Electric Generators
Installation (Continued)
NOTE: Some motors require nearly the same wattage to run as to start. These items include saws, drills, hair dryers, and food mixers. See Chart 2 for typical appliance wattage examples.
4.Add watts and starting watts (maximum VA) of all items. This total must not be larger than the rated wattage of your generator. It is a good idea to have up to 25% extra capacity for future needs or extra equipment.
