A 3500 watt generator used in North America has two outputs. A single voltage of 120 volts or a 120/240 volt output. The larger size generators usually have the dual voltage outputs. Using the formula I = W/E, Amperage equals Watts divided by Volts we can calculate the amperage output of the generator. Single voltage generators will be 3500/120 = 29 amps. A dual voltage generator at 240 volts will be 3500/240 = 15 amps. To calculate what devices the generator will operate, add up all of the amperage's of the devices you would like to operate. If the added load is higher than the calculated output the generator breaker will trip. If the calculated load is lower than the calculated output of the generator, the connected devices will operate.
If there is a motor being connected to the generator keep in mind that you have to use the motors full load amperage and multiply it by a factor of 3. This is because when a motor first starts, the generator will be looking at an almost dead short, with a high amperage draw, until the motor starts turning. Once the motor starts turning the amperage drops down to its normal operating amperage.
Each appliances uses a number of watts, and if all the watts for all the appliances are added up, the answer must not exceed 3500.
So thity five 100-watt lamps could be supplied, or three 1-kW loads plus five 100-watt lamps, etc.
The amperage produced by a generator is dependant on the voltage it is outputting. Amps = Watts/Volts. A 6500 watt generator at 120 volts will output 6500/120 = 54 amps. A 6500 watt generator at 240 volts will output 6500/240 = 27 amps. As you can see with the wattage remaining constant, as the voltage varies so does the amperage. With the generator rated in wattage, that is the total output that the generator can safely produce. Any higher than that and the generators circuit breaker will and should trip.
You can power any amount of devices that total to a sum of 3250 watts. If you can not find the wattage on the devices nameplates then use the amperage of the devices. I = W/E Amps = Watts/Volts. 3250/120 = 27 amps. A total of 27 amps can be used from a 3250 watt generator.
An 8000 watt generator at regular house current 110v will supply 72 amps.
The sizing of the generator is dependant on the size of the electric motor driving the mixer.
A 1500 watt generator will do fine.
A generator of a 1500 watt capacity and up will operate your furnace.

yes, it has an output of 20 amps @ 120v so it will power any standard refrigerator. I believe a 900 Watt Generator will only handle 7.5 amps at 120 Volts.
Most hair dryers are rated at least 800 watts to as much as 1875 watts. Given that, a 500 watt generator will NOT run a hair dryer. You would need at least a 2000 watt generator, just be be on the safe side.
A 1000 watt generator cannot run a 1500 watt ceramic heater without having problems.
An 8000 watt generator at regular house current 110v will supply 72 amps.
If the 1600 represents 1600 watts like most generator numbers do, then the generator can deliver enough power to run a 1600 watt load connected to it.
Yes, you can use up to 25 amps on a 3,000 watt generator.
Sears carries a large selection of portable generators and depending on the purpose you may get a 1,000 watt generator for as low as 164.99. A 1,000 watt generator would be good for camping or light operation. If you need something with a little more power you can get a 2,000 watt for 269.99 and a 4,400 watt generator for 399.00.
A 6000 watt generator will keep your small appliances running. A 20000 watt generator will keep all your home appliances running during power outages, like the refrigerator, dryer, washer, etc. Of course the higher the watt, the more expensive the generator, so it really depends how many outages you have in your area and how much money you are willing to invest.
None.
The sizing of the generator is dependant on the size of the electric motor driving the mixer.
A volt-amp (va) is the same as a watt (w). A 2.8 kva generator can provide 2800 w of power which is more than sufficient for a 1000 w saw, as long as the safety circuit breaker on the generator can handle the load. Short answer, yes.
You can compare online prices for a 10,000 watt generator on websites such as Amazon and eBay. You can also check out newspapers and sale advertisements.
