taken into account. The inverter generator burns fuel at a rate of around 0.73 GPH when running at a 50% load, which is consistent with the average fuel usage of models of comparable power output. If minimizing fuel usage is one of your key priorities, the Powerhorse s10500id is one of the most efficient devices with similar power output, with a gasoline consumption of only 0.59 gallons per hour.

Price comparison

As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 7500-8500W inverter generators, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
