Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the generator is powered by a spark-ignition engine but is not an inverter type
This alternative covers generating sets with spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines, which may apply if the inverter feature is not the primary classification factor.
If the generator is rated above 375 kVA and powered by a compression-ignition engine
Larger diesel-powered sets fall under this item, but this candidate is gasoline-powered, so this is only relevant if the engine type changes.
