The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. The generator has the capacity to supply 25 amps. Of course the load is what governs the amount of amperage drawn. Any load greater than 25 amps will load the generator down and probably trip the generator's breaker.

To find the amperage of a generator, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V for household generators, you can calculate the amperage as: 8500 Watts / 120 Volts = 70.83 Amps.

The single phase formula you are looking for is Watts/Volts x pf. Use a power factor of .91 unless a motor is connected.

8500w / 230v = 36 amps

230 is supply voltage
