The following table is a representation of approximate load values for various appliances and tools for typical applications. To determine which generator will meet your power requirements total the electrical loads from the equipment and appliances you intend to run from the chart below. In addition to your total running load check the starting wattage requirements for any equipment with motors, I.e. air conditioners, refrigerators, etc and include the starting load for the largest motor in your totals. For the most accurate sizing of your generator we advise consulting with your local electrician.
