NOTES:
Wattages listed are approximate. Check your equipment for actual wattage.
Equipment with unusually high
Multiple loads can be used as long as the total load does not exceed 4,000 watts. Be sure to start the largest loads first. For example, a 1 HP motor needs approximately 1,000 watts while running but may require 2,500 watts to start. Some inductive motors may require as much as 4 times running watts to start.
