Maximum wattage and current area subject to and limited by such factors
as fuel BTU content, ambient temperatures, altitude, engine condition etc.
Maximum power decreases about 3.5% for each 1000 feet above sea level,
and will also decrease about 1% for each -12.2 degrees Celsius above16
degrees Celsius ambient temperature.
POWER LOADING MANAGEMENT
Your generator MUST be sized properly to provide both the running and
starting (surge) wattage of the devices you will be powering. Before using
your generator, determine the running and starting wattage requirements
of all the electrical devices you will be powering simultaneously.
Following below are 4 simple steps and an example on the right:
Step 1 Determine the tools and appliances you want to power at the same
time.
Step 2 List the start up and running power usage
(watts) for each product.
Step 3 Add the total power usage and add 10% as a safety net.
Step 4 Choose a generator with a rated maximum power than equals or
exceeds your total requirements. In this case, a generator with a
rated power of at least 3108W and a maximum power output
greater than 7233W would be required.
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts: Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow
these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator without any electrical load attached.
2. Allow the generator to run for several minutes to stabilize.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is advised to attached
