NOTE
The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your specific appliance for
correct wattage.
To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage
figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps)
information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools.
Applications
Incandescent lamp, Heater
Fluorescent lamp, Electric tool
Mercury lamp
Pump, Compressor
VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain
amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for
the appliance or tool.
The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss when an extension cord of 100 meters
is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator.
