If its a true..true 7500 watts..you might consider a transformer that
will plug into the genset and convert to 240 volts. That will give you
about 35000 watts @240 volts to work with.


How you figure?

7500 W capacity from the genset would still be 7500 W after the step-up,
just half the max current. 7.5kVA/120V -- 60-something A; halve that
for 240V.
