Generator Sizing Guide

It&#;s essential to include both starting and running wattage for each item. Starting wattage refers to the initial surge of power required to start an appliance, often higher than the running wattage. This information can typically be found in the owner&#;s manual or on an information plate on the equipment. Additionally, gathering the continuous and peak power information for all appliances is crucial to understanding the overall power needs.

Convert Power Information to Watts

A calculator may be used to convert power information to Watts if necessary. The conversion depends on the type of load, with Wattage = amps x volts for resistive loads and Wattage = amps x volts x load factor for reactive loads.

In simple terms:

  • Watts: The real power used by something (like a light bulb).
  • kVA: A measurement that includes both the real power (Watts) and some other power that doesn&#;t do actual work.
  • Amps: This is like the flow of electricity.

If you know the kVA and want to find out the Watts, you need to consider something called the &#;power factor,&#; which tells you how efficiently the power is used.

So, to get from kVA to Watts, you multiply the kVA by the power factor and then by . If you know the Amps and Volts, you can also figure out the kVA.

These numbers help you understand how much electricity something needs and help you make sure you have the right equipment to power it.
