  "summary": "Tri-fuel inverter for whole-home backup: 9,000 W running / 12,000 W peak on gasoline (8,100/11,000 W propane, 7,200/9,800 W natural gas), 120/240 V with 14-50R and L14-30R, ≤3% THD, CO Sensor auto-shutdown, 19 h at 25% load on a 7.9 gal tank. 191 lb on wheels.",
  "description": "The iGen12000TFc is the successor to the iGen11000TFc in Westinghouse's tri-fuel inverter line, adding 1,000 W of peak output on each fuel. It runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas from the same 457 cc OHV engine, holds THD at or below 3%, and offers a 120/240 V 14-50R 50 A outlet, a 120/240 V L14-30R 30 A twist-lock and a GFCI 5-20R duplex, all transfer-switch ready. Westinghouse lists it as RV ready. Its built-in CO sensor shuts the engine down automatically when dangerous CO levels are detected nearby. Gasoline runtime is 19 h at 25% load and 11 h at 50% on the 7.9 gal tank; propane is 9 h and 5 h on a 20 lb cylinder.",
