You must make sure your generator cansupply enough

rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you

will power at the sametime. Follow these simple steps:

I. Select the itemsyou wilt power at the sametime.

2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.Thisis
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your itemsrunning. SeeFigure 13.

3. Estimate how manysurge (starting) watts you wilt
need.Surge wattage isthe short burst of power

needed to start electric motor-driven tools or
appliancessuch asa circular saw or refrigerator.

Becausenot all motors start at the sametime, total

surge watts can be estimated by addingonly the
