Getting Started
When a motorized appliance or a tool turns on, there is an initial surge of
power to start. This surge of power is referred to as the "starting load" or
"peak load." Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to
operate. This is referred to as the "continuous load" in terms of power
requirements. You will need to determine how much power your tool or
appliance requires to start up (starting load) and its continued running
power requirements (continuous load).
Power consumption is rated in watts, or it can be calculated from
amperes (amps). This information is usually stamped or printed on most
appliances and equipment. If this information is not indicated on the
appliance or equipment, check the owner's manual.

= Starting Load for most appliances
This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load of most
appliances. Exceptions are motorized appliances such as pumps,
freezers and air conditioners. These appliances can have startup loads
of up to eight times the rated watts.
