How to size your generator
Our equipment lists two capacity ratings. The first is continuous use rating. The second, surge, is the quantity of power the generator can sustain for periods of twenty minutes or less (usually 10% above the continuous rating).
The chart Household loads will assist you to calculate appropriate generator’s sizing. This is only a partial listing of equipment you may consider as essential during a power failure.
For Contractors and Farmers, see how many watts you need by selecting appropriate chart.
First of all, identify which tools and appliances you want to power. You can find power requirements on each tool or appliance on its identification plate or within the Owner's Manual. If the power requirement is given in amps, multiply amps by voltage to have required watts.
Remember that under most circumstances, all of these devices may not be on at the same time. Plan carefully and manage your power use to get the best of your generator.
Use the following formulas to convert to watts if necessary :
- Amps x Volts = Watts (Single Phase , add 10% to make sure you have enough power)
- Amps x Volts x 1.73 = Watts (Three Phases)
- Running Watts** = Horsepower x 932 (for most motors)
** Remember that engines will take 3 to 6 times more power by starting.
