3 RESIDENTIAL GENERATOR PRODUCTS CA016001EN – July 2014 www.eatoncanada.ca
Notes:
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a data plate or decal affixed to the device.
• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply 120 volts times the ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors (induction types) require about three times more watts of power for starting than for running. This surge lasts for only a few seconds. Be sure you allow for this high starting wattage
when selecting electrical devices that will be energized by the backup power system:
• Figure the watts required to start the largest motor.
• Add that to the total running watts of all other connected loads.
