Use this formula W = A x V . Assuming that the saw is using 120 volts. 15 x 120 = 1800. Start up current on a motor will draw up to 300 % instantaneously so a 2000 watt generator might just do it. It would lug at the start but then catch up and run the saw. On motor from generator uses higher wattage is better.

How many watts does a 18 watt floresent light bulb consume?
Divide the wattage by the voltage. If it is 120Volt then the answer is .15Amp
Does surge strips provide a built-in 15amp circuit breaker?
If the circuit breaker is in the off position there is no need of overload protection. Overload protection monitors the load amperage, If there is no amperage through the circuit there is nothing to monitor.
How many 125 watt bulbs can be used on a 15amp circuit?
Assuming that your voltage is 120 volts the maximum wattage on that circuit is W = A x V = 15 x 120 = 1800 watts. Code only allows circuits to be loaded up to 80% capacity. 1800 x .8 = 1440. 1440/25 = 57 lamps. Assuming that your voltage is 240 volts the maximum wattage on that circuit is W = A x V = 15 x 240 = 3600 watts. If the question is from a 240 volt country you will have to find out what the local electrical regulations are for circuit loading.
Is an electrical extension cord the same as a wall outlet?
The extension cord will extend the power outlet from a wall socket. The voltage will be the same at the end of the cord as it is from the socket. Be aware that extension cord may have a limit, as to how much current it can provide. The cord should be thick enough to provide as much power as the outlet can. It will then be properly protected by the circuit's fuse or breaker. A thin cord may get hot if a large consumer is plugged in, unless the cord is protected by it's own fuse at the plug end.
What size of circuit breaker should you use for a lighting circuit?
To correctly size a lighting circuit, you must know the total power that the circuit will draw, in watts. For example, if there is 7 lights on a circuit, each light consumes 100W, that gives you a total of 700W on the circuit. Then you must know the voltage that is being supplied to the circuit. For this example, 120VAC will be used. To calculate the current needs for sizing the breaker, use the formula P=E*I, where P=watts, E=voltage, I=current/amps. So, in this example, P=700, E=120, I is unknown. After working the formula, you have an answer of 5.83 A. Breakers generally come in sizing increments of 5A.....5A, 10A, 15A, 20A, etc. The answer for this example was 5.83A, so the 5A breaker is obviously not enough. The next size is 10A, which is more than the calculation, but you must also consider that breakers are designed to operate at 80% capacity for periods of time over about 3 hours. So for an office atmosphere where the lights will definitely be on for longer periods of time than residential (in most cases), you would need to make sure that the total Amps needed is equal to or less than the 80% of the breaker size you have chosen. A 10A breaker is only designed to provide 8A of capacity for longer periods of time. So for this example, a 10A circuit breaker would be properly sized. You must also abide by the NEC code for maximum number of fixtures on any particular circuit. Refer to NEC for that information. If you were to change the light fixtures to a larger size, such as 200W each, you would then find that you need to also change the breaker and possibly the wire size that is run through the circuit, to maintain compliance with NEC.
Can you plug a 240V 15amp 2KW machine directly into a 240V 16amp 3.8KW generator?
Yes and no - If the machine has a high starting torque, the generator may not start it. A compressor is high a water pump may be low.
