USING THE GENERATOR
DETERMINING ELECTRICAL LOAD
Rated (Running) Wattage: 1700W.
The rated wattage is the wattage that the generator can produce on a con-
tinuous basis. The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to the generator should not
exceed the rated wattage of 1700W.
Surge Wattage: 2000W.
The surge wattage is the maximum amount of power the generator can produce for an
extremely short period of time (seconds). Many electrical devices such as refrigerators require short bursts of extra
power in addition to the rated wattage listed by the device to start their motors. The surge wattage ability of the gen-
erator covers this extra power requirement.
The wattage of each electrical device should be listed on the device or in its instruction manual. If this wattage
cannot be found, calculate it by multiplying the Voltage requirement by the Amperage drawn: Watts = Volts x Am-
peres. The chart below serves as an estimated reference. However, do not solely rely on this chart - all electronics
and appliances are built differently. These are not standard wattages across the board, only estimations. Always
check the wattage listed on the electrical device before consulting this chart.
