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.
