Essential
Circuits
As a Home Standby Generator
owner, it is important that
you clearly identify the circuits in your building that are
"essential" to you.
It is important
that your installer understand which circuits
you want to include as "Essential Circuits". Depending on
the power consumed by these circuits, most or all of them
can be switched to the Home Standby Generator
for the
duration of normal power interruption.
The wattage reference guide shown in Figure 2 will assist
you with your decision-making
process. It provides the
wattage used by many ordinary household devices. Use it
as a guide when selecting your essential circuits. Review
this information
with your installer and ask about any
technical considerations
that might affect the cost of your
installation.

Selection
When selecting the essential circuits that will be switched to
"Standby Power," it is important that the sum of the combined
circuit loads does not exceed the wattage/amperage capacity
of the generator.To help you with your selection of essential
circuits, please consider the following:
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 plate or decal affixed to the
device.
If the appliance, tool or motor
does not give wattage,
multiply
120 Volts times the ampere rating to determine
watts (Volts x Amps = Watts).
Some electric
motors
(induction types) require about
three times more watts of power for starting than for
running.This
surge lasts for only a few seconds. Be sure
you allow for this high starting wattage when selecting
electrical devices that will be energized by the Home
Standby Generator:
Figure the watts required to start the largest motor.
Add that to the total running watts of all other
connected loads.
