ELECTRIC MOTOR LOADS
It is characteristic of common electric motors in normal operation to draw up to six times their running current while
starting. This table may be used to estimate the watts required to start electric motors; however, if an electric motor fails
to start or reach running speed, turn off the appliance or tool immediately to avoid equipment damage. Always check
the requirements of the tool or appliance being used compared to the rated output of the generator.
NOTICE:
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plug-
ging them into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10%
voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation
from the generator name plate ratings. To avoid
damage, always have an additional load plugged into
the generator if solid state equipment (such as a televi-
sion set) is used. A power line conditioner is recom-
mended for some solid state applications.
GENERATOR CAPACITY
Make sure the generator can supply enough conti-
nuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items
you will power at the same time. Follow these simple
steps.

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items.
This is the amount of power the generator must produ-
ce to keep the items running. See the wattage reference
chart at right.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will
need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed
to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as
a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors
start at the same time, total surge watts can be estima-
ted by adding only the item(s) with the highest additio-
nal surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2.
