Starting power consumption
Electronic appliances and brushed motors generally will not draw more than running
Watts at start up. Induction motors in equipment like air conditioners, welders, water
pumps and compressors can draw 2 to 5 times their running power to start. Please
consult your equipment’s rating label, manual or the manufacturer to confirm specific
requirement. If only the running wattage is given on the nameplate for a device with an
electric motor, the starting wattage can be approximated to be three to five times the
running wattage. Estimates for the running wattage requirements for common devices
are listed in the table below. Guidance for starting wattages is provided in the table’s
footnotes. To size your generator correctly you need to use Watts - here are some useful
calculations: Watts = Volts x Amps Example 240 Volts x 5 Amps = 1200 Watts
(a) Hard-starting motors require 3-5 times the rated running watts
(b) For extremely hard to start loads such as air conditioners and air compressors,
consult the equipment dealer to determine max wattage STARTING THE ENGINE
Initial Oil Fill
STOP!
BEFORE ADDING ENGINE OIL, REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 6.
NOTICE
Engine oil must be added when the
inverter is on a flat, level surface, or an
inaccurate reading may result. Do not
overfill. If the engine is overfilled with oil, it
cancause serious engine damage.
