Can a 120V generator run a camper's air conditioner?

Well all generators with a few exceptions produce 120 volts. What will determine if a generator will run your air conditioner is the number of watts the generator will put out. You need to learn the wattage needed by the air conditioner and also learn the max watts put out by the generator you have (Assuming you have one already) it the generator produces more watts that needed by the AC unit you are good to go. Not on the other hand if the generator you have dose not produce enough watts or you do not have one then it is a matter of buying a generator with the wattage required by the AC unit in your camper. Now if you are going to buy one I would also determine what else you would like to run from the generator (in addition to the air conditioner. Figure out the watts need by these items add them together with the watts needed by the AC unit. Then buy a generator big enough for your needs.

Does 1000 amps generator can run chest freezers?

Just wondering what you mean... Perhaps you meant a 1,000 WATT generator, in which case the answer would probably be "No". That's not enough capacity to run most freezers at start-up. If you actually did mean a 1,000 AMP generator, you would need to specify the voltage and amps or the watts of the generator and current draw of the freezer in question before anyone could answer your question. Since most home chest-type freezers operate on 115 VAC, that would mean that if your 1,000 AMP generator produced 115 volts, it would need to have a capacity of 11,500 watts. That's a pretty big home generator. You'll need to research the start-up requirements of your freezer and both the peak and continuous load capacity of the generator.

How many window ac can run with 1 KVA generator?

I have never seen a window A/C unit which runs on 1000 Watts and 1KVA is essentially 1000 watts. To run an A/C unit depending on the size you need a much bigger generator and not sized for the rated wattage of the unit but sized extra big to be able to kick the compressor motor over. Motor draw huge amounts of current when they first start typically unless you have a very late model with a VFD in it.


Where can I find the most suitable generator for 5-bedroom house?

Home generators come in many different shapes and sizes, or rather power outputs. There are a variety of sources that can be used to figure out how big of a generator you will need for your house.
