CoachA 1200 watt generator can typically power small appliances such as a refrigerator, microwave, computer, TV, lights, and fans. It may not be able to power larger appliances like air conditioners or washers and dryers. Be sure to check the specific power requirements of your appliances to ensure they can be safely powered by the generator.

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 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.
How much wind power to light a bulb?
The amount of wind power needed to light a bulb depends on the size of the bulb, its wattage, and the efficiency of the wind turbine. As a rough estimate, a 60-watt bulb could be powered by a small wind turbine with an output of around 400-1000 watts.
Can you run an electric stove off generator?
Yes, you can run an electric stove off a generator, but it may require a generator with a higher wattage capacity to handle the stove's power requirements. Make sure to check the stove's wattage and the generator's capacity before attempting to power the stove.
Should you turn off a portable generator before turning off the appliances it powers?
Yes, it is recommended to turn off the portable generator before turning off the appliances it powers. This helps prevent potential damage to the appliances from power surges or fluctuations when the generator is turned off.
