    I'm not too familiar with the M&J 1000S, having only used machines from their much larger range. In fact I thought the 1000S was a single shaft machine. However, to run 2 x 90 kw 3ph you will need a very big generator with something like a 260hp engine, and even that will grunt a bit when you first turn the M&J on unless you use a soft start.
