Normally about 1.5kW but maximum would be 3.5kW if the gathering hole is
left uncovered for sufficient time.

A glass blower I know expressed interest in my electric glass melting
furnace, he mentioned wanting one to take to events for demonstrations and
powering it from a mobile generator. Now the controller uses a solid state
relay zero crossing switching and burst firing and I imagine the generator
may not like the rapid switching from load to no load and back. Does anyone
have any knowledge or experience of this type of application. I had
wondered about having a dummy heater load the same as the furnace and
switching between to two so the generator saw a constant load.


Hi David

How much power do you expect the generator to provide to the furnace when
it is ON??
