A mus t read before
for your home, you must decide what circuits you want it to power. For buying a generator! !
instance you might want it to power only necessary items such as a
few lights, furnace/boiler, water pump etc. Or, you may decide that
you want it to power your entire house or somewhere in between.
Prepare an itemized list of these circuits and/or appliances and total WINCO DL6000I

are listed with their wattages on the power page of this site. Most $987.00
appliances and motors have its wattage listed on a nameplate. If not,
try to find its voltage and amperage and multiply them together (see
Power Page). Motors require special attention so a separate section
is provided for them. Take some time to think about this, and list the
items in their order of importance to you.

Here's an example;
Realistically, however, while all the motors may at one time or another
be running in concert, they won't necessarily all start simultaneously.
With this in mind we must again assume the worst case condition,
which in this example is the starting of the largest motor while the
others are running.
To calculate this condition we add the motor with the largest starting
load, which is motor A (2,100), to the running loads of B (500) and C
(250), for a total load of 2,850 watts. This load requirement can be
reduced if we have manual control of all the motors to ensure they are
started largest first. In this way, the motors with the largest starting
requirements are already running and drawing their smaller running
loads when the last and smallest motor is started. Therefore we would
add the running loads of A (700) and B (500), to the starting load of C
(750), for a total load of 1,950 watts.
But be careful, because as you can see this load is less than the
starting load of motor A (2,100) alone. So the minimum load we can
use in this example is 2,100 watts, and only if we have control of the
motor starting order.
To this figure add our 10% safety margin to obtain the final figure we'll
use to select a generator size; 10% X 4,290 = 429. 4,290 + 429 =
4,719 watts. Thus we need a generator that can provide us with 4,719
watts of continuous power.
Choose Wisely!
I know that your first instinct may be to try and justify purchasing the
smallest and least expensive generator to save money. This is
completely understandable. But, if this is to be a one time investment,
that will last you many years, then it must be sized not only for today’s
needs but also for tomorrows.
When properly sized, used, and maintained the high quality generator
you purchase here will get you through many many hurricane seasons
or winters.
