Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to the generator and to
connected electrical devices. Observe the following to
prevent overloading the unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be
connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generator's wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data label or decal
affixed to the device.
• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage,
multiply volts times ampere rating to determine watts
(volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require
about three times more watts of power for starting
than for running. This surge of power lasts only a few
seconds when starting such motors. Make sure to
allow for high starting wattage when selecting electri-
cal devices to connect to the generator:
1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other con-
nected loads.
The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist in
determining how many items the generator can operate
at one time.
All figures are approximate. See data label on appli-
ance for wattage requirements.
