What is an inductive (reactive) load?
• Traditional fire service smoke ejectors • Sump pumps • Small refrigerators • Most roof-top air conditioning When used in conjunction with a Raven Smart Circuit™ phase correction device, the Blackbird will start and run inductive motors up to ½ horsepower. Inductive loads will require some amount of parallel resistive load to operate effectively. We encourage our customers to adopt SOPs which include running lighting as parallel load when operating inductive loads to assure maximum system stability. Between 1000 and 1500 watts usually suffices. The Blackbird thrives on resistive load, and will accept inductive load most readily when it is already carrying resistive load. Multiple inductive motor loads may not be operated simultaneously without prior authorization by Raven Technology. Contact Raven for details. Will the Blackbird™ run a rescue tool or cascade booster pump? Yes it will. The New Phase III Blackbird will operate most three-phase motors up to 3 HP. Contact us for details a

What is the rotational speed range of the generator, and is full power available throughout the range? The Blackbird will deliver full rated output of pure
