Tool and Appliance Wattage Guide

When choosing a Generator, figure the total wattage of the tools and appliances you will need using this chart.

The Running (Rated) Wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage the generator can output on a continuous basis.

The Starting (Surge) wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power the generator can output for a short period of time. Many electrical devices such as refrigerators require short bursts of extra power, in addition to the rated wattage listed by the device, to stop and start their motors. The surge wattage ability of the generator covers this extra power requirement.
