For example, for the 495 218 Generator Power Panel,
120V, 3000W heater 3000W
120V, 10A chain saw 1200W
120V, 500W halogen lamp 500W
Total 4700W This loading is OK.

120V, 1000W halogen lamp 1000W
Total 5800W This loading is not OK
.
It exceeds 5500W.
Notes: 1. Each receptacle of the duplex can provide 15A/1800W. Do not parallel the two 120V duplex receptacles.
2. Do not parallel the two 120V circuits.
3. Do not parallel the two duplex outlets.
Calculating total power provided by generator.
(See Section 11 − Generator Power Guidelines)
Each receptacle can provide the watts or amps as shown
above. However, the total power can not exceed 5500W.
The rating plate on electrical apparatus will contain the watts
consumed or the rated input amps. Watts may be calculated by
multiplying the rated voltage by the rated input amps.
watts = volts x amps
