To find the wattage needed , you multiply amps by volts. In the case of a portable generator you need to find the running wattage. most generators display peak wattage in large numbers on the top , or frame . this is not suitable for welders, which may exceed this for longer than the gen. is rated . You need to look at the actual tag that shows running watts and specific voltages.

Is 115 v good for home theater?

If you live in an area that uses 115V as the mains supply, then it's absolutely fine. Equipment sold in the area will be designed to operate on that voltage and there is no difference in performance between 115V equipment and 230V equipment.

How many watts does a generator need to run a shop vacuum or buffer?

It really depends on the size of the vacuum or buffer. Considering that the typical outlet in a house is (approximately) 115 volts and will handle 15 amps of current, the most the generator would need to be is 115V x 15A or 1725 watts continuous power. You can check the amperage rating on your vacuum or buffer to get a more accurate answer for your situation.

Is This 115v or 220 ?

Does this air conditioner require 220 volts?


You have an old Gould 2hp elect motor that you want to switch from 230v to 110v The existing connections do not match directions in earlier question and suggested 110v connections differ from mtr diag?

2 HP, A-C Single phase, 115/230 volt motor. And you wish to operate it on 115V. First the circuit size would need to be a min. of 30amp/ #10wire.... Being a Gould is this a pump/motor? I ask because single phase pump motor are not reversible, so they have less leads to connect..Is the motor thermaly protected (check name plate) Again less leads to connect if not therm-protected. How many lead motor is it, and what are the leads #. If it is 4 leads and # t1,t2,t3,t4 connect line1 to t1 and t3 connect line2 to t2 and t4. Let me know what the # are and how many leads their are.. I would not operate a motor that large on 115V, (1HP is about max on 115V)
