Take Amps times the volts to get Watts
115x15= 1725
120x15=1800 or
125x15=1875
(These are different voltages found in houses) i would go with the max of 125 volts and 1875 Watts so go for a 2000 watt (2kW) generator.

Can you run a 30 amp pump on a 7500 watt generator?
To answer this question the voltage of the pump must be stated.
1000 watt generator power can it power a oil burner?
Watts = amps x volts. 1000/120 = 8.3. Assuming the oil burner motor is 120V then the generator has the ability to produce 8.3 amps. Find the amperage on the burner pump motor, if it is in this range it will work. The closer the pump amperage is to the generator output the more effect it will have on slowing the generator down on the start. Motors draw up to 300% on start up, this is what makes the generator lag when a motor is connected as a load.
Will a 2400 watt generator run a sump pump?
A sump pump usually uses 200-400 watts. So 3.5kW is way overkill. That should be about enough to power sump pumps for your entire block.
How loud is a Storm Cat 800 watt generator?
A Storm Cat 800 watt generator has a decimal rating of between 190 to 265 decibels depending on load and amperage. This is enough noise pollution to cause hearing damage after twenty minutes of exposure.
How many amps does a 8000 watt generator supply?
An 8000 watt generator at regular house current 110v will supply 72 amps.
Can a 1000 watt generator run a 1500 watt ceramic heater?
A 1000 watt generator cannot run a 1500 watt ceramic heater without having problems.
Can you run a 30 amp pump on a 7500 watt generator?
To answer this question the voltage of the pump must be stated.
Will a 1000 watt generator run a 5000 btu air conditioner?
yes
Is a 1000 watt generator the same as 10 100 watt solar panels?
Yes, 1000 watts represents the conversion of 1000 Joules of energy each second, so it does not depend on the type of machine.

What watt generator would you need to run a 1 horsepower well pump?
you need to get a lot of horses
How much can you power on a 1600 generator?
If the 1600 represents 1600 watts like most generator numbers do, then the generator can deliver enough power to run a 1600 watt load connected to it.
1000 watt generator power can it power a compact fridge?
yes, it has an output of 20 amps @ 120v so it will power any standard refrigerator. I believe a 900 Watt Generator will only handle 7.5 amps at 120 Volts.
Will a 3000 watt portable generator provide enough power to support amps 110 volt circuits?
A 3000W 110V generator can provide up to 27A.
How many amps can a 9000 watt generator produce?
If your generator is rated at 1000 watts continuous......and you are using 120V.....available amps are 1000/120 =8.3 .
Will a 1000 watt generator operate a sump pump?
That depends on the power requirement of the sump pump. A 1000 watt generator (if this is running watts) will produce 1000 watts continuous. Through some simple math, this is equivalent to 8.33 amps at 120 volts. Current (in Amps)=Power (in Watts)divided by Voltage (in Volts). On your sump pump, there is something called a nameplate which lists model number, serial number, manufacturer, and power requirements. The power can either be listed in watts directly, or in amps (at 120v). If it lists watts directly, this number is either higher or lower than your 1000w generator. If it lists amps, your generator will supply 8.33 amps continuous, as figured above. Likewise, you can find out if your generator can power any given load by using this method. Just divide the listed wattage by 120 to get amps. Also, motors do pull higher current when they start, so it is usually recommended to size the generator larger than you would otherwise when you are running a motor, such as your pump. If the sump pump is right up there at 8 amps, it would be pushing the limit to expect it to run the pump. Some smaller generators too are so-called "inverter" units, and many of these are not recommended for motor starting duty. Check the generator's manual to be sure.
