Portable Generator Wattage Needs
When choosing a portable generator, it's important to identify the starting watts of all the devices you might power at
the same time. Some devices draw additional power as they get up and running. If this additional wattage is not
accounted for, system overload can result. To determine your requirements for a portable generator, see this wattage
chart sample.
