What size generator would you need to run a 300 watt pa sound system for a few hours?

A 300 watt audio system means it has a peak power of 300 watts but the average power might be only a fraction of that, perhaps 5-10 watts. So it might run off a car battery, with an inverter to supply the correct voltage if needed. <<>> A 300 watt public address sound system will operate very nicely from as small as a 500 watt AC generator. A 1000 watt generator will give you more capacity if there are other devices that need powering.


How much wind power to light a bulb?

You need a wind power generator to make the electric energy to hook your light to. Maybe charging a battery with the wind generator and running the light bulb off the battery will provide better service.


How long can a 3000 watt generator power a TV?

A 3000 watt generator can run from 8 to 20 hours on a single tank of fuel, depending on how heavy the load is. This type of generator employs an Eco system where if the load is shut off, the generator slows down to an idle state and stays there until the load is sensed again. On re sensing the load the generator speeds up to its rated output. Since a TV is on the very light end of the load, the generator should remain operating on the top end of the hours scale.


If you average 2000 kw of usage per month what size generator do you need?

You would need to size your generator to power the items that you need to power during a power outage (freezer, refrigerator, etc.). The fewer items you need to power the smaller the generator you can get. Items such as water heaters, air conditioners/heat pumps and electric furnaces use more energy than most smaller generators can supply. Any one item plugged into a 15 amp outlet would use less than 2000 watts each (max). A 5000 watt (continuous rating) generator should have no problem powering a refrigerator, a freezer and a few lights. Larger items like A/C, water heaters and electric furnaces would need to be turned off for a generator this size.


Does a high watt bulb give more energy than a low watt bulb?

More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.

What is a home water power generator?

A home water powered generator is a source of power to run your electric when the power goes off. It runs from water and pressure, you can get them from Lowe's.


How much does a generator cost?

Cost ranges from around one hundred dollars US for a tiny, off brand portable generator up to millions of dollars for large permanently installed generators. It really depends on the size and use. A typical 5000 watt portable generator you would use for camping and power outages at home costs around $500 - $800.

Portable or stand-by generator.


How to turn a generator to standby?

When turning a generator to a standby operations mode, there is often a switch on the generator. By turning the switch on and off, you should be able to use the generator should the power turn off and resume electricity which may have been interrupted


Does a back up generator need initial electricity to work?

No, a backup generator does not need initial power to work. Once it senses that the main source of power is cut off, the control will send a signal to the generator and the generator will kick start and provide electricity until it senses that a stable power source has returned. Then, it would switch off and be on standby mode again.


Where can I find a backup power generator?

There are many places you can find a generator if you want to keep it quite low on the price I would check lowes, home depot, craigslist or amazon. A backup power generator is an extra source of power so if someone runs their power off of a generator and it goes out they will have another one to use.
