’S MANUAL |    5

 

Getting Started 

– Your Power Requirement 

The loads connected to the Big Genny should have a combined power draw that does not exceed the 
inverter’s 

1,000

-Watt continuous power rating / 

2,000

-Watt surge power rating. Prior to connecting an 

appliance to the Big Genny, determine how much power your appliance requires to 

run (“continuous 

load”) and to start up (“starting load” or “peak 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 that 

you wish to connect to the Big Genny, check the appliance’s manual for its 

power ratings.  

Calculate power consumption (Watts) by multiplying the appliance’s AC Amperage rating by its AC 
Voltage rating: 

AC Amps x 120 Volts = AC Watts 

This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your appliance.   

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 (referred 

to as the “continuous load”).  

Calculate the appliance’s starting load by multiplying the appliance’s continuous load draw by two: 

AC Watts

Continuous

 x 2 = AC Watts

Starting

 

 

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 continuous rated Watts. To ensure that the Big Genny is capable of 
powering the appliance at hand, check the appliance’s manual for its Starting Watts rating. 

Operating a Microwave Oven with the Big Genny’s Power Inverter 

The power rating displayed on microwave ovens is the "cooking power" 

— the power being "delivered" to 

the food being cooked. The 

microwave’s actual operating power rating is typically listed on the back of 

the microwave. If the operating power cannot be found on the back of the microwave, check the owner's 
manual or contact the manufacturer.  
The Big Genny is capable of powering a small microwave, rated at a 750 Watt power draw or less. 

Television and Audio Suggestions for Operation with the Big Genny’s Power Inverter 

Although the inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your 
television picture may be unavoidable, especially in weak signal areas.  
However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception:  

 

First, make sure that the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating 
conditions. Also, ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded and of good quality.   

 

Change the positions of the inverter, antenna cables and television power cord.  

 

Isolate the television set, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12-volt power source by 
running an extension cord from the inverter to the television set.  

 

Coil the te

levision’s power cord and the input cables running from the 12-volt power source to 

the inverter.  

 

Attach a "Ferrite Data Line Filter" to the television power cord. More than one filter may be 
required. These filters are available at most electronic supply stores.
