What Size Generator Do I Need?Below is a load chart to show just how many watts each appliance uses. The following table is a representation of approximate load values for various appliances and tools for typical applications. To determine which Winco Generator will meet your power requirements total the electrical loads from the equipment and appliances you intend to run from the chart below. In addition to your total running load check the starting wattage requirements for any equipment with motors, i.e. Air Conditioners, Refrigerators etc. and include the starting load for the largest motor in your totals. For the most accurate sizing of your generator we advise consulting with your local electrician and your Winco Dealer. If you do not know the wattage requirements of certain tools and/or appliances, they can be found by applying this formula: volts x amps = watts Appliance Watts/Hour 1" drill 1000 1/2" drill 750 1/4" drill 250 12" chain saw 1100 14" band saw 1100 3" belt sander 1000 Compact fluorescent incandescent equivalents: 40 watt equivalent 11 60 watt equivalent 16 75 watt equivalent 20 100 watt equivalent 30 7 1/4" circular saw 900 8 1/4" circular saw 1400 9" disc sander 1200 Air Conditioner (Central) 2000-5000 Air Conditioner (Room) 1000 AM/FM car tape 8 Blender 300 Blow Dryer 1000 CB Radio 5 CD Player 35 Ceiling Fan 10-50 Clock Radio 1 Clothes Dryer (Electric) 4000 Clothes Dryer (Gas) 300-400 Coffee Maker 800 Coffee Pot 200 Computer (laptop) 20-50 Computer (PC) 80-150 Computer (Printer) 100-400 Dishwasher 1200-1500 Electric Blanket 200 Electric Clock 3 Electric mower 1500 Electric Water Heater (One Element) 5500 Electric Water Heater (Two 4500 Watt Elements) 9000 Freezer - Conventional (14cf) 440 Freezer - Sunfrost (19cf) 112 Frying Pan 1200 Furnace Blower 300-1000 Garage Door Opener 350 Heater (Engine Block) 150-1000 Heater (Portable) 1500 Heater (Stock Tank) 300-1000 Heater (Waterbed) 400 Hedge trimmer 450 Hot Plate 1200 Iron 1000 Lights (100w incandescent) 100 Lights (20w DC compact fluor.) 22 Lights (25w compact fluor.) 28 Lights (40w DC halagen) 40 Lights (50w compact fluor.) 50 Microwave 600-1500 Popcorn popper 250 Radiotelephone (Receive) 5 Radiotelephone (Transmit) 40-150 Refrigerator - Conventional 16cf (13 hours) 475 Refrigerator - Conventional 20cf (15 hours) 540 Refrigerator - Sunfrost (12cf) 70 Refrigerator/Freezer - Vestfrost (10.5 cf) 60 Refrigerator/Freezer - Vestfrost (7.5 CF) 50 Refrigerator - Sunfrost (16cf) 112 Satellite Dish 30 Sewer Lift Pump 2000 Sewing Machine 100 Shaver 15 Sink waste disposal 450 Stereo 10-30 Table Fan 10-25 Toaster 800-1500 TV (12" b&w) 20 TV (19" color) 70 TV (25" color) 150 Typewriter 80-200 Vacuum Cleaner (Hand) 100 Vacuum Cleaner (Upright) 200-700 VCR 40 Waffle Iron 1200 Washing Machine (Automatic) 500 Washing Machine (Manual) 300 Waterpik 100 Weed eater 500 Well Pump 250-2000 |
