Know Generator Limits

Overloading a generator can result in damage
to the generator and connected electrical
devices. Observe the following to prevent
overload:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical
devices to be connected at one time. This
total should NOT be greater than the gener-
ator's wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken
from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools,
appliances, and motors can be found on a
data label or decal affixed to the device.
• If the appliance, tool, or motor doesn't 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 select-
ing electrical devices to connect to the gen-
erator:
1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest
motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all
other connected loads.
The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to
assist in determining how many items the gen-
erator can operate at one time.
NOTE: All figures are approximate. See data
label on appliance for wattage requirements.
